About Us

Our Vision
At Refer to AI, we believe artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape the architecture and construction industry, but how is still unfolding. We’re not here to automate emails or us AI to design buildings. We’re here to build tools that actually make our jobs better.
As architects, we’ve felt the friction and inefficiencies of traditional workflows. We see an opportunity for AI to solve real problems that matter to designers, builders, and owners alike. But this isn't about hype, it’s about discovery.
Refer to AI is an independent R&D lab focused on exploring what AI can do for architecture and construction. We don’t claim to have all the answers. But we’re asking the right questions, building prototypes, testing ideas, and learning fast. Our vision is to invent the tools that will define tomorrow’s architecture practice, tools we’d want to use ourselves.
We’re not just watching the future unfold. We’re helping build it.
