A new generation of platforms aims to rationalize the entire real estate development cycle, from design to final delivery.
In the construction industry, each project involves a succession of stakeholders, software and technical phases that make the process long, expensive and subject to the unexpected. It is this fragmentation that the promise of “Design to delivery” automated intends to resolve to unify all stages, from the initial plan to handing over the keys, within a single platform piloted by data.
The concept, still unusual in Europe, is now deployed in the world of proptechwith actors like the startup Lynxcraft. Between the United Kingdom and Slovenia, the company has just raised a tour PRE-SEED SUSSISR with strategic investors, including BTC DDmajor player in Slovenian commercial real estate, Avto Krka Group And IMARI Holdings LtdCypriot company specializing in real estate and technology.
Automate the entire real estate value chain
In the classic model, a real estate project successively mobilizes architects, design offices, suppliers, project managers and site teams, each working on distinct tools, with files, plans and deadlines that do not always communicate with each other. Result, little visibility for the investor, risks of additional costs, and deadlines that are difficult to control.
THE Design to Delivery offers an alternative of Centralize, automate and standardize Each stage of the project through a unique platform. Concretely, this means:
- Design the building with preconfigured blocksas in a catalog of industrial parts.
- Automatically generate regulatory documents (Plans, license, estimates).
- Connect good suppliers and providers via an integrated ecosystem.
- Follow the execution of the site in real time, with alerts, consolidated data and predictive scenarios.
Lynxcraft offers this model via its cloud platform LYNXdesigned specifically for real estate investorsa target often neglected by the tools of the sector. The approach is based on a technology known as algorithmic constructionwhich structures projects from a limited number of standardized elements, in connection with a network of technical partners.
A pilot project to validate the approach
To validate the relevance of this automated channel, the startup has carried out several experiments, including the design of a 4 -star hotel in the Soča valleyin Slovenia. The project made it possible to test modular logic, automated coordination with local providers and the simplification of monitoring.
According to Marko HozjanCEO of lynxcraft, the objective is not to replace the existing professions but to give them a common infrastructure, capable of Reduce time, costs and errors. “We want to provide investors with the means to have a clear and continuous vision of their projects, without depending on fragmented tools or endless e-mail channels,” he said.
An emerging trend in European proptech
The design to delivery automated is only in its infancy on the continent. It is inspired by practices seen in the manufacturing industry or logistics, but is still marginal in the construction industry. Actors like Hypar,, Testfit Or Build experience similar approaches to the United States. In Europe, Lynxcraft is one of the first initiatives to aim for complete end -to -end integration, with a logic turned towards investors and not only technical operators.
Beyond technology, it is also a Change of project culture that is played. By unifying flows, standardizing the components, opening access to data, these platforms lay the basics of a new way of building, faster, more predictable, more measurable.
