ARCHITEChTURES vs Finch
Two Architecture AI tools, side by side. Both are verified against their own live sites. Here is what each does well and who it is for, so you can choose what fits.
Generative AI for residential building design
Best forArchitects and developers designing residential developments and balancing code compliance with design goals
What it doesARCHITEChTURES is a generative AI platform for residential and mixed-use building design that produces optimised layouts in real time based on site constraints, building codes and design goals. It generates 2D and 3D models, BIM files (DXF, IFC, XLSX), automated cost takeoffs, topography integration and underground parking layouts.
Capabilities- Real-time generative layouts
- 2D and 3D modelling
- BIM export (DXF, IFC, XLSX)
- Automated cost takeoffs
- Topography integration
- Parking layout generation

Best forArchitecture and engineering firms exploring large-scale generative design grounded in their standards
What it doesFinch is an AI-native design platform that helps architecture and engineering teams generate buildable floor plans grounded in firm standards and local codes. It encodes institutional design systems, tests thousands of design options with real-time trade-off data, automates repetitive tasks and produces detailed floor plans, area calculations and BIM geometry quickly.
Capabilities- Generative buildable floor plans
- Design-system encoding
- Large-scale option exploration
- Code-aware design
- BIM geometry output
- Task automation agents
