Computational Design, BIM Automation & AI Workflows for AEC Teams
Ontologic helps architecture firms, developers and innovation teams in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and internationally turn fragmented design workflows into structured systems using Grasshopper, BIM automation, AI and custom software.
Consultancy for AEC workflows
Most AEC teams do not need more disconnected software. They need better workflow systems.
Architecture and real-estate projects produce huge amounts of geometry, documents, assumptions and decisions. But much of that information remains trapped in files, screenshots, spreadsheets and one-off Grasshopper scripts.
Ontologic helps turn that scattered information into structured workflows, reusable tools and decision-making systems that fit the way AEC teams actually work. The service side is especially relevant for firms in Amsterdam and the Netherlands that want local expertise with an international software and computational design perspective.

Outcomes
Data-driven design as strategic leverage
The goal is to create practical leverage: faster workflows, clearer decisions, cleaner data and tools that survive beyond one project.
Less repetitive work
Automate manual modelling, checking, formatting and reporting steps that slow down project teams.
Better project intelligence
Structure project information so teams can compare options, understand trade-offs and make stronger decisions.
Reusable systems
Move away from one-off scripts toward maintainable systems that can be reused across projects.
More connected tools
Bridge Rhino, Grasshopper, BIM, Speckle, databases, dashboards and AI into coherent workflows.
Example projects
Practical tools and workflows that fit real project teams
Ontologic builds with a developer-friendly stack, combining web applications, data platforms, computational design and AEC tools. The goal is not abstract innovation, but software and workflows that can be used by real teams.
Discuss a ProjectTechnology
Modern, scalable and developer-friendly
From Grasshopper and Speckle to databases, dashboards and Next.js-based tools, the stack is chosen around the workflow instead of the other way around.
Process
How a consultancy project usually works
The exact format depends on the project, but the process is always practical: understand, prototype, build, transfer.
Discover
We map your current workflows, tools, bottlenecks and opportunities for automation or better data structures.
Prototype
We quickly test concepts with real project material, so the value becomes visible before overbuilding.
Build
We turn the strongest direction into a production-ready workflow, tool, dashboard or software layer.
Transfer
We document, explain and hand over the system so your team can actually use and extend it.
Who it is for
Built for AEC teams working on real projects
Ontologic sits between architecture, computational design, BIM and software development. That makes it especially useful for Dutch and international teams that understand the value of digital workflows, but need help turning ideas into working systems.
Architecture firms
For studios in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and beyond that want stronger computational workflows, better internal tools and less manual project repetition.
Real estate developers
For teams that need feasibility dashboards, design option comparison, project data and decision support for early-stage development.
AEC innovation teams
For digital, BIM and innovation teams looking to prototype, validate and scale new workflow systems.
FAQ
Questions about working with Ontologic
The service work is flexible: from a short workshop or workflow audit to a longer consultancy project, prototype or custom AEC software build.
Do you work with architecture firms in Amsterdam and the Netherlands?
Yes. Ontologic is based in Amsterdam and works with architecture, engineering, real-estate and AEC teams in the Netherlands, while also supporting international teams remotely.
Can you help with existing Grasshopper scripts?
Yes. A common starting point is reviewing existing Grasshopper definitions, cleaning up structure, improving performance, making logic reusable and turning one-off scripts into more reliable workflow systems.
Do you only advise, or also build tools?
Both. Work can range from strategy sessions and workflow audits to prototypes, dashboards, Grasshopper tools, Speckle pipelines, database-backed applications and production-ready internal software.
Can you connect Grasshopper to BIM, Speckle or databases?
Yes. Ontologic focuses on connecting computational design workflows with project data, BIM-style information, Speckle, databases, dashboards and web-based tools.
Is this useful for smaller architecture studios?
Yes. Smaller studios often benefit from targeted automation, workflow cleanup and lightweight tools that reduce repetitive work without requiring a large internal software team.
Can you provide workshops for teams?
Yes. Workshops can cover Grasshopper, computational design strategy, AI workflows for architects, BIM automation, data workflows or custom topics based on your team's current projects.
Have a workflow, tool idea or project bottleneck?
Share what you are trying to improve. The first step is usually identifying where the real leverage is: Grasshopper automation, BIM data, AI support, custom software or a simpler workflow redesign.
Describe the current workflow or project problem.
Share what tools, files, models or data are involved.
Explore whether automation, AI or software makes sense.
