DesignFlow Build
AI Construction Software That Does the Manual Work
From reading plan sets to predicting delays, DesignFlow Build uses AI across the whole project — eliminating roughly 70% of the manual work contractors do every day.
Most "AI" in construction software is a chatbot bolted onto a legacy product. DesignFlow Build is AI-native: the same intelligence that reads your plan legends and detects MEP symbols also predicts schedule risk, processes change-order emails, and drafts executive summaries — so your team spends time on judgment, not data entry.
AI blueprint takeoff
Upload a PDF plan set and, in one run, the AI reads your legends, detects every symbol and run across the MEP, sheet-metal, and low-voltage trades, reads and counts the schedules printed on the plans, and produces a bill of quantities and a priced estimate — one click from a client-signable proposal.
Reads project-specific legends (M0.0, E0.0)
Reads and counts schedules on the plans, tag by tag
200+ term MEP vocabulary with CSI codes
Priced estimate and proposal, with a verifiable 3D model to check the counts
AI estimating and bid day
The AI processes plans and specs in minutes, auto-generates RFPs, and scores bids on risk — turning days of takeoff and coordination into a fast, repeatable workflow.
Spec-book reading in minutes
Auto-generated RFPs and vendor tracking
Risk-scored bid comparison
Predictive project intelligence
AI monitors every project for schedule slippage, cost overrun, and resource conflicts, and surfaces the issues early enough to act on.
Delay prediction weeks ahead
Cost-overrun and margin alerts
Automated weekly executive summaries
AI document and email processing
Change orders, RFIs, and project emails are read, classified, and routed automatically, so nothing falls through the cracks and your inbox stops being the system of record.
Automatic data extraction from documents
Change-order and RFI processing
Voice-assisted field data entry
Frequently asked questions
The AI uses your project’s own legends plus a 200+ term MEP vocabulary, and flags low-confidence detections with validation warnings for human review rather than hiding them. You stay in control; corrections feed back to improve future projects.
Mechanical/HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and sheet metal — the MEP disciplines, with trade-aware detection that distinguishes, for example, pipe tees from duct tees.
No. The AI runs inside normal estimating and project workflows; you upload plans and review results. Implementation takes 2-4 weeks with guided onboarding.
