# Peakarc

*/Startups/Peakarc*

## Startup Overview

This computational engine reconciles structural clashes in composite building information models. It ingests merged architectural, mechanical, and structural files to analyze geometric intersections and spatial routing conflicts. Instead of merely flagging a duct running through a load-bearing beam, the system calculates the optimal offset and directly repositions the overlapping elements to clear the interference while preserving the original design intent.

Virtual Design and Construction teams and structural engineers routinely lose weeks to manual clash coordination. The standard workflow forces disciplines to exchange models repeatedly, dragging project schedules into weekly coordination meetings just to negotiate the rerouting of conduit or plumbing. This software eliminates the friction of continuous model revisions and cross-discipline negotiations.

Incumbent coordination tools like Navisworks and Revizto operate as passive visualization environments, highlighting spatial conflicts but leaving the actual resolution to human engineers. This alternative delivers fully automated clash reconciliation, executing the spatial corrections without manual drafting. By tying cost directly to utility, the system is priced strictly per resolved clash, eliminating rigid software licensing in favor of a pure pay-for-correction model.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting commercial contractors to reduce weekly BIM coordination meeting time by 60%.
- Aiming to automatically resolve 80% of routine MEP-structural clashes in hospital floorplans.
- Projecting a 40% reduction in RFIs during structural framing for pilot users.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Reconciliation · Price: ~$12–$18 per resolved clash · Inclusions: Automated resolution of standard MEP-vs-structural clashes using predefined routing algorithms and standard clearance rules.
- Name: Complex Coordination · Price: ~$25–$40 per resolved clash · Inclusions: Resolution of multi-trade clashes requiring custom routing constraints, dynamic clearance thresholds, and intended write-back to Revit.
- Name: Enterprise Volume · Price: ~$7–$10 per resolved clash · Inclusions: High-volume processing for large commercial projects with a minimum commitment of 5,000 clashes, including custom rule mapping.
**Guarantee**: If an automated resolution introduces a new secondary clash or violates user-defined clearance parameters, Peakarc refunds the transaction fee for that clash and automatically flags the node for manual review.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Automated resolutions might violate structural integrity. Rebuttal: Peakarc is designed to only adjust non-load-bearing MEP routes or propose pre-approved penetration sleeves.
- Objection: We already use Navisworks for clash detection. Rebuttal: Navisworks detects clashes but requires manual fixing; Peakarc calculates and outputs the geometric fix.
- Objection: Usage-based pricing makes budgeting fixed-fee projects difficult. Rebuttal: We intend to offer pre-flight model analysis to estimate clash volume and cap costs upfront.
- Objection: Our custom Revit families won't be recognized. Rebuttal: The system is designed with a mapping engine to standardize custom parameters before running reconciliation.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Peakarc → BIM Coordinator → General Contractor
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) teams through a free initial model scan that identifies structural clashes, then expands revenue via a usage-based model that charges specifically for each clash the system automatically resolves.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to publish its resolution endpoints in the OpenAI tool registry and emerging generative-AEC API directories, allowing autonomous architectural drafting agents to automatically validate structural models and trigger paid clash resolutions during the design phase.
**Primary Channel**: Discovery intended via listing in the Autodesk App Store where BIM coordinators actively search for Revit add-ins and Navisworks alternatives to handle clash detection.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A four-week parallel run on a hospital floorplan to process 5,000 standard clashes, aiming to prove the system handles enterprise volume while generating accurate write-backs to Revit.
- A two-week isolated test on a mid-rise structural model to benchmark the complex coordination tier, targeting successful resolution of multi-trade clashes without adjusting load-bearing structural elements.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 60 percent reduction in weekly BIM coordination meeting hours per project.
- Aim: 80 percent automated resolution rate for routine MEP-versus-structural clashes.
- Target: 40 percent decrease in framing-stage RFIs submitted by field teams.
- Aim: 0 secondary clashes introduced during automated MEP rerouting.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A regional commercial general contractor processing a mid-rise office tower. The target transformation is shifting from 15-hour weekly manual coordination meetings to reviewing Peakarc automated geometric fixes, aiming to cut coordination time by 60 percent.
- An enterprise mechanical subcontractor working on a large-scale hospital project. The target transformation is automatically routing non-load-bearing HVAC and plumbing lines around structural elements, aiming to resolve 80 percent of routine clashes without manual Navisworks intervention.
- A multi-state structural engineering firm adopting usage-based complex coordination for multi-trade clashes. The target transformation is reducing Request For Information volume during the structural framing phase by 40 percent through early automated resolution.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Virtual Design and Construction Manager expressing relief that the software calculates the actual geometric fix for the MEP routing instead of just highlighting a clash sphere.
- Lead Mechanical Coordinator validating that custom Revit families map correctly into the system and route without violating user-defined clearance thresholds.
- Project Executive confirming that the pre-flight model analysis accurately estimates clash volume, enabling accurate upfront budgeting for usage-metered reconciliation.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Automated clash resolutions produce structurally unsound changes that lead to catastrophic construction errors and massive liability. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Major BIM ecosystem players like Autodesk lock down their APIs or alter proprietary file formats, breaking the automated ingestion pipeline. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: General contractors reject the variable pay-per-resolved-clash pricing model in favor of predictable fixed-cost software subscriptions. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: low · Description: Incumbents like Revizto or Navisworks introduce basic auto-reconciliation features that reduce the perceived need for a standalone tool. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
