AI-Enhanced Engineering

How we use AI to deliver better engineering — not shortcuts

AI at TR Build is not a separate "product." It's an integrated layer across our workflows that helps engineers process drawings, documents, and data faster and more consistently, while keeping all decisions in human hands.

Our AI Workflow in One View

Every project passes through our AI layer for pre-processing and quality checks before and after human review.

1
Ingest
Drawings, specs, RFIs, BOQs
2
Pre-process
AI extraction, tagging, summarizing
3
Engineer Review
Human decisions & validation
4
AI Quality Checks
Anomaly detection
5
Deliverable
Final output & dashboards

AI Use Cases

Detailed examples of how AI enhances our engineering delivery

Drawing & Plan Intelligence
We use AI to read multi-page PDF drawings and help engineers focus their attention.
  • Identify HVAC components, symbols, and tags automatically
  • Suggest preliminary quantities for rapid estimation
  • Highlight potential inconsistencies (e.g., schedule vs plan mismatches)
Automated BOQ Pre-Generation
Instead of manual tracing and counting from scratch, AI generates a first-pass BOQ.
  • Auto-listing ducts, pipes, equipment counts from drawings
  • Linking to standardized cost libraries for instant pricing
  • Flagging areas with low confidence for engineer review
Document Summarization & Search
Specs, RFIs, and large contracts often slow teams down. AI makes them searchable and digestible.
  • One-click summaries of long specification documents
  • Semantic search (e.g., "find all references to duct insulation")
  • Extraction of key clauses and requirements automatically
AI-Assisted Quality Checks
Before anything is sent to a client, we run automated checks to catch issues early.
  • Compare new estimates vs historical benchmarks for consistency
  • Detect unusual productivity, rates, or quantities that need review
  • Highlight missing scope elements before final submission

What This Means for You

Speed

Respond to more bids without burning out your internal team. Turn around estimates in days, not weeks.

Consistency

Standardized templates and AI checks reduce human variability across all your projects.

Transparency

Every AI step is logged and visible in our process, so you know exactly how we got to the final number.
