Project Base Point builds custom tools that let structural, civil and mechanical engineering firms produce, check and issue drawings in a fraction of the time. Off-the-shelf tools aren't built around your drawing standards or naming conventions — that's how our service stands out from the rest. With a decade of structural engineering experience behind us, you're not in the hands of an AI chatbot, but a professional in the industry.
Read in conjunction with your last fee proposal. Any discrepancies to be reported to the engineer immediately.
Exporting, renaming, sheet setup, rev tracking, issue packaging — hours of skilled time spent on tasks a script does in seconds, on every job, every issue.
Agentic AI is moving into drawing production and checking. Firms that haven't standardised and automated their workflows won't be able to plug it in when it lands.
IT consultancies don't know what a rev cloud is. Software vendors don't know your deliverables. The gap is someone who has sat in the chair and shipped the drawings.
A free 30-minute call, then a free 2–3 hour workflow workshop over Teams. We map every repetitive workflow, listen to how your office actually works, and follow up within days with a costed report showing exactly what to automate and what it's worth per year.
Revit add-ins and utilities built to your standards and client naming conventions — batch exporters, issue packagers, revision managers, drawing scanners, QA checkers. Installed, documented, and adopted by your team.
Practical AI inside real workflows: drawing note QA, spec cross-checking, model auditing, and document intelligence — deployed with guardrails, and only where it beats the manual process.
An extension of our service, available once we've delivered your first Build — new tools built at your request, included in the price, plus ongoing support, updates when Revit versions change, and a direct line for your technicians.
Built and battle-tested inside a working structural engineering practice, and built to transfer directly to civil and mechanical drawing offices — not demo-ware.
One-click batch export with per-client naming conventions — including major infrastructure clients with strict document standards. Hours per issue reduced to minutes.
Scans years of issued documentation, identifies the current revision of every drawing, and packages a clean set — a task that took an afternoon now takes seconds.
Detaches, purges, strips links and packages issue-ready models with date-stamped naming — repeatable, consistent, and impossible to get wrong.
Matches and renames deliverables by drawing number across formats, eliminating one of the most error-prone manual steps before issue.
| Rev | Stage | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | Consult | Free 30-minute call over Teams. We hear how your drawing office runs and what's slowing your technicians down. | FOR COMMENT |
| P2 | Workshop | 2–3 hour workflow workshop over Teams. Full workflow mapping, a look at tools we've already built, and time to hear your team's needs and preferences. | FOR COMMENT |
| P3 | Propose | We go away for 2–3 days to cost it properly, then reconvene over Teams to walk through exactly what we propose to build and why. | FOR APPROVAL |
| C1 | Build | Once agreed, allow 2–3 weeks build time. Tools built to fixed scope, tested against your live projects and standards. | FOR CONSTRUCTION |
| C2 | Demo | Final demonstration call — see the tools running against your real drawings before rollout, plus documentation and training. | AS BUILT |
A conservative worked example. Take just three small repetitive tasks a technician runs a few times a week — the kind every drawing office already has.
| Basis | Before | After automation | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per task | ~10 min | ~2 min | 8 min |
| Per technician / week 3 tasks × 3 times/week |
90 min | 18 min | 72 min |
| Team of 10 / month | 60 hours | 12 hours | 48 hours |
| Cost / month @ £50/hr avg. technician rate |
£3,000 | £600 | £2,400 |
That's not extra capacity you have to find — it's capacity your technicians already have, currently spent on unskilled repetition instead of the modelling work that actually needs them. Savings scale directly with team size and with how many workflows get automated; this example stops at three.
Tell us the task your technicians complain about most. We'll tell you on the call whether it's automatable, roughly what it would cost, and what it's costing you now.
