Automated Structural and MEP Design
This application area focuses on automating the production of structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) designs and documentation for building projects. It ingests architectural plans, codes, and standards, then generates coordinated engineering calculations, layouts, and permit-ready drawing sets. The system continuously updates designs when upstream inputs change, maintaining consistency across disciplines and enforcing compliance with relevant building codes and engineering standards. It matters because traditional structural and MEP engineering workflows are labor-intensive, fragmented across multiple consultants, and prone to coordination errors that cause redesign cycles and permitting delays. By using AI to codify engineering rules, interpret drawings, and automate repetitive calculations and documentation, firms can compress design timelines, reduce rework, and deliver more predictable, compliant engineering output without scaling headcount linearly—improving both project economics and delivery reliability.
The Problem
“Your structural & MEP designs still break every time the architect changes a wall”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Weeks lost every time an architectural change forces manual redesigns
Structural and MEP consultants working in silos, leading to clashes and RFIs on site
Senior engineers stuck re-checking routine calcs and drawings instead of solving hard problems
