DXF
Editable CAD geometry, layer-clean.
AI for building-services engineers
Architecture in. Engineering out.
Upload your architect's drawing. DraftsMan reads every room and drafts the coordinated set — lighting, small power, fire — as real DXF, DWG, PDF and IFC, to the standards you work to.

01See it work
Watch a plan become a drawing set.
Upload the architect's drawing, ask for the engineering in a sentence. DraftsMan reads the floor and lays it out across every room — live, in front of you.

02The status quo
The engineering is the value. The drafting is the tax.
MEP drawings are still produced by hand — slow, repetitive, and easy to get wrong. Senior engineers spend their hours pushing lines instead of making decisions, and every revision multiplies the rework.

03How it works
Their plan in. Your set out.
01
Upload the architecture
Drop in the architect's floor plan — DWG, DXF, PDF or IFC. A whole floor, not one room.
02
DraftsMan reads every room
It synthesises the spaces, areas and circulation across the floor — the way a senior engineer would size up a plan.
03
Chat the engineering out
Ask for lighting, small power or fire. It reasons to the standards, lays it out across the floor, and exports DXF · DWG · PDF · IFC.
04The output
This isn't a mockup. It's your drawing set.
What comes out is real, coordinated geometry — laid out across every room. Open it in your CAD, mark it up, federate it in BIM, hand it to the contractor.
DWG
Native AutoCAD, ready to issue.
Sheets to review, mark up and print.
IFC
Coordinated BIM for the federated model.
05What it drafts
A widening set of disciplines.
Lighting
Layouts, lux levels and emergency coverage to BS EN 12464 / CIBSE.
Small power
Socket layouts, dedicated supplies and circuit grouping.
Fire alarm
Detector and sounder coverage, zoned to BS 5839.
Earthing
Earthing and bonding to BS 7671 / IEC 60364.
Single-line diagrams
Distribution boards, risers and protection coordination.
and more, shipping
New disciplines land continuously as the engineering library grows.
06Why you can trust it
Built to the bar your stamp requires.
Grounded in the standards
Every decision is worked to the codes you're accountable for — BS 7671, IEC 60364, BS EN 12464, CIBSE — and cites the clause.
Real engineering reasoning
Not a template fill. DraftsMan reasons through sizing, layout and compliance, and shows its working so you can check it.
An audit trail you can defend
Inputs, assumptions and outputs are captured for every drawing — so a reviewer, or a regulator, can follow the logic.
07Who it’s for
For the practice — and the engineer.
For firms & practices
Multiply your team’s output and protect your standards across every project.
- Clear a drafting backlog without adding headcount
- Standardise output to your house standards and the codes
- Keep senior engineers on judgement, not linework
- An audit trail for every drawing your practice issues
For individual engineers
Do a day's drafting before your coffee's cold.
- Produce a coordinated set in minutes, not days
- Work to the standards you already design to
- Export straight into your CAD — DXF / DWG / IFC
