AI-powered M&E design platform debuts in US and UK

Endra founders Anton Juric, Niklas Lindgren, David Rydberg and Gustav Hammarlund

SWEDEN: Backed by $50m funding, start-up company Endra is introducing its AI-driven automated design platform for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems to the US and UK.

Endra is a purpose-built platform that generates 3D and 2D models, along with documentation for MEP engineers. It transforms traditionally manual workflows – such as placing devices, routing conduits, and producing compliance-ready documentation – into fast, automated processes using artificial intelligence, simulation, and computational geometry.

The Stockholm-based company has announced the establishment of a North American headquarters in New York, an office in San Francisco, and a UK office in London. 

The expansion follows Endra’s $50m Series A funding led by US venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz earlier this year.

The Endra platform ingests standard building model files, integrates with BIM tools like Revit, and reconstructs each building in a detailed 3D environment. From there, it automates system design, device placement, routing, model generation, and compliance-ready documentation across 3D and 2D deliverables. 

According to Endra, a code-compliant electrical design for a 500,000ft2 commercial building that traditionally takes around two months can be completed in less than a day.

The US is now the centrepiece of Endra’s growth strategy and will be led by co-founder and president Anton Juric. 

“Having spent the past year in discussions with the largest design firms in the world, one thing has become clear: the shift to AI-native engineering is underway,” said Anton Juric. “The firms that move first will have more capacity, faster timelines, and a new way to scale their expertise. The US is the largest construction market in the world, and we are building there in person because enterprise trust is won in the room.”

In parallel, Endra is deepening its presence in the UK. Its London office serves major engineering consultancies and acts as a strategic hub for enterprise customers across Europe and the Middle East. The company is actively hiring across engineering, sales, and customer success in New York, San Francisco and London, pacing toward 100 employees globally as it scales its offices over the next twelve months.
