AI Project Engineer
From tender pack to 4D construction model.
AIPE reads a civil tender and builds the job as a 4D construction model: every lot, layer, machine and hold point, placed in space and moving through the program.
In active build. Early access for civil contractors as design partners.
The 4D model
The method, animated at true scale.
The scene follows the program week by week. The browser draws it live, and Unreal Engine renders it to film. The plant library is built to manufacturer dimensions, so a lot is the right size and a machine fits the space it is given.
20 t excavator, 07H configuration
Built from published geometry: 15 rigid parts, four hydraulic cylinder pairs and a four-bar bucket linkage that closes through the cycle.

About
Who builds AIPE.
AIPE is developed by Applied Ontologies, which builds software for civil construction. Its sister brand Range AI designs and builds custom AI systems for Australian businesses.
The work is led from Queensland by Tom Lynch.
Design partners
We are working with a small number of civil contractors who tender on state road-authority work. Design partners see AIPE on their own work and shape what gets built next.
Investors and estimators are welcome to get in touch too.
