Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the AI symbol detection? +
MEPdetect achieves 95%+ accuracy on standard MEP symbols using state-of-the-art YOLO11 object detection. For custom symbols, you can train the AI on your specific drawings to achieve even higher accuracy. The system continuously learns and improves with use.
What file formats do you support? +
We support PDF files (including multi-page plan sets), as well as common image formats including JPG, PNG, TIFF, and BMP. Whether you have scanned paper drawings, digital PDFs, or CAD exports, MEPdetect can process them. We recommend 300-400 DPI for best results with scanned documents.
Can I train the AI on my company's custom symbols? +
Yes! Professional and Enterprise plans include custom symbol training. Simply upload 20-50 labeled examples of your symbols, and our AI will learn to detect them. This is perfect for specialized equipment, company-specific CAD blocks, or non-standard fixtures. Training typically takes 1-3 hours.
How does MEPdetect integrate with my existing workflow? +
MEPdetect exports to Excel, CSV, and JSON formats that work seamlessly with popular estimating software like ConEst, Accubid, and McCormick. Professional and Enterprise plans include direct integration with BIM platforms like Revit and AutoCAD. You can also use our API to build custom integrations.
Is my project data secure and private? +
Absolutely. All drawings are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties, and you maintain full ownership of all uploaded files and results. Enterprise plans can be deployed on-premise for maximum security. We're SOC 2 Type II compliant and take data privacy seriously.
