Why Architects & Engineers Are Using AI to Find Materials—Are You Missing Out?

The Shift to AI-Powered Search in Architecture & Engineering

The way architects, engineers, and procurement teams discover building materials is evolving fast. Over 80% of architects and engineers now rely on AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity instead of traditional methods like Google, catalogs, or cold outreach.

This shift means that if your materials aren’t optimized for AI search, you’re invisible to decision-makers who are actively looking for solutions like yours.

Why AI Search Is Dominating Material Discovery

Speed & Efficiency – AI-powered search delivers instant answers, reducing the time professionals spend hunting for the right materials.
Precision & Relevance – AI-driven results are tailored to specific project needs, not just generic keyword searches.
Seamless Integration – AI tools like JoziAI connect directly with procurement workflows, eliminating unnecessary steps in the sourcing process.
Real Data, Real Decisions – Architects and engineers want materials with clear specifications, pricing, and availability upfront. AI ensures that relevant vendors show up first.

The Problem: If You’re Not in AI Search, You’re Not in the Game

Traditional product discovery methods are outdated:

Google searches bury manufacturers under thousands of results.
Cold emails are ignored.
Printed catalogs? Almost extinct.

Architects and engineers are moving forward. If your materials aren’t AI-search-ready, they’re simply not being considered.

Real-Life Example: How AI Search Helped a Manufacturer Get More Sales

Take EcoBuild Materials, a mid-sized manufacturer of sustainable building panels. Before integrating JoziAI, their sales team struggled to get their products in front of architects, relying on cold outreach and outdated distributor networks. Once they optimized their catalog for AI-powered search engines, architects looking for low-carbon, fire-resistant panels found their products instantly. Within six months, they saw:

✅ A 4X increase in qualified project inquiries.

✅ Faster procurement decisions with AI-powered automated material recommendations.

✅ A 30% boost in direct sales due to improved visibility in AI-driven searches.

How JoziAI Gets Your Materials Discovered

JoziAI ensures that your materials are indexed, searchable, and preferred in AI-powered search engines.

Here’s how:

✅ Optimized for AI Search Engines – Your materials are showcased where architects and engineers actually search.

✅ More Qualified Leads – Every inquiry comes with project details, quantities, and timelines.

✅ Automated Product Discovery – Sync your catalog, BIM files, and technical specs so decision-makers get the exact information they need instantly.

✅ ERP Integration – Ensure your stock availability, pricing, and lead times are up to date.

Don’t Get Left Behind—Get Found With AI

The future of material sourcing is happening now. AI-powered search is not a trend—it’s the new standard. If you want to be seen, you need to be where architects, engineers, and procurement teams are searching.
