- Blueprints AI says that when users upload a 2D sketch or PDF, it can produce drawings usable for building permit applications within minutes. According to the company, the product automates part of the drafting work. - The 2 generation product creates architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and interior design drawings all at once. When one part of the design changes, all drawings are updated together, and the article reports that it checks compliance with local building codes. - Founder Al Dram said architects spend about 80% of their working time on drawing work and about 20% on design. This is the founder's own claim, and the source does not show that it was confirmed by a separate study.

Before the claim about reducing drawing work 80%, the condition that generated drawings must be reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional catches the eye first. The time actually saved will probably depend on how much needs fixing, but the article has no example of a permit passing, so readers can only take that part on the founder's word. If you work at a design office or a development company, I wonder whether you first tried putting in one past project sketch to check whether the local code review results are correct.
