Welcome aboard, and happy to discover and share with you the tools that are revolutionizing the world and architecture and construction specifically.

You can also follow me on Linkedin and Youtube where I publish weekly video about AI tools for AEC.

Now let’s start!

If you're unsure how to use Chat-GPT in an architectural project, here are 5 prompts you can try on your projects:

🧱 Choosing between 2 materials

If you're hesitating between two materials, and you want an objective comparison, ideally presented in a table:

✨Prompt: "Can you create a comparison table of the advantages and disadvantages between a brick facade and wooden cladding?"

📤 Analyzing a lengthy email

You're overwhelmed by an endless email thread, and you don't understand what was said and what points need to be addressed:

✨Prompt: "Can you analyze these email exchanges and summarize what they are about, the history of decisions, and the expected actions to move forward on the topic? I will provide you with the text of the exchanges right after this message."

You will need to paste the text of the exchanges right after.

🗺️ Analyzing an aerial photo of the site (With ChatGPT vision)

You've just started a new project, and you want to analyze the site to list the constraints:

Upload the photo.

✨Prompt: "Here is an aerial photo of the site I want to build on, can you tell me the constraints and points to note that you identify in the image."

🪜 Analyzing a plan or section (With ChatGPT vision)

You've just finished a staircase plan, and you would like an external eye to check it in terms of ergonomics, legislation, etc.

Upload the image of the plan or section.

✨Prompt: "Can you analyze the section of the residential building's staircase that I just shared with you and tell me if it complies with legislation and if it is practical to use."

✅ Preparing the list of points for a construction meeting

You have the minutes from the previous meeting, and you want to prepare the agenda for the next one, but you need to filter out what has already been resolved; ask Chat-GPT to do it.

Prompt: "Can you list the points for the next construction meeting, removing the points that have already been resolved, and listing the people who need to be present."

And you, what are your best prompts? The use cases that really explode your productivity? Or which simply weren't possible without ChatGPT?
