Design intelligence for AEC

Connecting every dot
in the built environment.

DIDOT connects each design decision to the next, one dot after another. The first dot turns your 3D model into real materials, compared options and a specification your team can build from.

DIDOT comparing three material scenarios for a living room side by side: Warm Minimal, Stone Contemporary and Earthy Luxe, with the materials used on ceiling, feature wall, flooring and joinery.

The problem

Design intent leaks at every handoff. Nobody connects the dots.

Decisions made in the model rarely survive to site. Each handoff loses a little of what was meant, and why.

Design → Spec

Specs start from scratch

Written weeks after the design was agreed, often by someone who wasn't in the room.

Spec → Tender

Product data is scattered

Datasheets, websites, samples and chat threads, none of it linked to the surface it's for.

Tender → Site

Substitutions go untraced

Value engineering swaps a product and the reason for the original choice disappears.

Site → Client

Clients approve from PDFs

Finishes signed off from static renders, with no view of cost, carbon or lead time.

Dot 01 · Specification · Live in pilot

From model to specification. Six steps, one thread.

Every surface, product and decision stays linked, so the spec says what the team agreed.

Upload screen: drag and drop a SketchUp file or import from Trimble Connect, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.

Select view: a living room view with clickable surfaces and suggested materials such as lime plaster, oak wood panel and travertine.

Step 1 of 6

Upload your model

Drop in a SketchUp file or pull it from Trimble Connect, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Revit, IFC and Archicad are next.

Inside DIDOT

Built for how studios actually decide.

Same look. Less carbon.

DIDOT finds products that match the design, then lines up the trade-offs: cost per m², lead time, fire rating, acoustics and warranty.

Four oak panel alternatives compared on visual match, material type, finish, core, dimensions, thickness and fire rating.

Every option, scored.

Carbon per m² and total project impact, before anything is ordered.

DIDOT insight
A2 gives a similar look with 24% lower cost, 28% lower carbon and a week less lead time.

Example from the Riverside Residence demo

Carbon impact in kgCO2e per square metre and total project impact for four alternatives.

Add anything from a link.

Preview of Dot 02

Clients see decisions, not PDFs.

A client view with every material, its status and the next step. Approvals and comments flow straight back into the spec.

Who it's for

One thread for the whole project team.

Architecture & interior studios

Specify faster without losing the design you presented.

Design-build & contractors

Know exactly what was agreed, where it goes and why.

Developers & owners

See cost, carbon and lead time before you approve.

Specialist engineers

Bring performance data into the decision, not after it.

What we're building

One dot after another. Specification is the first.

Each dot we connect produces the data the next one needs. We start where design intent becomes something a contractor can price and build.

Specification

Live in pilot

Model to real materials to a buildable specification package.

Client & site handoff

Approvals, procurement and installation, tracked against the spec.

Hardware

In development

A physical layer that brings the built world into the loop. More soon.

Spatial intelligence

Research

A spatial model that learns from what was intended and what actually got built.

DIDOT is building the data infrastructure for spatial intelligence.
