AI agent for architects

Consultant Drawing Coordination Agent

Close every inter-discipline clash before construction documents are issued.

Consultant Drawing Coordination Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Clashes between the structural, mechanical and architectural drawings are cheap to fix on paper and costly on site. This agent collects the latest sets from each consultant and compares the locations of columns, shafts, openings and slab edges. It flags conflicts, assigns each an owner, and drafts a log you can send. When the next revisions arrive, it checks every logged item to see if it was closed, and finds any new clash the change created. You approve all messages to consultants. Edge case: a duct riser overlaps a column by 150 mm, and the agent tracks it across three revisions until the engineer moves it.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It tracks each clash by location and compares the new revision. A clash is closed only when the new drawing shows a clear gap.

  • Structural clashes rank above finish clashes
  • A clash is closed only on a new drawing
  • Overdue items are escalated after 2 revisions
  • New clashes from fixes are logged separately

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Clearance rule (default 50 mm)
  • Disciplines included
  • Priority ranking
  • Escalation after how many revisions
  • Format of the log

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Every message to consultants
  • Escalations

Hard limits

  • Never edits another consultant's drawings
  • Never marks an item closed without evidence
  • Keeps the log read-only for others

It stops when

  • Done: all items closed
  • Stop: clash needs a design decision; architect decides

An example run

What happensAt revision C, the agent found 12 clashes, including a 150 mm overlap between a duct riser and column B4. Revision D closed 9, but the riser was still clashing, and a new beam clashed with a door head. The check failed, so it kept both open and reminded the owners. Revision E closed both. The architect approved all messages.
