Podcast

Nomic CEO Andriy Mulyar joined Luigi La Corte (Provision), Mike Powers (BuildVision), and Andrew Zukoski (Join) on the Construction Technology Podcast.

This episode covers Nomic's pivot to verticalized AI for construction, and the broader question of how to build useful AI products in AEC. The conversation works through two paths: training custom models, or harnessing foundational ones. The panel gets into Rich Sutton's "Bitter Lesson", why the harness around the model does most of the heavy lifting in construction use cases, how to benchmark the full harness, the change management work that determines whether a rollout sticks, and why outcome-based billing becomes more plausible as these systems embed deeper into preconstruction workflows.

Out-of-the-box workflows on the platform

Put agents to work on critical AEC workflows, from reviewing drawings against codes to QA/QC and project research, using your drawings, specs, and project data.

Code Compliance Review of Drawings

Code Compliance Review of Drawings

Check drawings against 380+ building codes and standards anywhere you work in Nomic: Nomic agent chat, workflows, the workflow builder, and the API. Get cited answers with specific code references. No more digging through PDFs and standards manuals.

Automated Drawing Review

Automated Drawing Review

Catch errors in construction drawings and plans before they become costly rework. Nomic's Drawing Review agent checks every page of a drawing set or plan package against your firm's QA/QC standards, delivers cited PDF markups, and can send validated findings back to Autodesk Forma, Fieldwire, and Bentley ProjectWise as native issues.

Automated Submittal Review

Automated Submittal Review

Automate submittal review with AI that cross-references every package against your drawings and specs. Generate the project's starting submittal log from the full project manual. Nomic handles first-pass review and log setup so your team focuses on decisions, not document triage.

Firm-Wide Detail Search

Firm-Wide Detail Search

Give designers instant access to every detail your firm has ever drawn. Powered by Nomic Parse, search across thousands of drawings to find the exact detail you need, without digging through folder after folder.

Project Research

Project Research

Instantly access project-critical information, including drawings, specs, RFIs, and project documents, from a single research interface, and anticipate the RFIs that drawings and specs will generate before they hit the field.

AI for BIM & IFC Models

AI for BIM & IFC Models

Solve real tasks in your IFC and BIM models, without Revit, Navisworks, or a BIM specialist. The Nomic agent reads IFC files natively, extracts the full model into queryable tables, and runs quantity takeoffs, coordination checks, data validation, and space schedules on demand.
