Automating Documentation and Cost Estimates from Building Surveys
An AI-powered system automating the path from building survey to documentation and estimate: it processes point clouds, recognizes structures and defects, calculates work quantities, and generates documents.
The task
Automate the path from surveying a building to documentation and cost estimates. Connect the geometry of the object, recognized structures, defects and work quantities in a single system.
From survey to building model
The system accepts point clouds and photographs and evaluates survey density and coverage. AI models segment the cloud into structural classes and recognize elements in the images.
Recognition results from photographs are projected onto the point cloud using capture coordinates and depth. Detected defects are tied spatially to building elements.
Documentation and calculations
Geometry, structures and defects are used to calculate work quantities, prepare the cost estimate and produce drawings. A three-dimensional viewer makes it possible to check source data and processing results in one environment.
The end-to-end process is in place. Recognition and document formatting are being refined.
