Who is workflow automation for?
It is for teams that repeat the same documentation and checking tasks on every project:
- Architects producing area statements, compliance checks and specifications
- Structural and MEP engineers preparing calculation reports, schedules and coordination checks
- Quantity surveyors and estimators preparing BOQs
- Project managers handling RFIs, submittals and progress reports
- Tender teams assembling large document sets under deadline
What problems does it solve?
- Hours lost to repetitive drafting. The same paragraphs, tables and calculations are rebuilt on every project.
- Errors under deadline pressure. Manual quantity and compliance checks are where mistakes creep in.
- Slow responses. RFIs and client reports wait in queues because senior people are busy.
- Inconsistent outputs. Different team members produce documents in different ways.
What do you get?
A working automated workflow for your highest-value task, a review checklist so outputs are always verified, and measured before-and-after results.
| Who it's for | Teams that repeat the same documentation and checking tasks on every project |
|---|---|
| Typical workflows | BOQ and quantity takeoff, FAR and setback checks, RFIs, specifications, tenders, progress reports |
| Outputs | A working automated workflow, a review checklist, and before-and-after time measurements |
| Duration | 6–10 weeks per workflow |
| Team | Led by Ar. Vivek Bhati, with AI, software and BIM specialists as the project needs |
How does it work?
- Choose the workflow — usually from an AI readiness assessment or a short scoping call.
- Map the current process step by step, including who checks what.
- Build the automation using your templates, standards and data.
- Pilot on live projects and measure time saved and errors caught.
- Hand over with documentation and training, then scale to other teams.
Which tools do you use?
We are tool-neutral. Some workflows use general AI models; others work best inside BIM data exported as IFC or DXF — see BIM and data integration. Our own product, aecoviz, includes FAR, coverage and egress checks and indicative BOQs, and may suit some firms:

Frequently asked questions
Which AEC workflows can AI automate today?
- The best candidates are repetitive and rules-based, such as drafting BOQs from quantities, checking FAR, ground coverage and setbacks, writing first drafts of RFIs and specifications, assembling tender documents, and summarising site reports.
Will AI replace our estimators or architects?
- No. The aim is to remove repetitive drafting so qualified people spend their time checking and deciding. Every automated output is reviewed by a professional before it is issued.
How accurate are AI-generated BOQs and compliance checks?
- Accuracy depends on the quality of your drawings and data, which is why we measure results against your current process during a pilot. AI outputs can be wrong and must always be verified before issue.
Do we have to change our software?
- Usually not. We start from the tools you already use and add automation around them. Where a new tool would clearly help, we explain the trade-offs before recommending it.
How do you measure the benefit?
- We time the workflow before and after automation on real projects, and track errors found in review, so you can see the hours saved and decide whether to scale it.
What does automation cost?
- We quote a fixed fee for each workflow after scoping it with you. It depends on the workflow, your data and the tools involved.
