Spacial provides an AI-powered platform that automates residential engineering and permitting by turning 2D drawings into code-compliant 3D plans.
About Spacial: At Spacial, we’re redefining how the built world gets designed, engineered, and approved. With decades of combined experience across architecture, engineering, and construction, we’ve felt the industry’s pain points firsthand — slow approvals, endless redlines, and unclear requirements that derail even the best designs. We built Spacial to fix that. Our AI-powered platform automates structural and MEP engineering, transforming 2D plans into permit-ready, code-compliant drawings in days, not months. This isn’t just optimization. It’s a new standard built to give the AEC industry speed, clarity, and control from day one. By connecting architects, engineers, builders, and homeowners on a single platform, Spacial eliminates friction, streamlines approvals, and accelerates how ideas become reality.
