Zutec has embedded an AI layer into its Building Document Management (BDM) solution, enabling asset owners to unlock “instant, reliable insights and accurate answers” from the information they already hold in BDM.
Building AI – Powered by Zutec, currently in beta, is Zutec’s first AI-enabled solution. It is designed specifically for the realities of building data and asset management, allowing users to search for documents, search within a document or search for information across an asset register/building. Every response is:
- grounded in validated documents, unique to each customer’s building;
- fully cited and audit-ready; and
- generated entirely within Zutec’s secure platform, with data never leaving the governed environment.
For example, by asking “what is the warranty on the lift in Building B?” or “list all architectural drawings”, users get answers in seconds, alongside the source and document where the information is held.
As asset owners expand their portfolios, they can specify Zutec digital handover to contractors for new developments so building information is added to Building AI from the outset of operation, or migrate existing buildings into the solution, enabling a single source of truth to support the golden thread.
Emily Hopson-Hill, managing director and chief strategy and operations officer at Zutec, said: “With this solution, we’ve focused on immediate, practical value, providing AI specifically built and trained on building data to support decision-making, maintenance, compliance, safety and overall day-to-day operations.
“By providing instant access to information normally buried deep within documents, we can help asset owners manage complex property portfolios while significantly increasing productivity and reducing risk.”
