A better rule for construction AI: show the work

A plan takeoff is only useful if you can tell what came from the drawings, what was calculated, and what remains unknown.

1

Document control first

Before material calculations, BuildAHouse checks sheets and schedules for conflicting controlling values that can invalidate a budget.

2

Code calculates; AI extracts

AI is used to identify and normalize plan facts. Deterministic rules calculate supported quantities so results are repeatable and inspectable.

3

TBD beats hallucination

If required geometry, assembly details, engineering, or a governing revision is unavailable, the system returns TBD rather than a made-up answer.

This methodology is intended to improve early planning. It does not replace a licensed professional, final supplier takeoff, structural engineer, permit review, or construction contract.

BuildAHouse distinguishes plan evidence, calculation, assumptions, and unresolved questions—so you can make the next decision with your eyes open.
