Case Study: Engineering Insights
Redefining Engineering Efficiency with AI for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Firms.
- Manual BoQ calculations leading to errors.
- Siloed CAD/PDF drawings causing visibility issues.
- Lack of design validation tools increasing risk.
- Tribal knowledge silos resulting in insight loss.
- Poor planning-data sync causing disruptions.
These flaws lead to costly rework, safety risks, and reduced stakeholder trust.
- Drawing Intelligence: Turns unstructured PDFs into structured, machine-readable geometry and specs.
- Smart BoQ Generation: Automates BoQ with traceability and instant error-flagging.
- Compliance Validator: Checks drawing data against project and regulatory specs.
- Knowledge Hub: Transforms one-off insights into scalable institutional knowledge.
- Review Collaboration: Enables teams to work in sync on validated inputs.
- 1
Input Phase
Upload structural, architectural, or civil drawings in PDF or scanned format.
- 2
Interpretation Engine
AI models extract key data such as dimensions, reinforcement types, zones, and materials.
- 3
Validation Pipeline
Automated checks flag inconsistencies in codes, material specs, or missing elements.
- 4
BoQ Generator
Structured BoQ output created, auditable and ready for procurement.
- 5
Feedback Layer
Engineers review, annotate, and approve outputs—creating a continuous learning loop.
- 6
Export Options
Download in Excel/PDF or push directly into ERP, BIM, or tender systems.
Vision AI
Vertex AI OCR with engineering-specific training to parse legacy PDFs and drawings.
LLM Parsing Agents
Custom-tuned language models that understand drawing annotations, layer logic, and specifications.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Dense + sparse embedding architecture for BoQ knowledge queries.
Validator Engine
Combines learned rules and deterministic logic to enforce project-specific codes and constraints.
Self-Learning Feedback Loop
Incorporates engineer inputs to refine prediction and flagging accuracy over time.
| KPI | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Time to Generate BoQ | 3–4 days | <1 hour |
| Design Review Time | 2+ hours/drawing | 15–30 minutes |
| Procurement Planning Errors | Frequent | Reduced by 85% |
| Compliance Risk | High | Auto-flagged & transparent |
| Engineering Knowledge Loss | High (tribal) | Captured & reusable |
