Overview

Snaptrude brings building information modelling into the browser and adds AI agents across the early design stages architects usually handle with a mixture of sketching, spreadsheets and manual checking. Zoning analysis, site analysis, massing and floor plan generation are each handled by a dedicated agent rather than one general assistant.

The structural claim is continuity from concept to BIM. Conventional practice treats early conceptual design and BIM documentation as separate phases in separate tools, so intent gets rebuilt at the transition and information is lost. One connected model from brief through to BIM-ready output removes that rebuild.

Being browser-based is significant in a field dominated by heavy desktop software with substantial licence and hardware requirements. Collaboration becomes straightforward, though practices with deep Revit workflows should test interoperability carefully before committing.

Key features

  • Ten specialised AI agents covering zoning, site analysis, massing and floor plans
  • Continuous model from concept brief through to BIM-ready output
  • Runs entirely in the browser with no heavy desktop installation
  • Real-time collaboration on a shared model
  • Free tier for evaluating on a real project
