Together, VergeSense and laiout are setting out to connect how space is used today with the generative redesign that reflects how people actually work, moving from occupancy evidence to optimised floor plan in a single, AI-powered workflow. We are excited to announce a partnership with VergeSense, connecting occupancy intelligence with generative floor plan design. Together, we are setting out to give corporate real estate, workplace, and design teams a faster, more defensible path from data to decision to drawing.

The partnership charts a shared direction of travel: a future where a Predictive Planning scenario from VergeSense, grounded in real-world behavioural data, flows directly into laiout to generate fully designed, compliance-checked floor plans that reflect that behaviour. What used to take weeks of consultant cycles can now happen in a single working session.

The Problem This Solves

Workplace and real estate leaders are making higher stakes decisions on shorter timelines than ever before. Lease expirations, RTO mandates, M&A activity, and hybrid policy shifts are forcing teams to answer questions like "do we consolidate?", "do we redesign?", and "what would the new floor actually look like?" in weeks, not quarters.

The traditional path has been slow and disconnected. Occupancy data lives in disparate systems. Planning happens in spreadsheets. Test fits go to architects and come back weeks later, often based on static assumptions that do not reflect how people actually use the space. By the time a design is in front of leadership, the behavioural context behind it is months old.

Together, VergeSense and laiout are working to collapse that timeline. The shared vision is a path that takes teams from behavioural signal, to predictive scenario, to a tangible, buildable design, in a fraction of the time and cost of the traditional consulting cycle.

What Each Platform Brings

The partnership pairs two capabilities that each remove guesswork from their half of the workplace planning process.

• Plan based on your employees' unique behavioural patterns, not assumptions: VergeSense Predictive Planning is powered by a proprietary Large Spatial Model to simulate how people will actually use space across thousands of plausible workdays, surfacing capacity breakpoints, hidden bottlenecks, and the right mix of space types for a given workforce.
• Generate buildable design in seconds, not weeks: Give laiout your floor plan and brief. Within seconds, you have multiple layout options, fully interactive, with capacity, cost, and carbon metrics updating live as you refine the design. Generate 3D models and photorealistic visuals at the click of a button, then export everything in the format your team needs.
• Iterate live with stakeholders: Teams can freeze the parts of a layout that work, regenerate alternatives for the parts that do not, and share interactive plans with leadership and tenants without waiting on external CAD support.
• Make defensible decisions, faster: Layout options are anchored in observed behaviour on the VergeSense side and in engineering reality on the laiout side, giving teams a credible answer for both "will this perform?" and "can we actually build it?"

The shared goal is a decision support workflow that helps corporate real estate teams move from "we think we need to redesign this floor" to "here are behaviourally validated, buildable options we can take to the executive team" in a fraction of the time and cost of the traditional consulting cycle.

The Power Behind Each Platform

At the core of VergeSense's contribution is the Large Spatial Model, a behavioural benchmark of how enterprise workplaces are actually used, trained on more than eight years of real-world workplace behaviour across 250+ million square feet. Customers using VergeSense Predictive Planning have applied the model to right-size portfolios, redesign offices, and avoid millions in unnecessary real estate spend, including more than $60M in lease avoidance for one Fortune 500 company.

laiout brings the other half of the equation: the only platform that takes a project from brief to buildable design entirely in one place. Generate layouts in seconds, iterate them live, produce photorealistic visualisations in seconds, and hand off directly into existing workflows, including a native Revit plugin that exports your chosen design back as real elements without ever leaving the platform. It has been used to generate layouts across hundreds of millions of square feet in 45+ countries.

What previously required four to twelve weeks of architectural test-fit work can happen in a single working session. Together, the two platforms set out to close a long-standing gap in workplace decision-making: the disconnect between the data that proves a space is not working and the design that actually fixes it.

Shaping the Future of Workplace Decision-Making

The VergeSense and laiout partnership reflects a broader shift in how enterprises are approaching workplace decisions: away from one-off consulting engagements and static benchmarks, and toward connected, AI-powered systems that let teams make faster, more defensible calls on the spaces their people will actually use.

As organisations continue navigating portfolio consolidation, hybrid work evolution, and rising pressure to justify real estate spend, this partnership points toward giving real estate, workplace, and design leaders the decision confidence they need, backed by behavioural spatial data and a generative design platform built for commercial office space.
