Floorplans are all you need. Here's a video of our AI that reads floorplans. It reads room labels, finds dimensions, finds dimension lines, and locates doors and windows, all in under 2 minutes. There are companies with thousands of people who's entire job is to perform that same work. We've automated it with a generative model and a ton of floorplan data. This is the jaw dropper, this is what gets people excited. When construction executives come to BotBuilt they get excited about this, because it meets them where they are, and can improve their lives now.

Very cool. On some level it makes me wonder why the original floor planning software doesn’t just include that data directly in the original export.

I would love to know what your most surprising challenges were when you trained this model. Did you need a consistent style of plans, or have you been able to ingest them from different designers w different approaches to labelling and formatting?

We've only found 1 project where the original dwgs were available. It's easy enough for us to work with original files when available.

Woah do you plan on selling this as a product? I've been working on something at work to analyze standards docs and we've been looking for a way to analyze the images since AI can't understand dimensions/context

We sell the output (how many studs, nails, windows, etc) do you need, but I think your asking about the software for interpreting? It's specific to floorplans.

Looks dope – I did some consulting work for this exact problem a few years back, it was shockingly difficult. Especially at coherence between resolutions (i.e. one room, to a floor, to a building) and trades (construction, electrical, plumbing, etc.)

This is amazing! I'm in the marine industry that builds doors, windows, and hatches on fishing boats, yachts, military vessels, etc., and being able to use something like this in my Engineering and Sales depts. would save countless hours reading boat builder schematics. Well

Wow, great work and super interesting application! Curious, have you been able to wire up the data into a rendering tool that allows you to go from floorpan to model?

It drastically reduced the workload of extracting the info. It's around 1 in 100 that are wrong, but many can be cross referenced, so it can fix those.

We go through and design the whole house stud by stud because, typically, we go and build it with the robots later.

This is incredible. What are your future plans for this? Do you intend to train models on designing? I would love to have something like this critique floor plans throughout the design phase based on market comps. Interested in hearing your thoughts.

I think the future for this includes expanding into plumbing/electrical. Simultaneously we should provide this to architects to provide them pricing and structural feedback as quickly as possible.

I think you could also incorporate AI agents to detect potential anomalies in the plan structure and a cost optimizing agent connected to sourcing materials platforms to adjust the cost based on the total material needed. Just with those features it would be a game changer.

Now do P&IDs next, and handle for diagrams that are continued from page to page, as well as tying instrumentation to assets, and you are golden.

It is cool but unlike leisure llms writing emails in this line of work there can't be any mistakes . Smallest mistake might cause huge issues. In the fine print of terms and conditions it will have to say you can't rely on this and you have to check. So I wouldn't dare touch it

Quick question - after it reads it, what happens? Does it recreate in 3D? Does it get pricing from online stores? I’m curious

On use case I am trying to find a simpler solution is automating heatmapping of data on floor plans. if this can also digitize the space and then map the name to an spaces api and map the data then that would solve lots of real world use cases in IoT world.

Any plan on making it prompt-able for common folks and then from this point to architecture plan to be revised by a real architect? Also if you have any link for a demo I'd be happy to give it a try :)

It’s a height of ignorance by such the drawing softwares. They must take the responsibility to provide these information as a part of the package. It’s most reliable if such information comes from these softwares. Just do it as a great service to the industry they are dealing in.
