Spacial
AI-generated structural, MEP, and energy engineering plans reviewed and stamped by licensed engineers
Combines AI-driven 3D structural and MEP modeling with licensed professional engineer review to deliver code-compliant, stamped residential construction plans in days rather than weeks. Currently delivered as an engineering service ("Spacial Services") staffed by in-house licensed PEs; a self-serve software platform is in closed beta with a waitlist.
Why This Tool Exists
Residential structural and MEP engineering plan sets typically take 6-8 weeks to produce through traditional single-discipline workflows, with full permitting taking up to 27 weeks. Manual coordination between structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings is a major source of rework - the company cites coordination problems as responsible for roughly 30% of project waste, adding an estimated $30,000 in avoidable cost per project.
Spacial converts 2D architectural floor plans (PDF, DWG, Revit files) into a coordinated 3D structural and MEP model using graph neural network-based, physics-aware modeling that represents a building as connected systems (load paths, spatial relationships) rather than static drawings. The platform applies jurisdiction-specific building codes and Title 24 energy requirements and flags cross-discipline clashes - e.g., plumbing intersecting structural beams - before submittal. Spacial-employed licensed engineers then review, correct, and stamp every AI-generated plan set before delivery, cutting typical turnaround to 7-10 business days.
How You Use It
Data Transparency
Exactly what this tool uses and how
No public API; engagement is via project intake (Spacial Services) or a waitlist for the self-serve platform (closed beta)Use Cases
- ·Generating stamped structural engineering plans for single-family and low-rise multifamily residential projects
- ·Automated MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) layout and routing from 2D floor plans
- ·Title 24 / energy compliance documentation for California residential projects
- ·Pre-submittal clash detection between structural and MEP systems to reduce field rework
- ·Accelerating permit-ready plan delivery for ADU and residential developers (targeting 7-10 business days vs. an industry-typical 6-8 weeks)
