TECTIC

Investors

$10 trillion a year is spent on construction-related goods and services. Labor productivity in construction grew 1% a year over two decades (McKinsey, 2017).1

Acribion builds AI agents that read plans, estimate costs, prepare tenders, and show the source of every number. People decide. We start with Swiss architecture offices and build toward everyone who plans, builds, owns, and operates buildings.

Why this market

$10 trillion

spent on construction-related goods and services a year (McKinsey estimate, 2017).1

1% a year

labor-productivity growth in construction over two decades, against 2.8% for the world economy.1

8.5%

of 16,000+ large projects worldwide, across project types, finished on budget and on time.2

CHF 61 billion

construction investment in Switzerland in 2023. We start here, where shared standards (SIA phases, BKP, eBKP-H) make results comparable.3

39 hours of tendering for a CHF 2 million renovation. Excel lists, PDFs, emails, phone calls, all by hand. Shortly after, the client changes the floor plan. Much of the work: wasted.

Why now

Software can now read much of what the industry writes down.

Most of what decides a building’s cost is written down: in plans, specifications, and offers. Until recently, only people could read it, under deadline and rarely in full. Language models can now read much of it, and agents can work through it step by step, with a person approving each decision. That is the change we build on.

The path

One platform, built one block at a time.

    Research

Every block runs on the same foundation. Within an office, every approved decision will become evidence for the next one.

Business model

Software, paid for by the people we work for.

Offices will pay a subscription for TECTIC. We are paid by the people who use our software, never by commissions on the contracts it helps award. Our numbers have no reason to favor anyone.
