Making the world’s buildings more durable.
Aedifice is a research and products company for the built environment. We build reliable, auditable, and reviewable tools for the people responsible for the world’s buildings — owners, operators, engineers, architects, and the institutions that hold buildings across decades. Our first product is Wren, the agent for the built environment.
Our Purpose
We believe buildings shape nearly every hour of human life. Aedifice is dedicated to building the products, research, and durable record the people responsible for the world’s buildings rely on.
We Build Products You Can Rely On
We aim to build frontier products for the built environment that are reliable, auditable, and reviewable. We conduct applied research, develop and apply a variety of correctness and review techniques, and deploy the resulting products through partnerships with the firms responsible for the world's buildings.
Research Is a Discipline
We treat research on buildings as a systematic discipline, conducting work on how buildings age, applying it to our products, feeding those insights back into our research, and publishing openly with named datasets and reproducible methods along the way.
Interdisciplinary
Aedifice is a collaborative team of practicing architects, engineers, researchers, policy specialists, software engineers, and operators, who bring experience from many different domains to our work.
Aedifice Is One Piece of a Larger System
The built environment is governed by regulators, owned by institutions, designed by professionals, built by trades, operated by managers, and inhabited by people. We view ourselves as one piece of this evolving system, not a replacement for any part of it. We collaborate with civil society, government, academia, nonprofits, and industry to promote durability, accountability, and safety across the field.
The Team
We’re building a team across the disciplines the work requires: applied research, policy analysis, product and engineering, and the operational functions that let a serious company serve serious customers. Aedifice is currently founder-led. As the team grows, this page will reflect each discipline’s leadership.
Research
We conduct applied research across material metabolism, building stewardship, energy and emissions, applied AI, policy forensics, and civic equity. Every report we publish is grounded in named public datasets and written so the methods can be replicated. First publications are in preparation.
Policy
We analyze the regulatory, heritage, and liability frameworks that shape the built environment, and we communicate what we observe at the frontier of agentic systems to policy-makers, professional associations, and civil society.
Product
We translate research into practical tools for the people responsible for buildings. Wren, our first product, is the memory and compliance platform for architects, engineers, owners, and operators — a system of record for every filing, condition, decision, and obligation attached to a building, and a system of action for the agentic workflows modern stewardship requires.
Operations
The legal, financial, security, and operational infrastructure that supports Aedifice's work. Built deliberately as the company grows, and backgrounds that span licensed practice, municipal government, construction, and software — a reflection of the industries we serve.
What we value and how we act
Every day, we make decisions that inform our ability to serve the long life of the built environment. Shaping the future of how buildings are stewarded is a responsibility and a privilege. Our values guide how we work together, the decisions we make, and how we show up for each other, for the licensed professions, and for the buildings in our care.
01
Buildings come first.
Every decision we make starts from a specific building and the people responsible for it. Products are a means. The building is the end, and the horizon for that end is longer than any single product, career, or company.
02
Research and practice inform each other.
Our research is grounded in the buildings we work on. Our products are grounded in the research we publish. Neither is decorative. Both feed the other, and we publish openly so the field can check our work.
03
Licensed humans are accountable, not agents.
Our products draft, monitor, and remember. They do not decide, seal, or file. The humans responsible for the work remain accountable for it, and our products are designed to make that accountability easier, not harder.
04
Choose durability over cleverness.
Buildings outlast the architects, engineers, owners, and operators who work on them. Our products should outlast the fashions of software. We prefer boring, reliable, legible solutions to technically novel ones. We invent only when the problem demands invention — and when we do, we invent in ways the field can inspect, verify, and replicate.
05
Publish the work.
Research published in private is advertising. Research published openly, with data and methods, is research. We default to open publication with named datasets and reproducible methods.
06
Build for the long horizon.
Buildings last a century. Our products should be trustworthy across that time frame. We make decisions accordingly — about architecture, about partnerships, about what we ship and what we refuse to ship.
07
Put the building first.
When interests compete, the building is the tiebreaker. The long life of a structure outlasts any quarter, any contract, and any career, including ours.
Governance
Aedifice is a company whose stated purpose is the research, products, and institutional record required for the long life of the built environment. The company is currently led by its founder and chief executive officer. As the board and advisory structure expand, this page will reflect their composition.
Leadership
Jeremy Edwards — Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Jeremy Edwards is an architectural researcher based in New York, with a B.Arch and an M.S. in Sustainability, both from The City College of New York. Prior work includes facade restoration of the Woolworth Building, a National Register landmark, featured in The Architect’s Newspaper in November 2025. He founded Aedifice to solve the problem he saw repeatedly in practice: the institutional memory of a building dies every time it changes hands, and no system is built for the horizons buildings actually live on.
