cove revolutionizes the consulting industry by streamlining workflows with its advanced automation and artificial intelligence capabilities. This platform empowers design teams to build smarter, more accurate models in just a fraction of the time it traditionally takes, thus accelerating project wins and significantly reducing design cycles. By automating the decision-making process, cove makes it easier for architects, engineers, and developers to adopt a data-driven approach, integrating seamlessly with popular design software such as Revit, SketchUp, and Rhinoceros.

Highlights of cove:

  1. 3D Visualization Expertise: Our consultants provide extensive visual assessments for daylight, glare, shadow, radiation, view quality, and comprehensive site-context analysis, ensuring optimal design solutions.

  1. Energy Modeling Proficiency: We leverage pre-loaded templates and up-to-date energy codes to streamline energy modeling, delivering accuracy and efficiency in compliance assessments.

  2. Resource Management Solutions: Our team offers specialized tools and expertise for managing indoor and outdoor water use, including stormwater management and cooling tower operations.

  3. Carbon Management Consulting: We help quantify carbon emissions and the embodied carbon of materials, assisting clients in making environmentally responsible decisions.

  4. Cost-Energy Optimization Services: Our strategic analysis balances building costs against energy efficiency gains, providing a clear path to cost-effective and sustainable building practices.

Why cove?

Adapting to increasingly stringent building energy codes and the push towards net zero energy standards has made the traditional building design process inefficient and slow. The industry’s shift from occasional sustainability consultations to requiring them in half of all projects has led to a burgeoning consulting market, yet overwhelmed with demand. cove introduces an intelligent system that blends seamlessly with design teams, enhancing coordination and optimizing information flow, thereby reducing uncertainty and costs.

Our Vision:

We envision a future where buildings are designed through intelligent systems in a symbiotic relationship with human expertise, moving away from intuition-based designs facilitated by disparate, non-communicative software applications. cove aims to transform the architecture, engineering, and construction industries by providing an integrated, data-driven design platform that minimizes the need for extensive manual coordination and simplifies compliance with evolving regulatory standards.

What We Offer:

  • consulting services: Our consulting service enhances project delivery by providing expert, on-demand support. This includes simplified geometry uploads, efficient reporting for 2030 DDx and LEED, and more. By focusing on these consultancy-driven services, cove provides value through direct interaction, expert guidance, and strategic implementation, tailored to each client's unique requirements and challenges in the building design industry.
