Problems

Your Drawings Hide Millions in Decisions.

Preconstruction teams are buried in PDFs and sheets. Manual takeoffs, vendor-driven pricing, and opaque drawings make it easy to overpay and miss value‑engineering opportunities before the job even goes to bid.

For Developer

Opaque Cost Drivers

Key cost drivers are buried across
plans, elevations, schedules, and
specs—making it hard to see what
really moves the budget.

For Contractors

Manual Takeoffs &

Spreadsheets

Estimators spend days clicking

through PDFs and updating fragile

spreadsheets just to get a baseline

quantity takeoff.

For Contractors

Overspecified

Materials

Doors, glazing, finishes, and MEP

often get overspecified, adding 5–

15% to CapEx with no meaningful

change in performance.

For Contractors

Slow Q&A on Design

Answering basic questions like

“what if we change this door type?”

requires pinging multiple teams and

waiting for updated drawings.

Agents

Ecosystem of Construction Drawing Agents

A domain‑trained, verification‑first micro‑agent system that parses drawing sets, runs automated takeoff and cost estimates, explores value‑engineering options, and helps teams reason about design in natural language.

Drawing Ingestion & Structuring

Ingests full plan sets—plans, elevations, sections, schedules—and builds a linked, queryable representation of the project.

Automatic Plan Detection

Instantly identifies walls, rooms, doors, windows, and areas from construction drawings—no manual tracing.

AI-Driven Quantity Takeoffs

Calculates lengths, areas, and counts directly from drawings for fast, accurate estimates.

The agent plugs directly into your PIM, ERP, marketplace system,
vendor onboarding flow, or internal product DB—zero workflow

Results

Developer-Ready Impact

Real, measurable impact from preconstruction—faster budgets, clearer VE options, and project‑level savings that move IRR, not just line items.

Steps

How It Works

Step 1

Ingest Drawing Sets

Ingest Drawing Sets

Upload architectural, structural, and MEP plans,

elevations, sections, and schedules from PDFs, BIM exports, or shared drives.

Step 2

Structure & Link Entities
