BE:AI gives every professional practice working in the built environment a single AI-powered workspace — from initial research to stage-specific documents, across every discipline, from Stage 0 through to Stage 3.
Every practice in the built environment faces the same four failure points — regardless of discipline, project type, or size.
Site data, planning history, heritage records, policy frameworks — sourced from multiple disconnected systems with no standardisation, for every new instruction.
Heritage statements, planning statements, structural reports, cost plans — the same structure every time, rewritten almost entirely from scratch per instruction.
At Stages 2 and 3, multiple consultants produce outputs that should reference each other — but rarely do. There is no shared workspace.
Fee proposals, appointments, invoices — every practice manages these manually in parallel with technical work, every time, for every project.
BE:AI maps onto the RIBA Plan of Work — the industry's universal project framework. Input a project, and the platform assembles everything your discipline needs at that stage.
Enter the site address, select your discipline and RIBA stage, and specify the instruction type. BE:AI understands what each discipline needs at each stage of the Plan of Work.
Planning history, local plan policies, NPPF paragraphs, heritage designations, environmental constraints, recent appeal decisions — structured into a project brief, ready to work from.
A structured professional document produced to the standard appropriate for the RIBA stage — not a blank template, but a populated first draft built from the project's actual constraints and policy context.
Each capability targets a specific, recurring failure point in how built environment practices operate today.
All relevant site, policy, asset and context data drawn from planning portals, Historic England, OS, local plans, NLS maps and cost indices — assembled into a single structured project brief at the point of instruction.
A first-draft professional document calibrated to the RIBA stage, the project type and the specific regulatory context. Not a generic template — a document that reflects the actual project constraints.
Document content cross-referenced against current national and local policy. Where guidance has changed since the last instruction of this type, BE:AI flags it and ensures all policy references are accurate.
Where multiple consultants work on the same project within the platform, BE:AI ensures outputs reference each other correctly — no contradictions between a heritage statement and a planning statement.
Fee proposals, memoranda of appointment and invoices generated from project data, calibrated to the discipline, stage and instruction type. Administration no longer runs manually alongside technical work.
Research that took half a day now takes minutes — site history, planning records, policy framework, heritage designations — assembled automatically when a project is opened.
Documents are consistent across the practice. The same project in the hands of two different fee earners produces outputs to the same standard, every time.
Take on more work without a proportional increase in headcount or hours. The platform absorbs the mechanical work so your team can focus on the work only they can do.
We're building BE:AI with early input from practices across the built environment. If you'd like to follow our progress or be among the first to know when we launch, we'd love to hear from you.
