RFI Bounding Box
RFI AI Annotator automates architectural RFI review by using document intelligence, language models, and drawing analysis to map council requests to relevant plan areas and generate annotated PDFs, helping architects identify issues, revise designs, and manage compliance faster.
THE PROBLEM
Council RFIs often require architects to manually interpret each request, find the relevant area in complex drawings, and decide which issues need priority attention. As RFI volume grows, this slows reviews, creates inconsistent prioritization, and adds administrative overhead, especially when issues lack clear visual context.
AILEVATE'S SOLUTION
We developed an AI annotation engine that connects council RFIs to architectural drawings. Users upload an RFI document and drawing, and the platform extracts requests, identifies referenced design elements, locates matching objects, and generates annotated PDFs with callouts, priorities, regulation references, and manual-review flags for uncertain matches.
Core Capabilities
AUTOMATED ANALYSIS
Extracts and processes individual RFIs directly from council-issued documentation.
SMART ANNOTATIONS
Automatically identifies relevant locations within architectural drawings and applies visual annotations directly onto the design.
SMART HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights affected design elements through precise visual callouts, allowing architects to immediately understand where action is required.
REGULATORY MAPPING
Each annotation can include direct references to applicable planning regulations and supporting documentation, reducing the time required to locate compliance requirements.
