Autonomous design layer · construction

Floor plan in.
CAD-ready design out.

Cadwise replaces the offshore draughtsman with an AI rule engine. The same drawing that took a full working day — generated in under 15 minutes, with zero revision rounds.

The product, running in your browser.

Walk the full pipeline: upload → extract → detect zones → generate snail-pattern circuits → validate → export DWG.

The problem

A broken, outsourced workflow.

Every floor-heating layout is emailed to a draughtsman in the Philippines or India. One working day per drawing, three to four revision rounds, a week before a price even goes out. The faster competitor wins the job — every time.

The solution

Autonomous design in 15 minutes.

Upload a floor plan. Our proprietary rule engine encodes pipe spacing, zone logic, heating load and regulatory compliance — and returns a fully annotated, CAD-native drawing. No email. No waiting. No revision cycle.

01

Upload floor plan

Drop in a DWG/PDF. Cadwise extracts entities, layers and room boundaries automatically.

02

AI generates design

The rule engine detects zones and collectors, then lays out compliant snail-pattern circuits.

03

Export CAD file

Real DWG/DXF out — room labels, pipe lengths, zone maps and heat output per room.

Traction

Two live MVPs and a signed LOI.

MVP 1 — quote automation — is live, sold and generating revenue. MVP 2 — autonomous floor-heating drawings — ships September 2026, with a Letter of Intent already signed by the first enterprise customer.

Defensibility

Why this is hard to copy.

Generic AI tools automate documents. Cadwise automates decisions — on top of years of encoded domain logic.

›_

Proprietary rule engine

3+ years of encoded domain logic — pipe spacing, zone calc, regulatory limits. Not learnable by a generic LLM.

›_

Domain data flywheel

Every project run improves output. Switching providers means losing accumulated calibration.

›_

CAD-native output

Real DWG/DXF, not images. Integration depth creates switching cost that compounds with usage.

›_

Speed asymmetry

1 hour vs 15 minutes is structural, not a feature. We own the design layer before incumbents notice.

›_

Vertical lock-in

Each new vertical adds compounding rules. Competitors restart from zero per vertical.

›_

Customer network

Every floor-heating customer is also an HVAC customer. One sale → natural upsell, no new cycle.

Market

€3B now → €12B+ next.

Floor heating today, HVAC next — same customers, same offshore pain. Combined addressable market over €15B, and no autonomous design layer exists today.
