The challenge

Turning a few hundred drawing sheets into scope, a schedule and a cost is weeks of careful reading that a bid deadline usually shortens.

The scenario

A project manager receives 120 architectural, structural and MEP drawings on a Friday and needs a preliminary schedule and estimate for a Monday bid review.

What goes in

Architectural drawings
Plans, elevations and sections as issued.
Structural drawings
Framing, foundations and details.
MEP drawings
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts.

What you can ask

Illustrative prompts. Results depend on your own data and are not deterministic.

  • “Create a preliminary quantity takeoff from these drawings.”
  • “Build a WBS and project schedule from this drawing set.”
  • “Which sheets produced this concrete quantity?”

How Clearception approaches it

How the work is structured. Each step shows what its output is grounded in.

  1. Classify the sheets

    Observed

    Identify discipline, sheet type and revision across the set.

  2. Extract scope and quantities

    Observed

    Measure quantities and record the sheet and region behind each.

  3. Correlate disciplines

    AI-inferred

    Compare what each discipline says about the same space.

  4. Build work packages

    AI-inferred

    Group scope into a work breakdown with dependencies.

  5. Schedule and estimate

    Estimate

    Produce a dated schedule and a preliminary cost.

  6. Attach evidence

    Source

    Link every line back to the sheet that produced it.

What you get

The shape of what comes back — not a promised result.

  • Work breakdown structure

    AI-inferred

    Scope grouped into work packages with dependencies.

  • Traceable takeoff

    Observed

    Quantities with the sheet and region behind each figure.

  • Preliminary estimate

    Estimate

    A cost built from quantities and rates, with assumptions listed.

Why it matters

A plan before the deadline
The first pass exists early enough to shape the bid.
Numbers that survive review
Each figure opens onto the drawing behind it.
