Austin-based Aurigo Software has launched a major update to its flagship platform, aiming to tackle the chronic challenges plaguing large-scale infrastructure projects. The company announced Masterworks 2026 on December 16, 2025, a complete reimagining of its capital planning and construction management software built for the next decade.
The Stark Reality of Infrastructure Delivery
The launch comes against a sobering backdrop. Aurigo cites an Accenture study revealing that a staggering 92% of infrastructure programs fail to deliver expected outcomes on time and within budget. Only 6% of organizations consistently meet their targets. Public agencies are under immense pressure, grappling with rising costs, strict compliance, and exploding data volumes, all while using outdated tools not designed for modern demands.
Reimagined for Speed, Clarity, and AI Intelligence
Masterworks 2026 is engineered as a direct response to these systemic issues. The platform promises a modernized user experience, meaningful AI integration, and a fully digitized solution for managing right-of-way processes. According to Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder of Aurigo Software, the update is a fundamental step into an AI-reshaped future for construction.
"Masterworks 2026 represents a fundamental step into that future for capital programs," Sreenivasan stated. "It brings intelligence and judgment to every decision point, so agencies have a true partner that helps them plan smarter, manage complexity, and deliver outcomes with greater confidence."
Key Capabilities of the New Platform
The platform is designed to deliver higher productivity, faster turnaround, and measurable weekly time savings. Aurigo claims it enables teams to streamline workflows, gain early risk insights, and eliminate complexity. Key features highlighted include:
- AI-Driven Scenario Planning: Models trade-offs and identifies optimal funding strategies aligned with long-term community impact.
- Frictionless User Experience: Simplified navigation designed to accelerate project delivery.
- Lumina AI Engine: A unified intelligent system for search, insights, and forecasts to improve predictability.
- Predictive Agents: Surface potential issues early, enabling proactive rather than reactive decision-making.
- No-Code Toolkit: Allows agencies to configure processes four times faster and adapt AI-powered workflows.
Kevin Koenig, Chief Technology Officer at Aurigo, emphasized the practical benefits for users. "You can now configure processes 4x faster with our no-code toolkit and adapt AI-powered workflows that free up 8–12 hours weekly through automation," he said. "With built-in copilot and predictive agents, teams can now operate with greater efficiency and focus more of their time on making strategic decisions that matter."
By integrating advanced AI directly into the workflow, Aurigo's Masterworks 2026 aims to transform how public agencies and private owners plan, manage, and deliver the critical infrastructure projects that communities rely on.
