Obayashi Corporation architectural technology integration

Obayashi Corporation has begun integrating advanced technological tools to optimize its architectural design and regulatory compliance processes.

Initially, the company initiated trial implementations of Tektome, an agentic intelligence platform specialized for the construction industry. This system was designed to streamline legal and regulatory research—covering acts such as the Building Standards Act and Fire Service Act—during early project design phases. Verification tests indicated that the platform reduced the time required for legal research and requirement organization by approximately 67%, lowering the average from 4.3 hours to 1.4 hours per person per week.

Following these developments, the company expanded its technological scope by introducing ‘ArchiPALETTE’, an environmental design platform. This tool utilizes 3D city models to predict the impact of new buildings on landscapes and wind environments. By leveraging cloud high-performance computing, the platform can perform wind environment analysis approximately 500 times faster than a standard PC, reducing calculation timelines from months to hours. Obayashi continues to utilize the Tektome generative AI system to integrate public laws with internal expertise for automated legal point extraction.
