Presently, within the AI market, there is an increased focus on

generative AI and large language modelling, which are driven by

rule-based analysis, as exemplified by innovations OpenSite+. Such

advanced tools can even analyse public policies in a specific area

and determine construction possibilities, such as whether a car park

can be constructed in a particular location. It can also analyse policy

documents, provide engineering design recommendations and

references.

organizations to perform specific tasks. For instance, in reactive

design processes, engineers might have to create and repeatedly

alter designs. This process can be automated through AI agents, so
