The AI that checks
your mechanical work.

AIM Works reads your whole project and flags what doesn't reconcile — a zone Voz that exceeds the AHU's outside-air design, a sensible load that doesn't square with the supply CFM — before it becomes a red-line or an RFI.

Design Review is the flagship: a deterministic QA pass narrated in plain language — the checks are computed, not guessed, so the AI explains each finding rather than inventing one. It drafts too, and you approve every change; it won't stamp your work or replace your judgment. Office, lab, hospital, data center, district plant — one tool.

Outputs are advisory — a design starting point, not a final design. Every project must be reviewed and stamped by a licensed PE before construction.

Why AIM Works

Your firm's standards.
Your project's shape. One tool.

Most mechanical design software locks you into someone else's workflow — fixed steps, fixed building types, fixed deliverables. AIM Works inverts that. You pick the scope: all 94 mechanical modules in the catalog are live and selectable — every one labeled validated, advisory, or reference, with its method and limitations disclosed. Any combination, your shape. Add or remove whole design phases per project. The AI co-pilot fills in the rest.

What makes it different

Five things no other
MEP tool does

The differentiators built into every project — not bolt-on features.

Adapts to any project shape
94 mechanical modules, all live — load calc, ventilation, hydronics, steam, refrigerant, controls, compliance, deliverables — and every one ships honestly labeled: validated, advisory, or reference, with its method and limitations disclosed. Pick what's in your project. Save it as your firm's template. Reuse on every job. Office, lab, hospital, data center, district plant — same tool.
AI engineering co-pilot
Not a chatbot. Claude has full read/write access to your live project — adds zones, sets design conditions, picks equipment, runs compliance checks. Every change is queued for you to accept or reject. The AI does the work; you stay in control.
From load calc to a coordinated design package
Most competitors stop at the cooling tons. AIM Works carries through to equipment selection per ASHRAE 90.1, hydronic + steam plant sizing, duct + pipe networks, control sequences, and a PDF engineering report with the auto-generated airflow diagram and ISA-5.1-style P&ID schematics embedded — all from the same project state.
Cross-discipline coordination
AI flags inconsistencies across loads, ventilation, equipment, and distribution as you design. Catch issues like "supply CFM doesn't reconcile with zone sensible loads" before they become RFIs. Coordination exports for the EE / PE / structural / architect built-in.
Standards-referenced
Checks your design against ASHRAE 90.1-2022, 62.1-2019, 15-2022, IMC 2021, IFGC 2021, NFPA 90A/B/96/99 — with the citation and a maturity label (validated / advisory / reference) shown inline, so reviewers see what's behind every number and how far to trust it. See methodology →

Built for the engineer doing the work

Other tools assume "office building" or "school." AIM Works doesn't. Whether you specialize in healthcare plants, pharma cleanrooms, district heating, food processing, or just want a load-calc tool that respects your firm's design standards — pick your modules, build your template, run it.

Browser-based. Self-serve signup. Real engineer support — built and supported by a practicing MEP engineer, not a sales team.

How it works

Your project. Your shape.
The AI does the rest.

From "blank project" to a coordinated design package — adapts to whatever you're actually designing.

1
Pick your scope
Describe your project — "28k sf medical office, central CHW + HHW, all VAV reheat, full coordination" — and the AI picks the matching modules from the 94-module catalog. Or build it manually, or start from a worked sample and make it yours in one click. Save the combination as your firm's reusable template.
2
Run the engineering
Loads, ventilation per ASHRAE 62.1, equipment selection per 90.1, duct + pipe networks, plant sizing, control sequences, compliance scoreboards. Inputs flow automatically between modules — no double-entry.
3
Let the AI co-pilot drive
Claude has live read/write access to your project. Tell it "add a 200-ton chiller plant, balance for VAV-1 through VAV-4." Every change is yours to accept or reject — nothing lands in your project without your sign-off.
4
Ship the deliverables
Engineering PDF report with the airflow diagram and P&ID schematics embedded, multi-tab Excel schedule export, AI-generated Basis of Design narrative, equipment + pipe + duct + valve + diffuser schedules, a calc package with the full maturity register, coordination exports for the EE / PE / structural / architect. One project, every artifact.
