Preoptima CONCEPT
Make strategic, carbon-informed decisions from the earliest stages of design
Preoptima CONCEPT is a web app and API that allows building stakeholders to easily and accurately perform real-time whole-life carbon assessments (WLCAs) and carbon optioneering from the earliest stages of design.
Carbon Assessments Made Easy
Why Choose CONCEPT?
No Complex Data Input
AI-powered generative design and automated material quantities take-off eliminate the need for manual data entry or complex building remodelling.
Early Carbon Feedback
Instant feedback on carbon hotspots allows you to identify savings opportunities early in the design process and optimise designs before committing.
Intuitive for All Stakeholders
An easy-to-use interface and powerful backend calculations enable ease of use across the value chain, with no LCA expertise required!
Design Smarter
Key Benefits
-
Effortless Design Option Creation
Quickly create and iterate designs using Preoptima’s AI-driven tools. Whether you’re importing your own designs or generating simple geometries directly in the platform, optioneering is easy! Plus, the ability to upload OBJ files from any CAD software means that you can streamline your design process using your preferred tools from the very beginning.
-
Automated Material Quantities Take-Off
Save time and reduce errors with automated material quantities generation. Preoptima CONCEPT handles all calculations with unprecedented accuracy, allowing you to focus on refining your designs and making informed decisions without the hassle of manual data entry.
-
Instant Carbon Analysis and Hotspot Identification
Make impactful decisions early in the design process. Instantly analyse the whole life carbon impacts of your design(s) and identify hotspots with real-time data, helping you minimise carbon emissions and meet your sustainability goals.
-
Informed Trade-offs and Design Scenarios
Compare different design scenarios - whether it's between new build vs. retrofit, or different material choices. Preoptima CONCEPT provides the insights you need to make informed decisions and select the most carbon-efficient solutions.
-
Enhanced Workflows and Reporting
Streamline your early-stage embodied carbon assessments and boost productivity. Manage projects, set custom baselines, and generate comprehensive reports that help you and your stakeholders stay aligned on sustainability goals.

What Our Customers Are Saying
This level of detailed, early-stage analysis is unparalleled and crucial for projects aiming for high-level environmental certifications.
Using Preoptima, we achieved a comprehensive embodied carbon analysis for various structural systems, including timber, hybrid-timber, concrete, and steel. The software's detailed visualizations and data helped us demonstrate a potential 50-70% reduction in embodied carbon with timber systems, guiding us towards more sustainable choices.
