Building the Intelligence Layer for Construction

Construction Intelligence
From the Ground Up

We don't just apply generic AI. We build the core technology stack— Knowledge Graphs, Digital Twins, and Domain-Trained Foundation Models.

Indian Structural Codes, Made Machine-Executable

Vidhi converts India's structural design codes — IS 456, IS 800, IS 1893, IS 13920 and 11 more — into a queryable, executable knowledge graph. Engineers run clause-cited compliance checks and download calculation sheets showing every formula with values substituted.

Source of Truth

VAULT

The document layer. Source IS code PDFs with their full amendment history, processed by a vision-AI extraction pipeline that reads even scanned, image-only standards documents.

Knowledge Graph

CODEX

The structured knowledge graph. Every clause is captured with its formula, variable definitions, cross-references and supersession links — so the design authority chain across codes is machine-traversable.

Compliance Engine

AI_Structure

The compliance engine. 536 callable clause checks across 9 structural check types — from RC beams to wind loads — each returning pass/fail, utilisation ratio and the governing clause.

Vidhi is an internal R&D platform in engineer-validation phase. Pilot collaborations with structural engineering firms are planned.

No other tool in the Indian market combines clause-cited IS-code checking with auto-generated calculation sheets.

Published Foundations

Built on Peer-Reviewed Ontologies

BIMSaarthi's products stand on peer-reviewed, published ontologies — academic priority that competitors cannot shortcut.

IproK

Published · IJCM 2025

OWL 2 DL ontology covering all 10 PMBOK knowledge areas plus 8 India-specific construction processes — a peer-reviewed semantic backbone for project management knowledge.

BIMOnto

Published · ITcon 2025

Semantic BIM bridge linking IFC building elements to project data, so models and management information speak the same machine-readable language.

SUTRA

Provisional Patent Filed

212-class semantic urban twin reference architecture powering HDTP — a formal vocabulary for representing cities, infrastructure and their live data streams.

Open-core approach: ontologies published for academic use; platform implementations proprietary.

How We Build
Deep Intelligence

Generic AI doesn't understand construction. We train our models on a structured stack of domain knowledge, ensuring they understand the difference between a "beam" in software and a "beam" in concrete.

Compliance Across Every Stage

Compliance is not a checklist. It is a continuous process that must adapt as projects evolve, ensuring every deviation is recorded.

R&D Project · ProcureAI · Patent Filed

Auditable AI for Public Procurement

ProcureAI extends BIMSaarthi's tender intelligence to the government side of the table — a multi-agent platform for the public procurement lifecycle, grounded in a curated knowledge base of canonical procurement rules and designed for on-premise, sovereign deployment.

Tender Drafting

AI-assisted drafting grounded in canonical procurement rules, with human-in-the-loop review gates at every step.

Validation & Evaluation

Pre-publication document validation and structured bid evaluation with citation-backed, auditable findings.

Telugu-First Access

Bidder-facing assistance designed Telugu-first — lowering the language barrier in public procurement.

Audit by Design

Hash-chained audit logging and citation-enforced answers, built for the audit standards of public finance.

Patent application filed — Indian Patent Office, May 2026

ProcureAI is a technology demonstration developed through BIMSaarthi's R&D program. It is not yet in production use; pilot conversations with government stakeholders are in preparation.
