Design

The gap between architectural design and mechanical system planning has long been a bottleneck in construction. Architects finish floor plans, only to wait days or weeks for HVAC designs to catch up. But what if that transition could happen in minutes — or even seconds? CAM Building makes this a reality. Here’s how it transforms one of construction’s slowest steps into one of its fastest. ...

Canada is building at record pace to meet housing and commercial demand. But in the race to build faster, critical components like mechanical system design are being rushed — or worse, overlooked. The result? Buildings that underperform, cost more to operate, and miss their sustainability potential. In this article, we explore how speed without intelligence is hurting the industry, and what smarter design can fix. ...

They work on the same buildings. They sit at the same project tables. But too often, architects and engineers find themselves misaligned — and it costs everyone time, money, and energy performance. In this article, we explore the root causes of the disconnect between design and mechanical teams, and how platforms like CAM Building can help bridge the gap. ...

Mechanical system design doesn’t have to be a bottleneck. Yet in most construction projects, HVAC design is still a manual, time-consuming, and coordination-heavy process. This article explores how automation, especially AI-powered tools like CAM Building, can radically improve how HVAC systems are designed, reviewed, and approved. ...
