When an architect chooses an AI space-planning tool, the question that actually matters isn't how fast it runs. It's who built it, and what they know.

Right now, most of the industry hasn't answered that question. Unanet's 2026 AEC Inspire Report found that 75% of AEC firms are using AI somewhere in their workflow — up roughly 20 points in a year. Only 29% say they have high confidence in the data behind it. Adoption raced ahead of trust, and nobody's closed the gap yet.


The old bottleneck was production. Don't trade it for a new one.

The traditional process took an architect's time to produce each alternative, one plan at a time — not because anyone was doing it wrong, but because no faster option existed yet. That's the real bottleneck qbiq closes now that one does. What it was never the case for is the review itself — the point where an architect checks the work and signs off. That step was always the valuable one, not the slow one.

Swap in an AI tool nobody's vetted, and you don't remove that bottleneck. You just replace it with a new one: rework, when the architect reviewing it can't trust what it's built on.


The right backing

Trust in an AI tool comes down to two things: who's powering it, and how long they've actually done this work.

qbiq's team includes architects, operations leads, and product managers who've worked this exact problem from the inside — not just engineers training a model on floor plans. That's the backing behind every plan qbiq generates. It's also grounded in nearly 800 million sq ft of verified, curated, anonymized design data — real buildings, real outcomes.

Experience first, data second. Both matter, but the first is what the second can't substitute for.

qbiq is THE Space Intelligence platform — starting with AI space planning. Space Intelligence is the backing; AI space planning is what you feel first.


The gap won't stay open

75% adoption, 29% confidence — that gap closes for whoever proves their backing first, not whoever moves fastest. And we're not done making our case faster to prove, either. 24 hours has been the benchmark. It won't be much longer.
