The challenge

Turning complex expertise into a reliable AI workflow

  1. Identify rooms, doors, windows, furniture and other regions from varied architectural drawings.
  2. Convert visual plan information into structured data suitable for measurement and estimation.
  3. Reduce repetitive manual annotation while keeping cost engineers in control of review and approval.

The solution

A purpose-built intelligent platform

The system applies computer vision, neural networks and OCR to architectural plans. Detected regions are outlined for review, converted into structured quantities and passed into an AI-assisted budgeting workflow for estimation and approval.
