AGPL-3.0
Self-host, own your data

Drawing to tender, end to end

From Revit/IFC/DWG takeoff through BOQ editing to tender packages and contract tracking — one connected data model, no Excel hand-offs.

Module system, not a monolith

Turn modules on and off as you grow. Ship a custom plugin in an afternoon — the stack is FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and clean Python you can read.

Built for AI agents

Open schema, documented API, and AI takeoff baked in. Wire up Claude, Cursor, or your own agent to automate estimation, validation and reporting.

Why AI Agents? Why Now?

 The way we work with data is changing.
No more relying on closed ecosystems, cloud-only APIs, or vendor lock-ins.

With AI Agents, you create automations tailored to your team, your data, and your goals.
Offline. Open-source. Extendable with Python, JS, AI, or any logic you need. This is not just a tool. It’s the foundation for a new kind of digital fluency in construction and design teams.

We don’t teach tools - we show
how to think in data and processes

Most civil design files are basically data prisons. Data Driven Construction fixes that. Their converters crack open these closed formats and give you structured data you can actually use—in Power BI, in Excel, or even in an LLM prompt if you're doing something fancy. It's not flashy, but it’s insanely useful.

Practice

We also move into practical application as needed. Using modern tools and techniques, we demonstrate how to solve data-related problems efficiently and effectively. The knowledge gained is immediately applied to real-world problems.

 

Main topics from which you can choose the ones you need: from data management to building n8n pipelines.

  • Data Mining: Extracting usable data from PDFs, Excel files, images, and other sources.
  • BIM and CAD: Gaining insights from RVT, IFC, DWG, and other file formats.
  • Data Quality: Ensuring your data is accurate, complete, and ready for automation.
  • Analytics and Transformation: Turning raw data into actionable insights and strategic ideas.
  • n8n and Systems Integration: Embedding data into workflows, databases, and documents to maximize efficiency.

Every step of the way, we discuss your real-world challenges, uncovering issues and opportunities specific to your team and organization. This personalized approach ensures that the training is directly relevant to your needs and immediately applicable to your work.
