Augmenta, a leader in autonomous design for the built environment, has secured an additional $10 million USD in seed funding led by Prelude Ventures, with participation from Montage Ventures. This brings Augmenta’s total funding to $25.6 million USD, reinforcing its mission to revolutionize building design through generative AI.

The new funding will support the expansion of Augmenta’s AI-powered Electrical System Design (ESD) agent, accelerate the development of Mechanical and Plumbing agents, and grow the company’s sales and support teams.

CEO Francesco Iorio emphasized that this investment is about more than just advancing technology:

“We’re building a future where sustainable and efficient building design is the default, regardless of a project’s budget or purpose.”

By automating building design, Augmenta enables the construction industry to reduce costs, minimize risks, and improve project efficiency.

Augmenta’s AI platform addresses a long-standing challenge in the construction industry: the slow adoption of advanced technologies. Its autonomous design solutions eliminate errors, reduce rework, and optimize designs for sustainability and cost-effectiveness. This results in substantial time and cost savings for contractors, engineers, and real estate developers.

Matt Eggers, Managing Director at Prelude Ventures, highlighted Augmenta’s potential to transform construction:

“Their AI-driven approach will redefine industry standards—making buildings greener, faster, and more affordable. We’re investing in a future where efficient buildings are designed and built rapidly, with zero waste.”

This funding follows Augmenta’s recent partnership with ENG, a global leader in Building Information Modeling (BIM). Together, Augmenta and ENG are automating electrical design modeling for subcontractors, further integrating AI into construction workflows.

With $25.6 million in total funding, Augmenta is poised to lead AI adoption in the construction industry, making automated, efficient, and sustainable building design the new standard. The latest investment will accelerate AI-driven innovation, expand product offerings, and drive industry-wide transformation.
