Development today is being reshaped by unpredictable markets, labour constraints, and increasing project complexity. Success now depends on teams who can process information quickly, anticipate risk, and execute with data-driven precision.
Join ULI Ottawa from 12 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, December 4, for a high-impact virtual session exploring how next-generation tools are transforming the AEC and development landscape.
Our moderator, Ian Dayagbil, Designer - Data and Computation, Coordinator at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in Chicago, IL, will lead a conversation with three companies at the forefront of AEC innovation: Ratio.City (geospatial analysis and site evaluation), TraceAir (construction site intelligence), and Finch 3D (AI-driven generative design).
Together, they will unpack how emerging technologies are reshaping everything from site selection and policy analysis, to rapid design iteration and performance modelling, to construction execution and real-time field monitoring. Each presenter will share a case study demonstrating how their tools streamline workflows, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen project outcomes.
