For building product manufacturers
Manufacturer information, at the point of detailing
We are building tools that help architects draw construction details. We would like to work out, with manufacturers, how product information could appear in those details: where it applies, with its evidence, while the detail is still being decided.
The concept, in 46 seconds
Read the narration
Every construction detail brings together geometry, performance requirements and technical information.
ArchResolved is developing a new approach to detailing, connecting construction geometry, technical knowledge and design requirements.
Now imagine manufacturer systems becoming relevant within the detail itself — matched to its requirements, with their technical evidence alongside.
A selected system could then be carried into a coordinated construction detail — its information attached, and every outstanding check still visible.
For manufacturers, that is an opportunity to connect product knowledge with architects as specification decisions take shape.
ArchResolved. Bringing construction intelligence into architectural detailing.
Proposed workflow
From a construction junction to relevant systems
- 01
The junction
An architect works on a construction junction: the constructions that meet, their layers and the conditions at the meeting.
- 02
Its requirements
What the junction has to do is set out: continuity of insulation, air and moisture control, support, fire, and what is still to be confirmed.
- 03
Relevant systems
Manufacturer systems that address those requirements could be shown at that point, each with its technical information and its source.
- 04
A coordinated detail
A system the architect selects could be carried into the detail, its information attached and every outstanding check still visible.
For manufacturers
What it could offer
Product discovery
Systems found where they apply, at the junction they serve, rather than by a separate search.
Technical information
Your technical information kept with its source, edition and conditions, beside the detail it informs.
Specification opportunities
A route into the detail itself, where specification decisions take shape.
Early design engagement
Contact with architects while the detail is being resolved, not after it is drawn.
Today, and what is proposed
What ArchResolved does today
- Drawing to CAD: opens an architectural drawing in the browser and exports editable, layered CAD.
- Construction-detail tools, in development: drawing a junction from the constructions that meet, with anything unresolved stated rather than assumed.
- Manufacturer information is not yet part of any public ArchResolved output.
What manufacturer integration is proposed to do
- Manufacturer systems offered where a junction’s requirements match them.
- Technical evidence held with its source, edition, jurisdiction and conditions, and reviewed before it informs a detail.
- Product information carried into coordinated details, attributed and kept separate from the architect’s decisions.
- All of this is proposed and in development; none of it is live.
Collaboration
Talk to us
We would like to speak with manufacturers who want to help shape how product information reaches architectural detailing. Tell us about your systems and the junctions they serve.
- Your information is used only with your agreement and its rights established.
- Nothing is published as yours, or as approved, without your review.
Disclosures
- The concept film is an illustrative product vision; its features and integrations are subject to development. The construction details it shows are illustrative, hand-modelled examples, have not undergone project-specific technical approval, and are not construction details generated by the current live ArchResolved product.
- Manufacturer integration is proposed and in development. ArchResolved has no live manufacturer integration, and nothing here implies that any manufacturer works with or supports ArchResolved.
- No manufacturer’s products, drawings or wording appear on this page.
