Seedcamp Backs Solvera with $6.3M to Replace MEP Engineering Software with AI Agents

For decades, construction tech startups have tried to improve industry productivity by selling complex software licenses to traditional engineering firms. Now, Oslo-based Solvera is flipping the model, raising a $6.3 million pre-seed round led by Seedcamp to sell finished engineering designs instead of software seats. The startup operates as a fully licensed engineering firm of record, utilizing proprietary AI agents to automate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design processes.

Unlike traditional SaaS vendors like Autodesk that require human engineers to manually draft every pipe and wire, Solvera's platform ingests a client's building requirements to autonomously generate construction-ready MEP packages. AI agents handle the bulk of the repetitive spatial coordination, while human engineers step in only to supervise the output and make high-level judgments. This approach allows the company to deliver end-to-end services faster, with the system's intelligence improving after every completed project.

The funding, which includes backing from the founders of Spacemaker and several Nordic funds, highlights a broader shift in enterprise AI from passive copilots to autonomous service providers. By taking legal responsibility for the final designs rather than just providing a tool, Solvera is demonstrating how AI could eventually replace the traditional billable-hour consulting model in heavy industries. The fresh capital will be used to expand its engineering team in Oslo and open a new office in London.
