Client Success Story
Challenge
A 12-townhouse development required 47 separate trade work orders. The PM was spending 2 full days per project preparing instructions from plans.
Solution
BuilderHQ AI Plan Reading extracted all 47 scope items from the architectural and engineering plans, generated work orders, and sent them to contractors — all in under 20 minutes.
Result
PM time on work order prep reduced from 2 days to 20 minutes per project. Zero missed scope items across 8 consecutive projects.
Common Questions
What plan formats does it support?
BuilderHQ supports PDF, DWG, and DXF formats. Most architectural and engineering practices deliver in PDF — which is fully supported without any conversion.
How accurate is the AI extraction?
Accuracy depends on plan quality and complexity. For standard residential and commercial plans, we typically achieve 95%+ item capture. Every extraction goes through a human review step before work orders are sent.
Can it handle staged or multi-lot developments?
Yes. The platform supports multi-lot, multi-stage, and multi-storey developments. Each lot or stage can be managed independently within the same project.
