Convert feasibility into schematic design

Turn an approved feasibility option into editable schematic design with layouts, structure, services, metrics and exportable outputs.

How it works

PODIUM project setup view

Start from PODIUM setup

Start with your site, massing and feasibility design inside PODIUM. Teams can set up project requirements, or let engineers reuse approved templates and configurations across similar projects. This keeps structural loads, MEP requirements, equipment assumptions and design standards consistent from project to project.

Detailed Design AI generated model

Generate with Detailed Design AI

Select the building you want to resolve, then run Detailed Design AI. PODIUM generates the next layer of detail, including structural systems, MEP spatial planning, schedules, quantities and exportable model data. Teams can review the result, adjust the settings and rerun when needed.

From massing to detailed design

Configure standards

Set up or reuse project standards before running the AI. Includes structural loads, MEP requirements, equipment assumptions, riser rules, plant room logic, schedule formats and export settings.

Select building

Choose the building or scheme you want to resolve in more detail. PODIUM keeps the site, massing, levels, layouts and feasibility logic as the starting point, so teams do not need to rebuild the model from scratch.

Run Detailed Design AI

Let PODIUM generate the detailed design layer. The AI produces structural automation, MEP automation and data-rich model outputs based on the selected building and configured standards.

Review and refine

Analyse the generated model before moving forward. Review structure, services spaces, quantities, schedules and export data. If the result needs changes, update the settings and rerun.

Export downstream

Export the resolved model for validation and continuation. Teams can export analytical models, schedules and structured project data for BIM, consultant review and downstream workflows.
