Customer Introduction

A Top Indian architecture firm that designs hotels, campuses, adaptive-reuse projects, workplaces, and retail spaces with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation.

Problem

The organization faced critical inefficiencies in how design knowledge was stored, retrieved, and reused:

  • Scattered Knowledge Repositories: Design drawings, municipal bylaws, and project guidelines were spread across shared drives with no structured organization or search capability. New team members found it difficult to access past work, leading to delays and duplicated efforts.
  • No Intelligent Search: Without metadata tagging or full-text search, architects spent hours manually sifting through folders to find vendor specifications or precedent studies. This eroded daily productivity and created frustration among senior design staff.
  • Loss of Collaboration Insights: Valuable project learnings and rationale were buried deep in meeting notes and email threads. As a result, teams repeatedly asked the same questions about vendor pricing, regulatory codes, and design decisions, slowing down future project cycles.

The firm turned to BHyve to capture, structure, and retrieve 23 years of design knowledge enabling faster onboarding, better reuse, and preserving their creative legacy.

Solution

  • Centralised Knowledge Base: Migrated drawings, bylaws, government codes, past project decks, vendor contacts, and design guidelines into BHyve.
  • AI-Powered Search: Staff ask a question and BHyve AI returns a precise answer plus source files in seconds.
  • Smart Tagging & Structure: Custom tags for project type, region, material, and design types, enabling context-rich results instantly.

Results

  • 100 % Historic Design Capture - The firm’s full legacy preserved.
  • 90% Success Rate: The first AI answer links to the correct asset nine times out of ten.
  • Shorter Onboarding cycle for Junior Architects and team members with ready AI powered information available through BHyve.

Conclusion

By converting dispersed files into an AI-searchable knowledge base, BHyve safeguards the firm’s design legacy and accelerates every new project’s delivery.
