AIM Works is built by a practicing mechanical engineer who got tired of choosing between $5k/seat enterprise software and 17 spreadsheets per project. AI-native, ASHRAE-compliant, browser-based — for any mechanical project.
AIM Works was built by Stephen Dunker, a practicing mechanical engineer pursuing his PE license. Frustrated by the gap between enterprise MEP software priced for large firms and the spreadsheets most engineers actually rely on, Stephen started building the tool he wished existed: an AI-native design assistant that adapts to any mechanical project — not just office buildings.
The differentiator isn't a feature. It's the architecture. AIM Works is scope-driven: 84 mechanical engineering modules — load calc, ventilation, hydronics, steam, refrigerant, controls, compliance, deliverables — that you assemble into your project's shape. Lab MEP, healthcare plant, district heating, industrial process — same tool, different scope. Build once for your firm. Reuse on every job.
AIM Works is currently sold to individual engineers and small mechanical firms. Multi-seat firm plans, deeper BIM integration, and full project management capabilities are on the roadmap.
AIM Works exists because mechanical engineers shouldn't need to choose between $5,000-per-seat enterprise software and pasting data between 17 spreadsheets. The AEC industry has lagged on tooling for the actual engineer doing the work — AIM Works fills that gap with a real product, real ASHRAE-compliant calculations, and real engineer support.

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.
