Autocase

Economic analysis software for sustainable buildings and infrastructure. The $9T building and infrastructure market operates in a technology stone age, manually evaluating  design, construction and operational decisions. The lack of efficient and objective tools to speed the process leads to project delays as well as decisions that deliver less than optimal returns. Autocase is a Cloud-based SaaS company and an early mover in automating the global default standard for valuing project financial, social & environmental returns on investment Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA).  Autocase enables cost-justification of smarter, lower carbon buildings; reveals  additional building value to owners, occupants and host communities; helps increase stakeholder buy-in reducing project delays.  Autocase also includes other metrics such as Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), the full-carbon story, etc. Autocase subscribers get objective and comparable business cases at a fraction of the time and cost of one-off assessments. Clients can buy per project or through enterprise deals.  Autocase plans to increase reach by integrating with Revit, Autodesk's billion dollar flagship building design product.TRACTIONSince our commercial release in 2017, Autocase has been embraced by leaders across numerous sectors including by some of the world's largest airports (ATL & SFO); architecture and engineering companies (Gensler & HOK); and public asset owners (City of LA & Miami-Dade County).  Revenue growth has averaged ~93% per year since 2017.TIMINGAutodesk's $2M and the Founder's $5M investment have paid off with a lead in this emerging category, including channel relationships with key players such as the US Green Building Council (LEED/Arc) and the ISI (Envision).  2021 has seen a country, and world, focused on the very same goals Autocase was already helping solve; climate change, sustainability, health and equity.
