Imagine you get a pile of messy 2D building drawings for pipes, ducts, and cables from different floors and disciplines. This system is like a very smart junior engineer that reads all those drawings together, understands how they connect, and automatically builds a clean 3D BIM model of the MEP systems for you.
Conventional creation of BIM models for MEP systems from legacy CAD drawings is slow, labor‑intensive, and error‑prone. Engineers must manually interpret many separate 2D drawings (plans, sections, different trades), reconcile inconsistencies, and then rebuild everything in 3D BIM. This approach automates most of that conversion and integration work.
Domain‑specific algorithms for interpreting MEP CAD drawings and integrating multiple drawings into a coherent graph, plus any labeled datasets and heuristics built from real project data form a defensible knowledge and data moat.

Handling highly heterogeneous, noisy legacy CAD standards and edge cases across many firms and geographies; performance and accuracy may drop on drawings outside the trained/inferred patterns.
Early Adopters
Unlike generic CAD-to-BIM converters, this work focuses specifically on MEP systems and on integrating information from multiple CAD drawings via a graph representation, allowing more reliable reconstruction of connected systems (pipes, ducts, cables) across plans and sections rather than treating each drawing in isolation.
