Data-driven decisions — in how you design, and how you run.
MAI turns simulation, computational design and data into decisions — from solar and daylight to CFD, space syntax and the platforms that run your practice.
One consultancy, two arms
We're a data-driven consultant — for architects, engineers and owners.
Data-driven consulting
One throughline: we bring the right data to the moment you decide — and build whatever software that takes.
Production — architectural design
Solar, daylight, energy, CFD and computational studies that sharpen the design while it can still change.
Operation — business data
Data platforms, ERP integration and document automation — timesheets, invoicing, expenses — so the practice runs on facts.
Services
Production and operation, both data-driven
Not engineering confirmation — architectural feedback that changes the drawing while it still can.
Solar & daylight simulation
Solar radiation and daylight studies that show where a design earns or loses comfort and energy.
- Annual daylight (sDA, ASE, UDI)
- Solar radiation & shading design
- Glare and visual comfort
Energy & CFD simulation
Indoor and outdoor airflow plus energy modelling to test comfort and load before it's built.
- Outdoor wind & pedestrian comfort
- Indoor natural ventilation (CFD)
- Whole-building energy modelling
Computational & parametric design
Parametric models that let a design team explore hundreds of options against real criteria.
- Parametric geometry systems
- Multi-objective optimisation
- Design-space exploration
Performative analysis
View, space-syntax and bespoke analyses that quantify how a plan will actually be used.
- View & sightline analysis
- Space syntax (integration, choice)
- Bespoke analysis logic
Data platform & ERP integration
We connect your systems and bring scattered data into one place, so the practice runs on facts — not guesswork.
- Unify data across your tools
- ERP & accounting integration
- Live operational dashboards
Workflow & document automation
Automate the back-office grind — timesheets, invoices and expense documents — so your team spends time on the work that matters.
- Timesheet & resourcing capture
- Automated invoice generation
- Expense tracking & PDF documents
