Decision Intelligence for the Built World

From concept to construction, with intelligence.

ArqFlo is the decision-intelligence layer for the built world. AI agents that understand zoning, jurisdiction, and project complexity so your team can move from brief to scheme without the bottleneck.

The problem

Preconstruction decisions are made on incomplete information, and the industry pays for it.

Architects, developers, and GCs spend weeks gathering data that should take hours. Zoning codes, permit history, site constraints, and code compliance are spread across dozens of siloed sources, none of which talk to each other.

Root cause

It's not a people problem. It's an information architecture problem.

The construction industry runs on institutional knowledge passed person-to-person. There is no intelligence layer that aggregates, reasons, and applies that knowledge at scale.

01

Data is siloed

Zoning records, permit history, and code documents live in separate municipal systems with no shared format or API.

02

Expertise is scarce

Experienced preconstruction analysts are expensive and hard to retain. Knowledge walks out the door with every departure.

03

Iteration is manual

Each design change triggers a new compliance review cycle, done by hand, prone to error, with no audit trail.

04

Decisions lack provenance

Teams can't trace why a design constraint was applied. Disputes in construction often originate here.

The solution

A decision-intelligence layer built for the built world.

ArqFlo's AI agents ingest site data, parse jurisdictional codes, and generate compliance-aware schemes, with citation-level provenance at every step. Teams get answers in hours, not weeks, with a full audit trail they can stand behind.

Ingest

Site data, zoning envelopes, and permit history are pulled and structured automatically.

Reason

Specialist agents apply jurisdictional rules, flag constraints, and surface precedent.

Deliver

Compliance-aware schemes with provenance links, ready for design development.

Intelligence pillars

Four layers that make preconstruction defensible.

Each pillar is a distinct capability. Together they form a system that replaces guesswork with grounded intelligence.

Jurisdictional adapters

Purpose-built connectors for municipal zoning databases, building codes, and permit systems across every supported jurisdiction.

Compliance reasoning

Agents that apply zoning envelopes, use tables, and setback rules, then flag conflicts before they reach design development.

Scheme generation

From validated parameters to buildable massing schemes, generated in minutes, with constraints baked in from the start.

Citation-level provenance

Every constraint, every recommendation traces back to a specific code section or data source. Full audit trail by design.

How it works

Five phases, one continuous context.

Every agent shares provenance and writes back to a single project graph. No re-entering data. No lost context between disciplines.

01

Site Intake

Parcel geometry, jurisdiction, zoning district, and constraints resolved from public GIS, uploads, and jurisdictional adapters.

02

Zoning Envelope

FAR, height, setbacks, parking minimums, and use permissions computed against the adopted zoning code with full citations.

03

Code Compliance

IBC occupancy, construction type feasibility, height-area allowances, and special-use triggers, with rule-card-level reasoning.

04

Scheme Generation

Massing options and residential unit schemes generated against the envelope, with sanity-filtered efficiency and yield metrics.

05

Decision-Ready Report

Export a reviewer-ready dossier: provenance chips, citations, disciplinary impacts, and a reversible revision history.

Jurisdictional coverage

Adapters built for real codes.

Each city ships with a curated zoning knowledge base, parcel adapter, and GIS integration. Everything cites back to the governing document.

Roadmap

Where we are and where we're going.

We expand jurisdiction by jurisdiction, deliberately, so the intelligence is right before we scale it.
