transcosmos and Arent launch Connectix Build Data service

transcosmos and Arent are teaming up to develop Connectix Build, a platform designed to automatically collect, integrate, and make use of construction site data.

The construction industry has been adopting digital tools and AI, like BIM and CIM, but many companies struggle to get real value from them. transcosmos and Arent looked at decades of experience and saw the main problem: digital disconnect. On-site data including drawings, schedules, documents, photos, and chat logs ends up scattered across multiple systems. It stays fragmented, hard to use, and prevents companies from leveraging it effectively. Connectix Build aims to fix this by turning fragmented information into an integrated environment, connecting tools, data, operations, and everyone involved.

The platform combines transcosmos’s expertise in building service platforms for the construction industry with Arent’s know-how in AI-driven product development. This is not just about putting tools in place. Connectix Build drives digital transformation by making data from every process usable, boosting productivity, helping transfer skills to the next generation, and laying the foundation for sustainable growth.

The platform has three main strengths

1. Connect processes

Connectix Build integrates seamlessly with existing tools through APIs, including Arent’s cloud system PROCOLLA and Lightning BIM series. Manual data transfer and import/export work are eliminated. The platform creates consistent workflows, maximizing the value of IT investments and helping companies transform their processes.

2. Connect data

It rebuilds fragmented work processes into connected workflows. Routine reporting is automated, design changes are shared quickly, and inspection records are linked with photos. AI undertakes repetitive work, allowing experts to concentrate on tasks that require their judgment and to verify the data. In this way, on-site managers are liberated from uninteresting work, and their productivity as well as creativity increases.

3. Create a usable knowledgebase

Connectix Build visualizes how experienced engineers think and make decisions based on daily operations. The AI facilitates the movement of skills, the unification of procedures, the formation of best practices, and the conversion of personal expertise into knowledge that the entire organization can access. Moreover, the AI is also capable of risk forecasting and next-step recommendations, thereby providing smart operational support.

Key tools integrated in the platform

PROCOLLA: Arent’s AI-based cloud process management system. It auto-generates work schedules using drawings and past data, allows natural language editing, and supports real-time collaboration.

Lightning BIM series: Software for BIM operations that works as an add-in for Autodesk Revit. It creates an intuitive environment for BIM tasks and reflects Arent’s goal of making BIM easy and widely accessible.

transcosmos and Arent aim to help Japan’s construction industry become more productive, predictable, and profitable. Moreover, the collaboration is aimed at transferring knowledge to the younger generations.

In the future, transcosmos will offer DX services not only in the construction area but also in planning, design, procurement, and maintenance, thus contributing to the larger development of the industry.
