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?
I hope you offer this to all the construction permitting departments in cities across the country (world?) Awesome job
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.

My lifelong dream of studying architecture and then spending my life preparing door schedules and drainage details is gone now
Is this open source? Wanted to learn how you'd teach a vision model something so custom like floor plans
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.

Love to be able to have a LLM dedicated to this type of work.. Modular designs and standard formats then just bolt ons.. Add it to a Midjourney type visual moodboards and you have a contractors dream kit..
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 :)
Hey Barrett, if you are hiring, I am interested. I am skilled with experience of structural design office (wood, steel etc.) and an academic research background of dealing with computational geometry along with topology optimization for manufacturability. Happy to chat further.

Oh boy you launched it 1st 🥇 , Looks really nice. I’m about to start my training of the model. What models did you guys use ?
This is very cool! I’ve been tinkering with an idea for a few years to take a blueprint and generate a 3D version so people can visualize their house. Just need time to build it!
just now grasping the amount and extent of painstaking details that have to be considered for OCR on illustration based documents.
You should apply this to reading site plan as builts. There is a boatload of money to be made in being able to read those plans and generate utility pipe networks based on the plans.
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.
