Episode 130 - Bringing intelligence to the future of construction
The Structural Engineering Podcast
Release Date: 10/21/2026
In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is beginning to change the way buildings are designed, engineered, and permitted. We're joined by Maor Greenberg, co-founder and CEO of Spacial, a company developing AI-powered technology to automate engineering workflows and improve coordination across the building industry. We discuss how AI can help engineers move beyond traditional drawings and disconnected design software toward integrated building models that account for structural behavior, building codes, and other engineering disciplines.
We also explore the challenges of bringing AI into an industry where accuracy, safety, and professional responsibility are essential. From automating repetitive engineering tasks and identifying conflicts between building systems to understanding the role of licensed engineers in an increasingly automated design process, we discuss what this technology can realistically accomplish today and where it might take the profession in the future.
