Platform Overview

A Three-Layer Compliance Platform

BIM Pro AI is a Revit-integrated workflow platform for energy code compliance: deterministic calculations from your model, plus an AI layer scoped to explanation and citations from your supplied energy code documents — not a proprietary corpus hosted by us. Each layer is architecturally distinct by design.

Status: Phase 0 — informational site and architecture validation. Core engine and Revit plugin ship in Phase 1.

In development

Layer 1

Revit Integration

The Revit plugin is the entry point: it extracts envelope geometry, material assemblies, and relevant parameters directly from the model — eliminating manual re-entry and connecting the BIM source of truth to the calculation pipeline.

Designed to support

Building envelope surface extraction

Material and assembly data capture

Orientation and area calculations from model geometry

Export to the compliance engine in a structured format

Layer 2

Deterministic Compliance Engine

The compliance engine is the computational core. It applies rules-based logic derived from adopted energy code requirements and public code references to extracted model data, producing auditable calculation outputs for envelope prescriptive workflows.

This separation from the AI layer is deliberate: in regulated compliance workflows, the auditability of calculations is not optional — it is the product.

How the engine behaves

—Rules-based logic only — no LLM or probabilistic model participates in numeric compliance conclusions
—Outputs tie to extracted Revit inputs so values can be retraced to model geometry
—Designed for envelope prescriptive paths first; scope expands as the roadmap advances

Deterministic and explicit

All compliance math in this layer is deterministic and explicit. AI is not in the calculation path.

Fully traceable

Results are structured so reviewers can follow from a reported value to the inputs and governing provisions that produced it.

Review-ready output

Summaries are built for professional sign-off — not opaque scores or narrative-only conclusions.

Defensible under scrutiny

When a reviewer pushes back, your team can show the calculation trail and citations instead of regenerating spreadsheets from memory.

Layer 3

AI Knowledge Layer

The AI knowledge layer operates exclusively at the explanation level. It does not perform calculations, make compliance determinations, or generate conclusions from scratch.

Guardrails are built into the layer to prevent unsupported claims. The system is designed to explain what the calculation found — not to extend beyond it.

What it does

Users supply their own energy code documents. The system processes uploaded documents in-session to retrieve relevant provisions by section reference — no content is stored or indexed on BIM Pro AI servers

Retrieves relevant sections based on computed results from the compliance engine

Generates explanations that cite specific source language

Surfaces context for professional reviewers — not conclusions for permit submitters

What it doesn't do

Perform calculations · Make compliance determinations · Generate unsupported claims

Roadmap

Platform Direction

BIM Pro AI is in active development. Phase 0 establishes the technical foundation and validates the architecture with early stakeholders before building the core engine.

Phase 0 — Foundation

Current

—Architecture design and system specification
—Informational site and developer program registration
—Early stakeholder conversations and workflow mapping

Phase 1 — Core Engine

Planned

—Revit plugin MVP: building envelope surface extraction, material assembly capture, orientation and area calculation from model geometry
—Compliance engine: deterministic envelope calculations aligned with adopted prescriptive envelope requirements
—AI explanation layer: citation retrieval and explanation generation scoped to calculated results
—Structured output: review-ready compliance summary with traceable calculation log
—Target: architecture firms and MEP engineers managing envelope-heavy commercial projects

Phase 2 — Pilot Programs

Planned

—Pilot deployments with 3–5 early-access firms
—Review-ready report exports in PDF and structured data formats
—Expanded coverage: additional code sections beyond envelope §5.5 (e.g., mechanical and lighting) where supported by public-law references or user-supplied code documents
—IECC compliance path support
—Enterprise feedback loop: firm-specific configuration and workflow mapping
