Unleash Intelligent STAFFING
McKim.AI exists to help fill your firm’s immediate staffing needs without the need for a permanent hire.
McKim.AI
Architectural Intelligence for Project Delivery
Experienced architectural judgment. Modern tools. Independent execution.
McKim.AI is the technology-enabled consulting platform of Jonathan J. McKim, Architect, providing fractional senior architectural and project-delivery services to architecture and design firms, developers, owners, and contractors.
The premise is simple:
Technology should make an experienced architect more effective—not replace architectural judgment.
McKim.AI combines 17 years of independent architectural practice with contemporary digital and AI-assisted workflows to help project teams research, coordinate, review, document, and resolve architectural issues efficiently.
Senior Experience Without Permanent Overhead
Architecture firms frequently encounter temporary mismatches between workload and staffing.
A major deadline approaches. A project requires additional senior oversight. A project manager leaves midway through an assignment. Plan-check comments arrive while the team is already committed elsewhere. Construction begins generating RFIs. A document set needs an independent technical review.
Hiring another permanent employee is not always the right solution.
McKim.AI provides another option:
Fractional senior architectural capacity.
Engagements can be structured around specific deliverables, project phases, recurring weekly support, or temporary project leadership.

AI-Assisted Architectural Research and Workflow Development
AI-Assisted. Architect-Led.
Artificial intelligence can accelerate research, information organization, document analysis, workflow development, and other aspects of architectural practice.
But architecture remains a professional service requiring judgment, accountability, experience, and an understanding of buildings and construction.
Accordingly, McKim.AI uses AI as a tool within an architect-led professional workflow.
The technology assists. The architect decides.
