Curated for Architecture Practice

Architecture AI Tools

We select and implement the right 3–5 tools for your firm

There are over 200 AI tools relevant to architecture practice — and your firm doesn't need most of them. We evaluate the landscape against your specific workflows, project types, and team capabilities, then recommend and implement a curated stack. For Shelden's mix of education, healthcare, worship, hospitality, and residential projects, we'd focus on tools that deliver the fastest ROI: proposal writing, visualization, code compliance research, specification assistance, and marketing content. We handle setup, integration with your existing tools like Procore, and team training on each platform.

  • Tool landscape evaluation against your specific workflows
  • Setup, configuration, and integration with existing platforms
  • Custom prompt libraries for your project types
  • Ongoing tool optimization as AI capabilities evolve
