Survai

Live MEP detection and as-built deviation analysis from LiDAR scans

As-planned versus as-built

The expensive question on a construction project is not what the drawings say — it is where the building has quietly diverged from them. Survai reads LiDAR scans, detects mechanical, electrical and plumbing elements, and compares what was actually built against the DXF design intent.

Inference runs on CPU. There is no GPU requirement to get a result, which matters when the work happens on a site laptop rather than a render farm.

Survai runs inside the Netrun CAD workspace: the same service presents a Survai-first or CAD-first layout depending on which hostname you arrive on.

Capabilities

Live MEP detection

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing elements identified directly from scan data rather than traced by hand.

DXF deviation engine

Detected geometry compared against the DXF design intent, surfacing where as-built has departed from as-planned.

CPU-only inference

Runs without dedicated GPU hardware, so a result does not depend on specialist infrastructure.

Inside the CAD workspace

Integrated as a panel in Netrun CAD Web rather than a separate tool with its own import and export dance.
