• Map model elements to specification codes and cost categories automatically
• Format outputs to company and FIDIC standards

3. Timeline & Schedule Automation

• Extract Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) from Revit model phases and AutoCAD drawing sets
• Integrate model data with scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project) via API or structured data export
• Build dashboards that reflect live project schedule status from BIM data

4. Shop Drawing Production

• Automate shop drawing generation at various levels of detail (LOD) directly from Revit models
• Build tools for automatic title block population, drawing numbering, and revision management
• Develop clash detection workflows using Navisworks API or equivalent
• Automate compliance checks against project specifications

5. Integration & Connectivity

• Connect Revit/AutoCAD outputs to Excel, Power BI, ERP, or project management platforms
