Automated design-rule checking and compliance layer for MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) drafting teams
A software system that enforces MEP code compliance and design standards in real-time during the drafting process, catching illegal fittings, missing cleanouts, and code violations before submission.
The problem
MEP drafting teams in AEC firms repeatedly miss code-compliance issues, illegal component placements, and missing infrastructure elements, forcing rework, client rejection, and permit delays; manual checklists and post-hoc review are slow and error-prone.
Who has it: MEP engineering and design firms with 20–200 employees and 10+ plumbing/mechanical drafters serving commercial real estate or light industrial clients.
Why now: CAD integration APIs (Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD) are now mature; building-code databases are digitized and queryable; computer-vision and rule-engine tech can now parse drafts at scale; MEP rework costs and permit rejections are rising.
