"The future of building design is on the cloud. File-based design systems are becoming obsolete."

In today's episode of the Future of Design Series from the Bricks and Bytes podcast, we had Altaf from Snaptrude who shared fascinating insights about the evolution of design software in architecture and construction.

Tune in to find out about:

✅ Why cloud-based design tools are 10x faster than traditional file-based systems

✅ How data connectivity is transforming early-stage design workflows

✅ Why architects are wasting billable hours on rework and value engineering

✅ The coming inflection point for cloud-based design tools (predicted mid-to-late next year)

Altaf also revealed they're working on AI copilots that will revolutionize how architects make design decisions based on sustainability data. Don't miss this conversation about the tools that will shape our built environment.
