Could you build this?
Partial A web interface for review and manual takeoff can be vibe-coded, but automatically detecting and calculating structural concrete elements from complex blueprints requires specialized computer vision.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires high-resolution vector PDF parsing and specialized computer vision models (instance segmentation and object detection) fine-tuned on dense construction blueprints. The core difficulty is parsing overlapping vector layers, resolving varied architectural scales, extracting dimensions, and calculating accurate 3D concrete volumes from disparate 2D drawings and notes.
