AI Drafting for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction

Ask for the drawing and Nomic drafts it. Power plans, sprinkler layouts, framing plans, details, and schedules come back as DWG files on your layers and in your title blocks, checked against the code before your engineers and architects review and stamp them.

Overview

What AI drafting means on a live project

Most of a construction document set is production drafting: laying out the same typical room 112 times, picking up a round of redlines, re-coordinating MEP sheets when the architect issues new backgrounds, and keeping schedules in step with the plans. Firms turn down work because there are not enough hands to put those drawings out.

Nomic is a new source of drafting capacity for that work. It works in CAD on its own computer, reads the backgrounds, markups, cutsheets, and photos you attach, and draws the sheet the way your firm has drawn it before. Then it checks its own drawing against the code and the source documents and clouds everything it drew, so review starts with what changed.

Real DWG files
Layers, blocks, attributes, and xrefs you can edit, plot, and issue. Not pictures of drawings.
Your standards
Your CAD standards file, text and dimension styles, symbol library, and title blocks, plus how your firm drew the same thing on past jobs.
Checked before review
Each drawing is checked against the code editions you name, such as NEC, IBC, or NFPA 13, and against the backgrounds it was drawn from.
Your stamp
Engineers and architects of record review the clouded changes, make the final call, and issue the set.

How it works

From a sentence to a stamped set

  1. Step 1

    Ask for the drawing

    Say what the sheet needs to show and attach the backgrounds, markups, cutsheets, or photos. A sentence is enough to start.

  2. Step 2

    Nomic drafts it in CAD

    Nomic works in CAD on its own computer, on your layers and blocks, following how your firm drew the same thing before. It saves real DWG files to the project.

  3. Step 3

    Nomic checks its own work

    The drawing is checked against the code editions you name and the source documents. Everything Nomic drew is clouded, and open questions are listed.

  4. Step 4

    Your team reviews and stamps

    Your engineers and architects review the clouded changes, make the final call, and issue the set under their own stamp.

FAQ

Questions about AI drafting

AI drafting is using an AI agent to produce construction drawings: plans, layouts, details, schedules, and sheets. With Nomic, you describe the drawing and attach the backgrounds, and Nomic draws it in CAD as DWG files in your standards, then checks it against the code before your team reviews it.

Yes. Nomic works in CAD on its own computer and saves DWG files with your layers, blocks, text styles, and title blocks. You open them in AutoCAD or any DWG editor like any other drawing on the project.

Architecture, structure, MEP, and fire protection. Common starting points are power and lighting layouts, ductwork, plumbing, sprinkler layouts, test fits, details in your house style, schedules, redline pickup, and existing conditions drawings.

No. Nomic is not installed inside your CAD or BIM software. It drafts on its own computer and hands back DWG files, schedules, and change lists. Teams that model in Revit link the DWGs into the model or use the change list to update it.

Your licensed professionals are. Nomic does the drafting and checks its own work, then hands the drawings back with every change clouded. The engineer or architect of record reviews, makes the final call, and stamps the set.

Generative design explores many design options from rules and goals, usually early in a project. AI drafting produces the construction drawings a team issues: the layouts, details, schedules, and sheets in the firm's standards, checked against the code the project is designed to.

Yes. Every firm runs in its own environment, and Nomic is SOC 2 Type II with data hosting in the US, EU, UK, and Australia. Your drawings are used for your projects only.
