Federal Ministry of Economy Research Project
SDaC Smart Design and Construction
Pattern detection in a building model
Intelligent planning and realization of buildings through artificial intelligence AI.
Smart Design and Construction Research Project
„Smart Design and Construction“ (SDaC) is a digital platform that brings together the fragmented construction industry and enables collaboration across data and companies.
On the one hand, artificial intelligence (AI) methods make data from individual companies interoperable, and on the other hand, AI applications can use this data to strengthen medium-sized businesses.
Efficiency, safety and sustainability are at the core of SDaC for a responsible and charitable development of AI in the construction industry. SDaC consists of a strong consortium with access to data from a large number of projects and a first sample of a use case.

SDaC AI application: Symbol recognition
SDaC AI application:
Symbol recognition
AI recognizes symbols on construction plans with an average probability of 90%
Potentials:
- Quickly create digital models of many existing buildings with analog plans.
- Simplify quotation creation by automatically counting symbols.
Manual counting
Combination of AI and user control
AI recognition
Time-consuming and expensive manual symbol recognition on analog construction plans
AI symbol recognition computer vision
and user control
AI recognizes symbols with an average probability of 90%
increase to 99% through continuous training of the AI

SDaC AI application: Image classification
SDaC AI application:
Image classification
Classify construction site images with AI and make them usable
Construction sites are regularly documented with images. These images lack useful meta information such as location or content information. Automated classification simplifies the inspection and documentation of the construction site.
After classification, the construction site images are transferred to Construction Management.
Site images
Combination of AI and user control
AI classification
Large data set of construction site images
Multi-label classification
Semi-supervised learning
AI classifies construction site images with an average probability of 65%
increase to 95% through continuous training of the AI
SDaC application with search and filter function
