Frequently asked questions
What is AI consulting for the AEC industry?
- It is help with deciding where artificial intelligence can save time or reduce errors in architecture, engineering and construction work, then putting it in place. CloudBrain assesses your workflows, pilots AI on one of them, scales what works and supports your team afterwards.
Who is CloudBrain for?
- Architecture practices, engineering consultancies, contractors and real estate developers in India who want practical results from AI rather than experiments. Engagements are led from an architect's point of view, so recommendations fit how design and construction teams actually work.
How long does an engagement take?
- It depends on the scope. Every engagement moves through four stages — Assess, Pilot, Scale and Support — and we agree the timeline for each stage before work begins, so you can stop or continue after any stage.
How much does it cost?
- We quote a fixed fee for each stage after a free strategy call, so you commit one stage at a time. The fee depends on the size of your firm and the workflows involved.
How do you handle our data and the DPDP Act?
- We use the minimum data needed, keep it in your own systems wherever possible, and agree in writing which AI services may process it. Every engagement is planned around your obligations under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Do we need to buy aecoviz or aecobuild?
- No. Our consulting is independent of our products. We recommend the tools that suit your firm, which may or may not include aecoviz or aecobuild.
