The Unitized Design Solution

for Many Typologies   

Your projects, your expertise, your design aesthetic, Skema’s acceleration 

Whether new build, modular, or adaptive reuse, fast forward past the mundane modeling and repetitive drafting tasks and get to crafting
one-of-a-kind designs 

Skema for HEALTHCARE 

From medical office buildings (MOBs) to advanced research facilities, modern healthcare facility design is challenging and complex. Skema captures the design knowledge and best design work from your previous projects, harnessing your proven solutions for surgery suites, nursing stations, exam rooms and more. Skema maintains your design standards across projects and project teams. With Skema, deliver schematics and BIM deliverables earlier, giving you more time to focus on the high value design work that differentiates your firm. 

Skema for EDUCATION 

The trend to deliver modern 21st century educational facilities is one of the fastest growing segments in building. Designers are challenged to support cost efficient industrialized construction methods, while delivering learning spaces that are far superior to traditional classrooms. With Skema, you can leverage Design Catalogs of units that are already proven in previous projects allowing you to quickly iterate design options as you plan and execute flexible, multi-use educational spaces. Then, Skema’s BIM in Minutes capabilities helps you ensure the higher quality construction documents are on time and on budget.  

Skema for HOSPITALITY  

Contemporary hospitality architecture demands flexible spaces and signature style. Skema enables you to create standard Design Catalogs that easily deliver consistent, repeatable high quality for guest rooms and administration areas, allowing designers to focus their creative efforts on the areas that differentiate the guests’ stay. Whether modular new construction or a historic reimagining, use Skema to maximize the square footage opportunities and minimize the time you spend on creating BIM models.

Skema for RESIDENTIAL 

From high-end developments to senior housing, and from mixed-use to office-to-residential adaptive reuse, residential designers and developers must balance the need to contain costs with the demand for consumer-centric designs. Skema lets you easily create layouts using the Design Catalog with your solutions. Quickly assess feasibility using Skema’s integrated metrics that display unit mix, floor area ratio, and other key figures. Generate multiple design options with real-time metrics updated, ensuring you can present your proposals with greater confidence and accuracy.  

Skema for DATA CENTERS 

Designing data centers involves navigating many complexities. Use Skema to create repeatable prototypes and easily validate the number of servers and data halls. With Skema it’s easy to update designs as data from other disciplines changes. As a web app on an independent tech stack, Skema easily integrates with MEP and HVAC tools. With Skema you get BIM models you can trust that enable you to easily move towards industrialized construction methods. 

Skema for YOUR PROJECTS

Whether you're designing pickleball courts, industrial facilities, or retail spaces, Skema is designed to save architects, owners, developers, and builders up to 8 weeks in their schematic-to-BIM design workflow. Design similar project types more efficiently, without losing design aesthetic credibility. Maintain design standards between project teams and from project to project. Deliver better and higher quality BIM deliverables more easily and faster. Get to a higher level of design detail earlier to support industrial construction processes. With Skema, you can confidently deliver high quality proposals and projects. 

Experience a Step Change in Design Automation

A New Approach to Design that Seamlessly Integrates with Existing Workflows

Our AI Respects Your IP

Your successful BIM designs are your intellectual property – your IP. We get it. And we respect it. We don’t train our AI on your data. Your Design Catalogs of your ‘greatest hits’ designs are for your firm, and only your firm, to apply to new projects.

Design Catalogs 

Skema’s easy-to-use Design Catalogs give you full control over your feasibility studies, proposals, detail designs, and BIM deliverables - in an easy-to-use web app.

Puzzle Pieces 

Rapidly iterating multiple design schemes is a breeze. Arrange your firm’s design elements like puzzle pieces to fit new concepts, creating variants and options to explore.

Morph

Resolve tricky layouts. When a layout doesn’t quite fit the space available in your parti, Skema’s unique Morphing Tools let you easily squeeze or stretch your puzzle pieces, even around corners.  Or create entirely new schemes just by morphing the layout into new shapes. 

Integrated Metrics  

No more guessing. As you design, Skema tracks your key figures with precision. Because the BIM data backs up your design, you can be confident that everything will fit in your resolved scheme.

Effortless BIM 

When you’re ready to move forward from schematic design, Skema does the heavy lifting to generate your construction-document-ready BIM project in a few clicks. 

What People Are Saying

  • Skema AI’s knowledge agent is designed to enable the senior designer to efficiently pursue work for the firm.

    — AEC Magazine | November 2023

  • Designers can learn how to use Skema in a few hours and then deploy it to create designs using the tool. One early customer, architecture firm TVS, held a charette using Skema and produced designs for a mixed-use multifamily project in one day.

    — Architosh | October 2023

  • Skema is the only generative solution that natively connects and works with BIM tools. The promise of saving time on repetitive tasks is a reality. By using Skema, you can delight your clients with exceptional quality, speed, level of detail, and data in the conceptual design phase while raising your profit margin at the same time.

    — Jim Balding | Founder, The ANT Group

  • Adoption of software like Skema presents a win for both firms and clients, allowing for more rapid prototyping of different layouts and configurations, and faster iterations in a project’s early stages.

    — TVSdesign.com | Perspective August 2023

  • Excellent pitch, well received by our Venture Forum members

    — Builtworld’s Winner | January 2024

  • Fast-evolving Skema has a lot to offer architects looking to leverage AI and machine learning in practical ways to win work faster and increase economic performance for both firm and client.”
