Case Study: CRAFT Engineering Studio streamlines detail reuse and knowledge sharing with Pirros

CRAFT Engineering Studio speeds detail reuse across 4 offices with Pirros

CRAFT Engineering Studio, a small but growing structural engineering firm with offices in New York, Denver, Paris, and Athens, faced the challenge of making its institutional knowledge and Revit details searchable and reusable across its geographically dispersed teams. As the firm expanded, its initial Revit template was insufficient for sharing custom details from past projects, creating inefficiencies and hindering collaboration across different time zones and regional construction standards.

The firm implemented Pirros, an AI project hub for architecture and engineering firms, to create a centralized online library. Pirros enabled CRAFT to upload its entire collection of standard and custom details, making them instantly searchable from any browser. The solution dramatically reduced the time engineers spent finding details, allowed for the inclusion of more details in earlier design phases, and facilitated real-time updates to standards. Furthermore, the Pirros library became an unexpected mentorship tool, helping engineers learn and collaborate even when colleagues in other time zones were offline, effectively allowing the small firm to operate with the infrastructure of a much larger one.
