Frequently Asked Questions

LignumAI Building is an AI-powered intelligence layer for construction and property projects. It reads, interprets, and indexes your project documents — drawings, specifications, compliance records, and more — so your team can search, query, and act on that information instantly, rather than spending hours manually cross-referencing files.

LignumAI Building is built for developers and project owners, building and facility managers, and franchise or multi-site operators. If your work involves managing large volumes of construction documentation or replicating builds across multiple locations, LignumAI Building is designed for you.

No. LignumAI Building acts as an intelligence layer over your existing documents and data — it doesn't replace your current tools. Think of it as giving your whole team instant, accurate answers from all your project documentation, without having to change how you store or manage files.

No. LignumAI Building is useful across the full building lifecycle — from design and construction through to ongoing facility management and future renovations. Every recommendation, change, and document update is stored, giving you a permanent, queryable record long after a project is complete.

LignumAI Building can process construction drawings, architectural and structural plans, mechanical and electrical specifications, compliance records, FF&E schedules, supplier documents, and more. If it's part of your project documentation, LignumAI Building can read and interpret it.

LignumAI Building tracks every revision and update automatically. You can query the full change history for any document or building element, compare revisions side by side, and understand exactly what changed, when it changed, and why — giving you a complete audit trail across the project lifecycle.

Yes. LignumAI Building automatically identifies inconsistencies, contradictions, and missing elements across your documents — for example, a dimension that conflicts between the architectural and structural drawings, or a specification item that references a superseded standard. Catching these early prevents costly problems on site.

Yes. All documents processed by LignumAI Building are handled with authenticated and authorized access controls. Your project data is never shared with other organisations, and access is strictly limited to your authorised team members.

Yes. LignumAI Building is built with role-based access in mind. You can control which team members can view, query, or manage documents at a project or building level, ensuring the right people have access to the right information.

Your project data is not used to train shared AI models. LignumAI Building's company-specific learning is scoped to your organisation — it learns your conventions, templates, and practices to deliver personalised intelligence for your team only.

Setup time depends on the volume of existing documents you want to import, but LignumAI Building is designed to get your team up and running quickly. During your demo, we'll walk through what onboarding looks like for your specific situation.

No. LignumAI Building is designed for project owners, building managers, and construction professionals — not software engineers. You interact with it by asking questions in plain language, the same way you'd ask a knowledgeable colleague.

The best way to get started is to request a demo. We'll walk through LignumAI Building using your own documents and use cases so you can see exactly how it works for your projects.
