Node activity below is a demonstration using sample architecture, cad and bim data.

Ask the live agents

Describe the problem in your own words. We classify the industry, assign specialist agents, and you watch the workflow run and produce the visual deliverables — maps, dashboards, charts, tables and reports — instead of one block of text.

Demo mode uses clearly labelled sample data — never presented as verified.

Solution blueprint

Operational context

Industry challenges

  • Operational data for architecture, cad and bim is spread across disconnected systems
  • Analysis-heavy work is repeated manually every cycle
  • Risks and exceptions are found late
  • Reporting and audit overhead grows with volume
Solution patterns

Recommended AI solutions

  • Specialist agents that own one step of the workflow each
  • Grounded retrieval over your permitted systems only
  • Predictive scoring with explainable reasons
  • Approval-gated execution into your systems of record
Governance controls

Security and compliance

  • Row-level security scopes every read to the requesting organisation
  • Retrieval is limited to documents the user may already open
  • Every agent action, tool call and approval is written to the audit log
  • Sensitive steps pause until a named human approves them

Inputs, integrations and outputs

Inputs

  • • DWG / DXF drawings
  • • IFC models
  • • MEP schedules
  • • Design standards and codes

Integrations

  • • Revit / ArchiCAD exports
  • • AutoCAD
  • • Common data environment
  • • Cost estimating tools

Outputs

  • • Clash and issue report (PDF, CSV)
  • • Quantity take-off (CSV)
  • • Code compliance summary (PDF)

Business outcomes to baseline and measure

Analysis cycle time

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

Manual review effort

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

Decision auditability

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

Earlier risk detection

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

No performance result is promised before a baseline is measured. Targets are agreed for each engagement and reported against real delivery data.

How This AI Agent Works

The process the architecture, cad and bim agent team follows, from trigger to approved deliverable.

CAD and BIM generation workflow

From plot requirements to an approved drawing and BIM package.

Workflow preview

Saved with the run so the recorded execution trail shows what was asked. Demonstration runs use sample data. They do not touch your systems.

Workflow summary as a text list
  1. 1. Plot and requirements: Input. Plot dimensions, programme and constraints.
  2. 2. Apply regulations: Validation. Check setbacks, coverage and height rules.
  3. 3. Generate space plan: AI agent. Produce a compliant space allocation with areas.
  4. 4. Create 2D geometry: Approved tool. Generate the drawing geometry and dimensions.
  5. 5. Synchronise 3D model: Approved tool. Build the matching 3D/BIM model from the same geometry.
  6. 6. Clash and rule checks: Validation. Run clash detection and rule validation.
  7. 7. Architect and engineer approval: Human approval. A licensed professional approves before issue. Human approval required.
  8. 8. Drawing and BIM package: Output. DXF drawing, IFC/GLB model and the check report.

Approval gate: Architect and engineer approval. Deliverable: 3D model.
