Endra vs Augmenta
Two AI-first electrical tools that work with Revit, aimed at different jobs: Endra designs building electrical systems for MEP engineers (power, lighting and fire alarm, with drawings, schedules and calculations); Augmenta's ACP generates clash-free conduit and raceway models for contractors' VDC teams before coordination and prefab. Not like-for-like. Vendor-published facts only; desk research, not tested, no winner.
In short: Endra (AI MEP engineering design; no public prices (quote / sales)) vs Augmenta (AI MEP design & electrical routing; no public prices (quote / sales)). Facts last checked Oct 17, 2026. No winner declared; not tested.

Side by side
| Sheet row | Endra | Augmenta |
|---|---|---|
| Category | AI MEP engineering design | AI MEP design & electrical routing |
| AI role (our label) | AI-first | AI-first |
| What it does | AI-powered MEP design. Electrical is listed as live: power distribution, lighting and fire alarm, with unit placement, circuiting, cable and equipment sizing, and routing. Mechanical (HVAC routing, energy modeling, simulation, calculations) is listed with an ETA of 2027; plumbing is listed as in development. Endra Power Studio produces models, drawings, schedules, calculations, diagrams and documentation; Playbooks encode a firm's design standards, agents handle tasks such as cable routing, typical-room design is replicated across a project, and models sync both ways with Revit. Vendor claims a 12x productivity increase (vendor claim, not verified). The CSV records a $50M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz. Re-read Oct 17, 2026: FAQ lists Power Studio outputs as the electrical 3D model, Revit model, single line diagrams, drawings, panel board schedules, cable schedules, electrical equipment schedules, load calculations and bill of materials; a Diagnostics feature compares model versions and flags added, removed and relocated items; the platform is rolling out in the U.S., UK, EU and Middle East; Endra says it does not train on input models and lists ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, Cyber Essentials Plus and GDPR (vendor statements). Demo is a 30-minute session. | Spatial-AI company building what it calls the Foundation Model for Construction, starting with electrical. Its electrical product uses AI-driven routing to generate fully coordinated, clash-free electrical models (routing conduit) in hours instead of weeks, before coordination begins (vendor claims), aimed at complex buildings such as data centers, hospitals and schools. Mechanical and plumbing are listed as coming soon. A Sept 28, 2026 vendor blog post is titled "Hyperscale Data Center Model Accelerated By 8.5x Using AI" (vendor claim, not verified). Vendor says its team came from generative design for advanced manufacturing. Re-read Oct 17, 2026: the electrical product is called ACP and automates electrical raceway modeling for VDC teams: import the model from Revit, define to's and from's from existing conduit run schedules, set fly/no-fly zones and project specs (spacing, clearances, minimum raceway heights), generate clash-free routes in the cloud, compare multiple solutions, edit with real-time clash detection, then export system conduit to Revit for QC and prefab. FAQ says ACP 2.0 covers overhead, underground and in-slab conduit, and features list feeders and branch routing, existing Revit families and SOC 2 certification. Page claims 5x faster from zero to modeled (vendor claim, not verified). |
| Who it's for | MEP engineering firms and electrical engineers designing buildings in Revit. | Electrical and MEP contractors' VDC and BIM modeling teams, and design teams on large technical buildings (from the vendor's capacity and outsourcing framing). |

Where the vendor descriptions differ
- Core job: Endra lists electrical as live: power distribution, lighting and fire alarm, with unit placement, circuiting, cable and equipment sizing and routing. Augmenta's ACP automates electrical raceway modeling: it routes feeder and branch conduit and generates clash-free, supportable pathways for racks.
- Who it is for: Endra's pages speak to MEP engineering firms and electrical engineers, with Playbooks that turn a firm's design standards into rules Endra follows. Augmenta's pages speak to VDC and modeling teams (it calls ACP contractor-grade) on complex buildings such as data centers, hospitals and schools.
- Set-up and inputs: Endra loads a Playbook (region, occupancy, firm standards) and replicates one designed Typical Room across similar rooms with agents. ACP imports the model from Revit, takes to's and from's from existing conduit run schedules, and uses fly/no-fly zones and project specs such as spacing, clearances and minimum raceway heights.
- Outputs: Endra lists the electrical 3D model, Revit model, single line diagrams, drawings, panel board schedules, cable schedules, equipment schedules, load calculations and bill of materials. ACP lists multiple routing solutions to compare for value engineering, real-time clash detection while editing, and system conduit exported to Revit, where Augmenta's QC and conduit editing tools (or third-party tools such as Evolve) finish the model for prefab.
- Revit: Endra says it is natively integrated with Revit, builds models with your chosen families, syncs both ways, and flags model changes with a Diagnostics feature. Augmenta says ACP imports from and exports to Revit and works with existing Revit families.
- Coverage: Endra lists mechanical with an ETA of 2027 and plumbing in development, and is rolling out in the U.S., UK, EU and Middle East. Augmenta lists mechanical and plumbing as coming soon; its FAQ says ACP 2.0 covers overhead, underground and in-slab conduit.
- Security and data (vendor statements): Endra lists ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, Cyber Essentials Plus and GDPR and says it does not train on input models. Augmenta says ACP is cloud-based and SOC 2 certified.
- Claims (vendor statements, not verified): Endra claims a 12x productivity increase. Augmenta claims 5x faster from zero to modeled and cites an 8.5x faster hyperscale data center model in a case study. Neither publishes a measurement method on the pages we read.
- Pricing: neither publishes prices. Endra routes to a 30-minute demo; Augmenta routes to Contact us.

What we can't tell you yet
Which tool is better for your work. That needs testing on the same package with a verified answer key. Planned measures for this comparison:
- Hours from an approved electrical design to a coordinated conduit model, with and without each tool
- Clashes remaining after export into a full multi-trade coordination model
- Whether drawings, schedules and calculations meet your firm's and AHJ's standards without rework
