DUTTA Ai

Swarup Dutta masterfully blends decades of town planning expertise with cutting-edge AI to revolutionise residential development in Victoria. His DuttaAi engine uniquely outputs feasible dwelling counts whilst enforcing garden areas, setbacks, and driveway compliance that others overlook.​

Planning-Led Design Roots

Swarup's B.Arch degree and status as a Registered Planner in Australia underpin his shift from traditional methods to parametric AI workflows. Through AuArchitecture, he secured over 250 permits, including a landmark VCAT win against 82 objectors represented by top lawyers. This hands-on legacy ensures his tools prioritise real regulatory hurdles over generic modelling.​

Birth of DuttaAi Engine

Launched in 2025, DuttaAi leverages Revit, Dynamo, and Python to model low-rise developments on standard Victorian lots. It eliminates change management drudgery by parametrically integrating planning rules like mandatory garden areas and SOPS from the start. Unlike competitors, it delivers precise feasibility outputs tailored to Victoria's schemes, transforming monotonous planning into efficient creativity.​

Key Innovations

  • Combines global experience (India, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne) with 3D-exclusive workflows for authentic outputs.​

  • Outputs not just designs but compliant dwelling numbers, driveway widths, and open spaces automatically.​

  • Pioneers planning-led AI, removing grind whilst upholding VCAT-level rigour.​

Future Vision

DuttaAi targets small design teams, in-house builder planners, and virtual platforms needing genuine town planning smarts. Swarup's practitioner-developer duality—exploring blockchain POC next—pushes boundaries at planning-design-AI intersections. Based in Melbourne, it empowers Victoria-focused projects with scalable, regulation-first intelligence.​
