SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enhances ForemanOS construction plan processing by strengthening the extraction, cross-reference resolution, and takeoff data generation from complex drawings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-pass discipline prompts: classify pages and tailor vision prompts for architectural, structural, MEP, and civil drawings.
  • Cross-reference & sheet continuity: link bubbles, sections, and notes across sheets to improve RAG context and aggregation of quantities.
  • Symbol recognition & CSI mapping: leverage the symbol library to identify drawing icons and map them to CSI MasterFormat sections for specification tracing.
  • Takeoff-ready data: produce structured material takeoff context (dimensions, areas, counts) with waste factors and validation checks.

Quick Start

Run the skill against a representative set of project drawings (A-201 floor plan, S-101 foundation plan) to generate cross-sheet references and takeoff-ready data.

Frequently Asked Questions about construction-plan-intelligence

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract construction takeoff data from architectural and MEP drawings?

You can extract construction takeoff data by applying two-pass discipline prompts to architectural, structural, and MEP drawings, which produces structured material quantities, dimensions, areas, and counts with validation checks and waste factors.

What is cross-reference linking in construction plan drawings?

Cross-reference linking connects bubbles, sections, and notes across multiple sheets to improve RAG retrieval context and enable accurate aggregation of material quantities across the full drawing set.

Does this construction plan extraction approach support CSI MasterFormat mapping?

Yes, the extraction process leverages a symbol library to identify drawing icons and automatically maps them to CSI MasterFormat sections, enabling precise specification tracing across the project.

How do I track revisions and deltas across multiple construction sheets?

Construction plan intelligence implements revision tracking and delta analysis across sheets, linking cross-references and maintaining sheet continuity to support accurate takeoff assembly and specification linkage.

Can I use RAG retrieval on complex structural and civil drawings?

Yes, applying tailored vision prompts classifies pages by discipline and extracts reliable RAG retrieval context from complex structural, civil, architectural, and MEP drawings for downstream analysis.

What is the best way to automate material takeoff calculations from construction plans?

Automating material takeoff calculations is best achieved by applying two-pass discipline prompts to classify drawing pages, resolving cross-references, and generating structured takeoff-ready data with validation checks and waste factors.
