Value proposition

Reduces engineering time by up to 90% through automated MEP calculations, space optimization, plant room design, and document generation, freeing human experts to focus on innovation and oversight.

Products and solutions

["The Autonomous Engineer - Core AI Platform","Space Analysis and Unit Optimization Engine","Automated MEP Load Calculations System","Level 3 Building Information Modeling (BIM)","Plant Room and Systems Layout Optimization","Automated Report Generation and Tender Document Processing","Risk Analysis and O&M Documentation Tools"]

Unique value

Combines domain-specific mathematical optimization models with AI agents to create an 'Autonomous Engineer' that performs substantive engineering tasks rather than just design assistance, achieving claimed 90% automation of routine engineering work.

Target customer

Real estate developers, building owners, engineering consultants, and multidisciplinary design teams working on building projects

Industries served

["Real Estate Development","Building Engineering and Construction","Property Technology (PropTech)","Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC)","Infrastructure Development"]

Technology advantage

Built proprietary math models that AECOM described as potentially 'putting them out of business' - deeply codifies engineering know-how, constraints, and optimization strategies into scalable software rather than relying on generic AI tools.

How they differentiate

AI-driven engineering automation focused on full interdisciplinary MEP design, clash-free BIM models, and tender-ready documentation - positioning as 'The Autonomous Engineer' rather than just design optimization

Main competitors

["TestFit","Archistar","Maket"]

Key partnerships

["AECOM - strategic collaboration and pilot projects before acquisition","Real estate developers and building owners (unnamed clients)","Engineering consultants using platform for live projects"]

Notable customers

["AECOM (strategic partner and acquirer)","StreamBIM ecosystem"]

Major milestones

["2020: Company founded in Norway by Janne Aas-Jakobsen","2020-2024: Development of Autonomous Engineer platform","2025: Integration with StreamBIM ecosystem presented at Stockholm event","Nov 2025: Acquisition by AECOM for $390M"]

Growth metrics

Claims up to 90% reduction in engineering time and 20% reduction in material use

Market positioning

AI-native engineering automation platform targeting real estate developers and contractors with proprietary 'Autonomous Engineer' technology

Geographic focus

Europe (Norway-based) with global reach through AECOM acquisition

Patents and IP

No registered patents publicly disclosed; appears to rely primarily on trade-secret software IP and proprietary mathematical models for competitive advantage

About Janne Aas-Jakobsen

Founder and CEO of Consigli since 2020. Previously had a long career at Aas-Jakobsen, a leading Norwegian engineering consultancy, where she was both owner and structural engineer. Following AECOM's acquisition of Consigli, she will assume the role of Head of AI Engineering at AECOM.
