Asia Digital Team · What's next

Beyond Harmos.

Harmos is one front. The same digital team is pushing four more — from AI in your pocket to parametric structures, carbon accounting, and a company-wide AI brain.

AI in your pocket

What if engineers could send an AI prompt remotely from their smartphones to run an ETABS model, extract the results, and receive a summary directly via WhatsApp? Not a thought experiment — the demo already works.

WhatsApp → AI agent → ETABS — demo

Structural 3D modelling & parametric design

One centralised neutral model in Rhino / Grasshopper — exported everywhere, coordinated automatically.

Today's workflow

Engineer and BIM modeller each build their own model — duplicated effort, and discrepancies between the two.

Modelling happens inside expensive FEM software that's built for analysis, not modelling — wasted licences.

Coordination runs through PDF markup, with a high chance of missing critical items.

Proposed workflow

The structural model is built once in Rhino as a centralised neutral model, then exported to SAP2000, ETABS, SAFE, Revit and more — one person, one go.

Modelling in Rhino is far faster than in FEM software — and saves FEM licences.

Design changes push back to the central model and highlight what changed in BIM — coordination automated, human error minimised.

Embodied Carbon Calculator

From FEM results to carbon metrics — with nothing counted by hand.

Automated take-off

Automated extraction of FEM results — eliminating manual take-off.

Direct conversion

Quantities converted directly into embodied carbon metrics.

Auditable

Structured, repeatable and fully auditable outputs.

Sustainability-led

A transparent basis for sustainability-led design decisions.

Copilot — a virtual brain for the team

Feed the AI agent technical reports, studies and past project data — and capture the team's expertise as a shared "virtual brain".

Agent

Structural Expert

Trained on structural studies, reports and design codes.

Agent

Geotechnical Expert

Ground knowledge from past projects, on demand.

Agent

Digital Expert

Knows the team's tools, scripts and automations.

Agent

Sustainability Expert

Carbon data and sustainability guidance in one place.

MVP — AI agent over SharePoint

Already running as an MVP. Technical studies, spreadsheets and design codes stored in SharePoint; the Copilot agent queries, summarises, answers questions, and searches drawings across folders — file risk no different from uploading to OneDrive or SharePoint.
Today's challenges

Knowledge scattered across projects and teams; access depends on individual experience; knowledge is lost over time; drawings, studies and tools are hard to locate.

KTP Project Knowledge Hub — future state

A centralised repository of all completed project knowledge — reports, drawings, spreadsheets and scripts — with AI-powered search across all project data, so past solutions are easy to reuse.
