What It Does
Merexa's AI engine reads construction drawings and reinforcement schedules, extracts bar marks, identifies structural elements (footings, slabs, beams, columns, walls) and estimates total tonnage — with confidence scoring, validation checks and a detailed confidence breakdown by factor. Historical project benchmarks compare your estimate against similar completed projects with similarity scoring and variance analysis. The AI learns from every confirmed or corrected extraction via the self-learning Knowledge Base, continuously improving accuracy. Multi-page PDFs are handled with automated chunking and parallel page-by-page extraction, and every run is saved with a full snapshot for comparison and rollback.
How It Works
Upload Drawings & Schedules
Upload structural drawings and reinforcement schedules — multi-page PDFs are chunked automatically.
AI Identifies Documents
AI detects drawing types, scales, grid systems, revision history and cross-references.
Extract Bar Marks
AI extracts bar marks from schedules and locates them on the plan with text-layer verification.
Estimate Tonnage
AI calculates tonnage by element category with confidence scores and validation checks.
Benchmark & Review
Historical benchmarks compare your estimate against similar projects — review, adjust and accept the BOQ.
