According to the UN (United Nations), more than 90% of future population growth will happen in cities. In addition, the construction industry is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions.

Our tool represents a new generation of software tools enabling this change. We are building software to help architects, urban planners, and real estate developers find the smartest and most sustainable ways to unlock the potential of their projects.

Our journey started as the Norwegian start-up Spacemaker. We were acquired by Autodesk in 2020, and together we are building the next generation cloud-based, connected platform for the AEC industry.
