Construction SaaS

Drawing analysis inside a SaaS product

Their users were already uploading plans. We built the service that turned those uploads into rooms, areas and element records inside their product, under their branding.

Rooms, dimensions and areas as records rather than a marked-up PDF — the shape of what their product received. Our own output on a comparable sheet.

The problem they had

The feature had been requested repeatedly, and building it in-house meant hiring a computer vision team for a capability outside their core product. They wanted the capability without the org chart.

What came in

User-uploaded architectural PDFs and DXF exports, with the variability that implies.

What went out

A REST service returning JSON in their schema, deployable into their own cloud account.

What we built

  • A containerised analysis service with a queue for asynchronous jobs
  • A REST interface using their field names rather than ours
  • Room, area and element extraction mapped to their existing data model
  • Per-field confidence, so their product could gate what it showed users

What changed

  • A working integration into their product surface, with nothing in the output naming us
  • Confidence per field, which let them show high-confidence values and hold the rest for review
  • A clear picture of what tuning their real upload mix would require before a wider rollout

Where it stopped

It was proved on a sample of uploads rather than run at production volume. Going further would have meant tuning on their live upload mix — which is genuinely varied, because their users send whatever they have.

Your drawings are not these drawings

Which is exactly why this project is only so much use to you. Send one sheet from your own set and we will tell you what our models make of it before anyone talks about a project.
  • One sheet is enough — PDF, DXF or a scan
  • Back in about 2 business days, with an annotated overlay
  • No call required, NDA on request

Send us one sheet

We run it through our floor plan models and send back the extracted data with an annotated overlay, so you can see what comes off your own drawings before anyone books a call.

  • Back in about 2 business days
  • PDF, DXF or a scan
  • NDA on request
This is our base model, before any tuning for you. On a paid project we train it further on your own drawings, which is where the rest of the accuracy comes from. So this shows you the starting point, not the best we can do.
