The Problem

In most small-to-medium interior projects, workers manually calculate required materials from blueprints, leading to frequent ordering errors. This causes construction delays, costs for disposing of surplus materials, and massive time waste communicating with dozens of suppliers via phone or messenger.

Why Now

With recent spikes in raw material and labor costs, cost reduction and efficiency at construction sites have become essential for survival. Simultaneously, advancements in image pattern recognition and cloud data processing have created the technical foundation to accurately calculate areas and required materials from complex blueprints.
