Node activity below is a demonstration using sample engineering and construction 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 engineering and construction 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

  • • Drawing registers
  • • IFC / BIM models
  • • Site photography and drone captures
  • • Programme and cost plans

Integrations

  • • Common data environment
  • • BIM authoring tools
  • • ERP cost control
  • • Site capture platforms

Outputs

  • • Progress and variance report (PDF, CSV)
  • • Coordination issue register (CSV)
  • • Quantity reconciliation (CSV, 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 engineering and construction agent team follows, from trigger to approved deliverable.

Drawing and specification review workflow

From an uploaded drawing to an engineer-reviewed annotated set and schedule.

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. Upload drawing or specification: Input. PDF drawing, DWG export or specification document.
  2. 2. File validation: Validation. Check sheet count, scale references and legibility.
  3. 3. OCR and classification: Approved tool. Read title blocks, notes and schedules.
  4. 4. Extract elements: AI agent. List elements, quantities and referenced standards.
  5. 5. Validate dimensions: Validation. Cross-check dimensions and quantities against the schedule.
  6. 6. Detect issues: Decision. Flag conflicts, missing details and standard deviations.
  7. 7. Engineer review: Human approval. A qualified engineer approves every flagged item. Human approval required.
  8. 8. Annotated drawing and schedule: Output. Annotated PDF, element schedule and issue list.

Approval gate: Engineer review. Deliverable: Annotated document.
