Finch
What it is
Finch is an AI-native building design platform for teams generating building designs, exploring options with real-time data, and delivering projects. Its Plan Library uses past projects, firm knowledge, accessibility rules, local codes, and constraints as inputs for design generation. The platform creates floor plans, area calculations, and BIM geometry, and exports BIM models to traditional BIM tools. Archie, Finch’s AI agent, handles repetitive precision work such as door placement, compliance checks, and updates across linked units. Finch documents workflows with Rhino, Revit, Grasshopper, and Autodesk Forma. Its FAQ lists Rhino 8, Rhino 7.24+, Rhino 6 SR35+, Grasshopper, Revit 2023–2027, and Forma as supported, while MicroStation and SketchUp are not supported. Generative tools work with multifamily residential; other programs are supported by massing tools only. AI unit-plan generation is currently available only to strategic AI customers. Free is for one user; Basic is also for one user and costs €79.00 per month, billed monthly, with a 14-day free trial. Enterprise starts at €14500.00 per year, billed annually, for three seats.
