Startup Investing $25 Million to Build AI Framework That Will Reshape How Buildings Are Designed and Built

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--cove, the AI for Architecture company driving a technology-enabled future, today introduces its full-service architecture practice, Cove Architecture. Designed to spur a new era of architecture, this division is powered by a two-part AI framework that will help reshape how teams design and deliver buildings. The foundations of this AI took nearly a decade to develop, requiring more than $25 million in R&D investment.

The cove team has spent years perfecting simulation engines and building robust data sets that serve as the backbone for this new division. Drawing on data-driven insights, Cove Architecture streamlines design, cuts out inefficiencies, and delivers more sustainable outcomes on the projects it designs and manages. The architecture practice has already proven its value as it completed its first project in Atlanta, GA.

“When we started cove, we began by building software for others to optimize costs, compress timelines, and meet performance standards,” explained Sandeep Ahuja, Co-founder and CEO of cove. “Over time, we realized that the best way to showcase the true potential of our technology was to use it ourselves, end to end. Today, that technology forms the bedrock of our architecture services – rather than just offering tools, we guide projects from concept to completion.”

Cove Architecture merges design excellence with real-time intelligence, ensuring that projects are not just beautiful, but also on budget and on schedule. Additional benefits include reduced risk thanks to built-in compliance checks and rapid iteration, faster delivery with design cycles completed up to 50% faster, and lower construction costs with projects seeing a reduction of up to 20% in overall expenses.

The AI Framework Powering Cove Architecture

At the core of Cove Architecture are Vitras.ai and ARK_BIM, an AI duo developed to redefine architectural innovation.

Vitras.ai functions as the analytical powerhouse for the architectural services team. It sifts through volumes of data that would otherwise take a human team weeks to process and surfaces critical insights in real time. It flags cost variables, highlights code or FEMA compliance issues, and pinpoints potential red flags with over 95% accuracy.

ARK_BIM takes the intelligence from Vitras.ai and translates it into dynamic 3D models, complete with cost analyses and construction documents. This all happens in a web-based platform designed with a Git-style version control enabling truly parallel collaboration.

“Our team spent years perfecting simulation engines and building the robust data sets that now serve as the ‘brain’ for Vitras.ai and ARK_BIM,” explained Patrick Chopson, Co-founder and CPO at cove. “We experimented, tested accuracy, and refined algorithms to the point where we could finally embed an AI agent into the process itself. We built our AI from the ground up, and are applying our breakthroughs to real projects.”

First Cove Architecture Project Underway in Atlanta

Cove Architecture recently completed its first project, designing a multi-family complex located in Atlanta’s West End neighborhood in just 15 days. The project leveraged the power of Vitras.ai and ARK_BIM to set impressive benchmarks in design efficiency, including: a 60% reduction in design timelines, early-stage cost estimates that hit 95% accuracy, and a 40% cut in design iteration expenses.

The project includes 15 row houses, with each unit outfitted with smart home technologies and sustainability features. They promote a living experience that is both modern and deeply connected to their surroundings, including the popular Atlanta Beltline. The project is located at 1247 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and will set a new standard for urban design and development.
