Cut Through the Noise.
Get the Full Picture.
AEC technology is evolving faster than any one person can track. New tools launch weekly. Startups raise hundreds of millions. Standards shift. Giants acquire. And through it all, the people building things are drowning in vendor pitches, trade show hype, and contradictory advice. AECO.digital exists to solve that problem.
Too Much Noise
Vendors claim their tools are revolutionary. VC blogs predict the future. News cycles move faster than you can evaluate. No reliable filter exists — until now.
Fragmented Information
Funding news here. Product reviews there. Standards updates somewhere else. No one connects the dots. You can’t see how a new startup fits your tech stack.
Vendor Bias
Most platforms evaluating tools are funded by vendors or shaped by commercial partnerships. True independence is rare. You never know if a recommendation is genuine — or paid.
Four Questions. One Platform.
Every technology decision in AEC comes down to the same four questions. We built AECO.digital to answer all of them.
Which Tools Actually Work?
We stress-test software in real-world sandboxes. Our audits are independent, transparent, and fully published — methodology, scoring criteria, and limitations included. Not just the verdict.
Where Is Innovation Happening?
We track 800+ emerging startups and map where venture capital is flowing. Understand which companies and technologies are shaping the industry’s future before they become mainstream news.
How Do I Actually Implement This?
We don’t just report trends — we write playbooks. Step-by-step implementation guides with real timelines, real costs, and honest assessments of deploying tools in a live AEC environment.
Where Does This Fit in My Stack?
We track industry giants, standards evolution, and global policy. Understand how new tools integrate with Autodesk, Procore, and ISO standards — and how today’s acquisitions reshape tomorrow.
The Architecture of Our Intelligence
Everything on AECO.digital is organized around four distinct intelligence pillars — each with a focused mission, a rigorous methodology, and a clear purpose in your decision-making toolkit.
The Vetting Lab
“Neutralizing the Innovation Tax.”
The Engine Room
“Engineering the Industry’s Connectivity.”
Intelligence
“Bridging the Gap Between Demo and Reality.”
The Ecosystem
“Navigating the Macro Landscape.”
We Show Our Work. Every Time.
Independent doesn’t just mean we’re not on a vendor’s payroll. It means we disclose every relationship, publish every methodology, and stand behind every verdict — even when it’s inconvenient. Think Consumer Reports for AEC technology.
- All audits use a published, vendor-blind scoring methodology
- Commercial partnerships are fully disclosed on every relevant page
- Tool scores are never modified in exchange for business relationships
- Startup data is sourced from public records and direct reporting
- Editorial decisions are made independently from business development
- Audit criteria and limitations are published alongside every verdict
How We Think. How We Work.
Independence
Not funded by vendors. Our recommendations are ours alone. We disclose conflicts, publish methodology, and stand behind every audit — without exception.
Rigor
Opinions don’t scale. We audit systematically, validate data, and measure real outcomes. You get evidence-based conclusions — not hype dressed up as analysis.
Actionability
Reading should lead to doing. Every piece of content is built to drive decisions. Playbooks, not think pieces. Implementation guides, not trend reports.
Clarity
We write for smart people in a hurry. Every audit, briefing, and guide is distilled to its essentials. No jargon. No filler. Just the signal that changes decisions.
Connectivity
Insights are more powerful when connected. Tools → Funding → Playbooks → Standards. One integrated system. A complete picture. Smarter decisions, faster.
Transparency
We show our work. Audit criteria are public. Partnerships are disclosed. You know exactly how we reach every conclusion — and what our limitations are.
Whether you’re a practitioner, investor, or builder — clear, independent intelligence about what’s changing makes the difference. We’re building that system.
