For construction, facilities, and real estate data teams
Bid sets, as-builts, and site photography abstracted into records that stay current across the portfolio.
Why it matters
The answers are already in your drawings. Nobody has the hours to go and find them.

Plan sets arrive shuffled by upload date and the current one becomes a guess. REAL identifies the live version, marks the rest superseded, and extracts only from the drawing that governs.

Architectural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical sheets are read and turned into structured records. What existed as a line on a drawing becomes a field you can filter, total, and check.

Parking counts, fixture schedules, square footage by use. A question that would mean opening thirty drawing sets returns an answer in seconds, with the source sheet cited for every figure.

Signage, flooring, roofing, and visible equipment identified from site photography, each with a condition assessment. Record completeness improves and the trip back to measure one thing stops being necessary.

A lease stating less area than the as-built shows is an exposure. One stating more is a recovery opportunity. Either way the drawing has to be readable first.

The REAL Suite
Each REAL agent is an expert in its domain, built to share context and act on what the others know. The more agents work in your portfolio, the more complete each one’s view of it becomes, and the stronger every decision your team makes.
Space & Asset Data
It does the takeoff and then keeps the result. A traditional takeoff produces quantities for one project at one moment and is rebuilt from scratch next time. REAL abstracts the same drawings into records that stay queryable across the portfolio, so the counts remain available for lease verification, asset registers, and later projects.
Version sequence and supersession are read from the sets themselves rather than from upload order. The current version is identified, earlier ones are marked superseded, and extraction runs only against the drawing that governs, which is the difference between a right answer and a plausible one.
Areas by type, door and window schedules, fixture and equipment counts, parking, and the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical records carried on the sheets. Every extracted value keeps a reference back to its source sheet, so any figure can be checked against the drawing.
Both, and the comparison between them is often where the value sits. Bid sets, permit sets, and as-builts are read the same way, and differences between them are surfaced, which is where unbilled scope and square footage disputes originate.
From site photography and survey imagery. Signage, flooring, roofing, and visible equipment are identified along with a condition assessment, which improves record completeness and reduces the repeat site visits manual capture requires.
Across the portfolio. A question about fixture counts or parking across thirty projects is answered from the abstracted records rather than by opening thirty sets, with source sheets cited for every figure.
No. Document management systems store and version drawings, and several were built for real estate rather than construction. REAL reads what is in them and turns the contents into records you can query, compare against leases, and hold asset data against.
REAL runs in a single tenant on your data, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, and your data is never used to train any model.
