Could you build this?
No A competitive offline architectural modeler with parametric BIM, live bill of quantities, and path-traced rendering needs geometry kernel, graphics engine, and BIM format expertise that vibe coding can't substitute for.
What it would actually take: This would need a native desktop app with a 3D geometry kernel supporting push/pull modeling and parametric walls and roofs, an IFC-compatible BIM data model, and a quantity-takeoff engine. Path-traced rendering needs a GPU ray-tracing engine and optimization work. Building it takes CAD, graphics, and architectural-software engineering teams working over years.
