Digitised pre-demolition audit tool

This session will focus on automated digital tools for converting paper-based drawings into interactive BIM. It will explore how AI-driven workflows and computer vision techniques can transform unstructured 2D information into interoperable BIM models. A central challenge addressed in this session is the discrepancy between as-drawn documentation and the as-built reality – a critical issue in existing buildings.

The session will highlight practical applications in refurbishment, repurposing, deconstruction, and demolition, demonstrating how these tools reduce manual effort, improve data consistency, and support circular construction objectives.
