Founded by Alvin P. Tabar, P.E., whose progressive hands-on structural design experience spans around three decades on projects across the globe, Ai-Alt has worked on projects from prominent clients alongside Alvin's former employers, former colleagues and newly formed partnerships.
Ai-Alt specializes in content-enabled constructible 3D model that directly translates to built environment. Ai-Alt employs advance structural design techniques and cutting-edge technologies that produce efficient and economical engineering solutions in an integrated design approach. From high-rise buildings to high-functionality educational facilities, from major renovations to tenant fit-out projects, our work exemplifies successful implementations of artificial intelligence plus human structural design ingenuity.
Alvin always believe that advance technologies will play major roles in the practice of structural engineering. When training was hard to come by, he immersed himself into learning LISP programming language on his own and applied it in his work when he was just in his early twenties and helped him land a job in Hong Kong, where his formative years in high-rise building design kicked-off. Today, with the recent advancement in applicable structural engineering technologies and visual programming languages, those fundamental LISP programming knowledge coupled with his around three decades of progressive hands-on structural design experience is what makes "Ai-Alt" exceptional. Young computer-savvy structural engineers may have the skillsets to deal with the demands of digital computational design in this day and age but they normally lack the real life experience in dealing with project complexities. Similarly, structural engineers with decades long of experience may struggle to adapt to today's structural design environment, definitely not the case for "AI-alt". Ai-Alt is agile enough to adapt to current advancement in structural engineering design technologies and experienced enough to deal with any complexities that may come along the way in any given project.
