AI Drafting for Interior Design and Tenant Fit-Outs

Interiors teams redraw the same floor three times before a lease is signed, then redraw it again when the tenant changes the headcount. Nomic drafts test fits, furniture plans, finish plans, and interior elevations as DWG files on the base building background, keeps the power and data plan matched to the furniture, and checks egress and accessibility before your designer reviews.

The problem

Test fits are fast to sketch and slow to draw

A broker needs three test fits of a 24,000 square foot floor by Friday: one at 140 seats in an open plan, one with 30 private offices, and one with a larger amenity zone. Each option means placing workstations, counting seats, checking aisles and exits, and producing a clean plan a tenant can read, and two of the three will never be built.

Once a scheme is picked, the furniture plan drives everything else. Every workstation cluster needs power and data, so the furniture plan, the power and data plan, and the electrical engineer's E- sheets have to show the same feed locations. Millwork elevations carry the same outlet heights, and the finish plan has to agree with the finish schedule. Moving one cluster six feet touches four drawings, and the drawing that lags behind turns into a field question.

01 / Test fits

Test fits and furniture plans on the base building

Attach the landlord's base building DWG and the tenant program, and describe the scheme. Nomic lays out workstations, offices, conference rooms, and support spaces with your furniture blocks, counts seats against the program, and saves each option as its own DWG so the broker and tenant compare like with like.

  • Several schemes from one program and one base building
  • Seat counts and room tabulations drawn on the sheet
  • Furniture blocks from your library or the dealer's
02 / Coordination

Power, data, and millwork that match the furniture plan

Nomic draws the power and data plan from the furniture plan it drafted, tags floor boxes and furniture feeds, and draws interior elevations with receptacles, data outlets, and appliance cutouts at the heights the plan calls for. When a cluster moves, the change list tells your electrical engineer which feeds moved.

  • Floor boxes, poke-throughs, and furniture feeds at each workstation cluster
  • Millwork elevations with outlet heights and appliance clear spaces
  • A change list for the electrical engineer when furniture moves
03 / Check

Checked for egress and accessibility before the designer reviews

Nomic checks its own plans against the IBC and accessibility editions you name: aisle widths through the furniture, occupant load, accessible routes, clear floor space at millwork, and reach ranges at counters and controls. Finish tags on the plan are compared with the finish schedule and the flame spread classes the code requires for each space.

  • Aisles through furniture and accessible routes at 36" clear
  • Counter heights and knee clearance at pantry and reception millwork
  • Finish plan tags matched to the finish schedule and IBC 803 classes

Checked against

The code and documents behind every sheet

Name the editions the project is designed to and Nomic checks its own drawing against them before handing it back. Your engineer or architect of record makes the final call and stamps the set.

  • IBC Chapter 10 means of egress
  • IBC Chapter 8 interior finishes
  • 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
  • ICC A117.1
  • The landlord's building standards and tenant work letter

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

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Nomic lays out test fits on the landlord's base building DWG from the tenant program, with your furniture blocks and seat counts on the sheet. Each scheme is saved as its own DWG and checked for aisle widths and occupant load before the designer sends it to the broker.

Nomic draws the power and data plan from the furniture plan it drafted, so floor boxes and furniture feeds sit at the workstation clusters. When furniture moves, Nomic updates the plan, clouds the change, and writes a change list for the electrical engineer, who decides circuiting on the E- sheets.

Furniture creates the aisles people exit through, so IBC Chapter 10 applies, including the 36 inch minimum aisle in Group B and M occupancies in Section 1018.3. The 2010 ADA Standards and ICC A117.1 set accessible route widths, clear floor spaces, and the accessible portion of counters and work surfaces.

Nomic is not a plugin for AutoCAD, Revit, or furniture software. It works in CAD on its own computer and saves DWG files that open in AutoCAD or any DWG editor. Teams that document interiors in Revit get DWGs and a change list a modeler can bring into the model.

No. Nomic is a new source of drafting capacity for the interiors team. Space planning judgment, finish and furniture selections, and the conversation with the tenant stay with your designer, and the final call on every sheet stays with the architect or designer of record.
