AI-Embedded Analysis & Design
Ultima’s latest approach integrates element-based AI into BIM-led engineering workflows, connecting design intelligence directly to individual structural and building elements.
Our approach
Working within ISO 19650-aligned information management principles, our approach brings together coordinated BIM data, engineering analysis, constructability information and fabrication-ready modelling within a connected digital environment.
Rather than treating BIM as a standalone 3D model, Ultima develops information-rich models that can support the wider asset lifecycle — from design and analysis through coordination, quantity and cost information, construction planning, fabrication and asset data.
By embedding AI-assisted checking and data interpretation at element level, we aim to identify inconsistencies earlier, automate repetitive engineering tasks and create a more direct connection between engineering intent, BIM information and fabrication modelling.
From intelligent elements to buildable information.
