Revolutionizing Construction: Aichitect Secures £300k Pre-Seed Funding
On April 24, 2025, in the heart of London, Aichitect—a pioneering AI-powered platform crafted by an architect—announced the successful close of its pre-seed funding round, raising £300k. This funding, spearheaded by SFC Capital, is set to propel Aichitect into the limelight as it redefines the construction and development landscape. With a mission to streamline architecture processes, Aichitect harnesses the power of AI to enhance efficiency and cut down analysis times from weeks to mere minutes, freeing up crucial resources for startups, investors, and professionals alike.
Under the leadership of co-founder and CEO David Adjei, Aichitect is already making significant waves in the industry.
The platform boasts an impressive portfolio, having assessed projects exceeding £100 million, including a notable 77% cost reduction at Cambridge University Hospital. “The construction industry suffers from severe inefficiencies, leading to additional costs exceeding $84 billion globally due to delays and disputes,” Adjei notes. His vision for Aichitect is clear: to de-risk planning and development, enabling stakeholders—ranging from individual freelancers to expansive construction firms—to make informed decisions quickly, thereby maximizing return on investment (ROI).
With a sharp focus on the UK market, Aichitect is rapidly gaining global traction, having secured approval as a supplier for two significant projects in the Middle East, alongside a robust pipeline of clients across three continents. This momentum, coupled with accolades such as being a finalist for the Digital Team of the Year 2024 and a contender for the Tech Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 at the Black Tech Achievement Awards, positions Aichitect as a formidable player in the tech-driven evolution of construction. Investors looking for ground-level opportunities in innovative startups should keep a keen eye on Aichitect’s journey, as its solutions promise not only to revolutionize architecture but also to deliver sustainable, predictable outcomes in an increasingly competitive landscape.
