What's here
Five sections, each covering a different slice of the job.
ArchiJAM
Self-hostable Gantt chart app for architectural project scheduling. Documentation covers Docker, LXC, and VPS deployment, setup, configuration, and API integration.
BIM
Tutorials and resources for Revit, Autodesk Forma, and Building Information Modeling workflows — with community commenting via Giscus.
BAM
Managing computers (Action1 scripts), project management techniques, and all the boring-but-necessary parts of running an architecture practice.
SpecJAM
Specification intelligence system with compatibility notes, standards tracking at the paragraph level, and decision support for spec writing.
ToolJAM
Free tools and curated links for architectural practice — including integrated tools for Forma and other platforms.
Built on open source
None of this exists without the open-source community. Free software, freely given, makes it possible to build and share tools without paywalls or venture capital.
KAM-JAM is open source too. If something here saves you time, consider contributing back — to this project or to the tools it depends on.
