Challenges Addressed

  1. 01

    Manual Effort: Estimators previously spent hours manually analyzing building plans to identify doors and their details.

  2. 02

    Error Susceptibility: Manual processes often led to missed doors or incorrect labeling, impacting the overall project accuracy.

  3. 03

    Collaboration Gaps: Estimators lacked an efficient mechanism to annotate and communicate discrepancies in real time.

  4. 04

    Integration Issues: Transferring data to Comsense manually increased the likelihood of errors and delays in project workflows.

Solution Overview

Our AI-powered tool offers a robust and automated approach to door identification from building plans. Key features include:

  1. 01

    AI Detection: The tool extracts door labels and their precise coordinates directly from PDF plans.

  2. 02

    Interactive Grid Interface: Detected data is presented in a structured grid format for easy review and refinement by estimators.

  3. 03

    Annotation Tools: Estimators can annotate PDFs directly to highlight missed or incorrect detections, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

  4. 04

    Visual Indicators: Clear markers identify discrepancies, such as wrongly detected or missed doors.

  5. 05

    Seamless Integration with Comsense: Automated data synchronization with Comsense eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing errors and improving workflow efficiency.
