About Bild AI

AI estimating & detailing for Division 8 doors, frames & hardware

Tech

We're building computer vision object detection models and coordinating these models. We're really focused on the intelligence-side more than the application-side, so it's a lot of ML and algorithm development.

The role

We founded Bild AI to tackle the mess that is blueprint reading, cost estimation, and permit applications in construction. It's a tough technical problem that requires the newest CV and AI approaches, and we’re impact-driven to make it more efficient to build more houses, hospitals, and schools.
