Civils.ai is a Construction Tech startup headquartered in Singapore building artificial intelligence tools tailored for the civil engineering and construction industries. It uses advanced machine learning to automate repetitive, detail-heavy tasks that traditionally bog down pre-construction workflows—like extracting quantities from PDF plans and CAD drawings, performing compliance and contract spec checks, and structuring technical data into usable formats. Users upload documents and simply type natural-language prompts (e.g., “measure floor areas by type”) to get accurate measurements, marked-up annotated plans, and structured outputs (CSV, Excel, PDF). The platform aims to drastically cut time spent on manual takeoffs, data extraction, and research, empowering civil engineers, estimators, and construction teams to focus on design decisions instead of paperwork. Civils.ai was founded in 2022 by Stevan Lukic and a small core team and has been piloted by global AEC firms seeking to modernize estimation, compliance checking, and pre-construction processes.
