AIM Works exists to give mechanical engineers the whole design process in one place — loads, ventilation, hydronics, equipment, compliance, deliverables — with an AI co-pilot that drafts and an engineer who reviews and stamps.
The industry has good calculation engines — HAP, TRACE, IES. They answer "what's the load?" and answer it well. But the actual design process — scoping the project, running loads and ventilation, sizing hydronics, selecting equipment, checking code, coordinating with the other trades, assembling deliverables — never got software of its own. Engineers stitch it together by hand, in spreadsheets, on every single project.
AIM Works was built to close that gap. It's a scope-driven, AI-assisted workflow engine for mechanical design: describe your project, and it assembles an adaptable project template — calc engines, code compliance scoreboards (ASHRAE 90.1 and 62.1, IMC, IFGC, NFPA — advisory), coordination QA, and deliverables in one place. All 94 catalog modules are live — every one labeled validated, advisory, or reference, with its method and limitations disclosed. Lab MEP, healthcare plant, district heating, industrial process — same tool, different scope.
The division of labor is deliberate. The AI co-pilot drafts — zones, scope, calculations, schedules. The engineer reviews every change, applies judgment, and stamps the result. Every check is advisory: a documented starting point, never a substitute for engineering review.
AIM Works is built by a practicing mechanical engineer who did that stitching for years. That's the origin story — and the whole of it.
Three problems that slow engineers down on every project.
The tools most engineers use were built decades ago. They weren't designed for the pace or complexity of modern MEP projects — and the learning curve alone costs hours per project.
Ask 10 engineers to size the same system and you'll get 10 different methods — different spreadsheets, different assumptions, different results. There's no single source of truth.
Junior engineers lack the project intuition to see what's missing. Without that context, things fall through the cracks — leading to RFIs, delays, and costly redesigns.
Give every mechanical engineer — from first-year to principal — a reliable, intelligent platform that standardizes the design process, surfaces what matters, and gets projects to a confident answer faster. Better tools mean better buildings.
