DesignIQ
An AI pre-check tool that reads engineering drawings, flags compliance issues against a standards knowledge base, and hands a clean report to the reviewer.
The problem
Engineering teams lose days to administrative drawing checks: title blocks, revisions, tolerances, standard callouts. The work is repetitive, it is easy to miss something, and every error found late costs more than the check would have.
What we built
A web product where a drawing goes in and a structured check comes out. Upload a PDF, the pipeline classifies it, extracts the fields that matter and tests them against a standards knowledge base. Anything uncertain is flagged for a person rather than silently passed.
Why the AI sits inside a workflow
The AI is not a chatbot bolted to the side. It runs the check, produces the report and keeps the reviewer in control. Revisions can be re-checked and compared, so a team sees exactly what changed between drawing versions instead of re-reading both.
THE RESULT
A working product that turns a manual drawing review into a repeatable, auditable check with a person still holding the decision.
WHAT WAS DELIVERED
- AI pipeline for classification, extraction and compliance checks
- Standards knowledge base with retrieval (BS 8888, ISO 128 framing)
- Drawing revisions with re-run and side-by-side compare
- Multi-tenant accounts, teams, roles and subscription billing
- PDF storage, audit trail and checklist management
WHERE THIS USUALLY STARTS
One problem, fixed end to end.
Projects like this start the same way. We look at what is actually happening, find the part that costs the most time or loses the most enquiries, and build the smallest version that fixes it. You see it working within two to four weeks.
The route we would use here is AI integrations. If your version of this problem looks different, the first conversation is still the same: bring the messy process and we will tell you what is worth fixing first.

The next case study could be the process you keep doing by hand.
Bring us the handoff that keeps slipping. We will map it with the people doing the work and tell you what is worth fixing first.
