Automatic Issue Descriptions – AI That Writes Defect Reports From Photos
Hustro AI analyses photos taken on construction sites and automatically generates structured defect descriptions - including defect type, location, severity and suggested responsible trade. Register a defect in seconds without typing a single word.
Manual issue registration
wastes time and creates inconsistent data
On construction sites and in industrial facilities, dozens of defects, non-conformances and technical observations are registered every day. Manual description takes valuable time - and differences in style, detail level and accuracy lead to unreliable data that is hard to analyse.
Time-consuming defect documentation
Site engineers and managers spend hours every day manually typing defect descriptions and locations - slowing down response times and delaying corrective actions.
Inconsistent language and style
Every team member writes issues differently - some too vague, others too technical. Without a standard format, comparing and analysing data across projects is unreliable.
Difficult trend analysis and reporting
When data is inconsistent, it cannot be analysed effectively. Valuable insight into recurring defect patterns, contractor performance and quality trends is lost.
Risk of errors and omissions
Under pressure, key information is easily missed - defect category, root cause or required corrective action. Incomplete records lead to wrong decisions and unresolved issues.
AI Automatic Quantity Takeoff – From Construction Drawings to Bills of Quantities in Minutes
-
Automatic element recognition from PDF, CAD and BIM drawings
AI scans construction drawings and automatically identifies structural elements, finishing components and building systems - no manual selection required.
-
Automatic material quantity calculation
Surface areas, volumes, linear metres and unit counts calculated automatically from the drawing - producing a structured bill of quantities ready for cost estimation.
-
Supports PDF, CAD and BIM file formats
The prototype works with the document formats your team already uses - no conversion or reformatting required before upload.
-
Automatic update when drawing revisions are uploaded
When a new drawing revision is uploaded, the AI detects changes and updates quantities automatically - eliminating the need to redo the takeoff from scratch.
-
Structured output ready for cost estimation
The quantity takeoff is exported in a structured format compatible with estimating software - ready for pricing without manual reformatting.
-
Configured for your project type and drawing conventions
The model is set up for your specific building type, drawing standards and element categories during the onboarding phase - improving accuracy over time.
Up to 90% less time on documentation,
more time on actual site work
-
Up to 90% time saving in the defect registration and description process
-
Standardised issue records - every description has the same structure and complete information, regardless of who registers it
-
Higher data quality - consistent records enable better trend analysis, pattern detection and reporting across projects
-
Faster corrective actions thanks to precise AI-generated remediation recommendations and trade assignments
-
Teams focused on solving problems - engineers spend time on site supervision and decision-making instead of paperwork
