TektonAI
CAD/BIM design for construction, from your AI assistant.
You describe the structure in Claude or ChatGPT. TektonAI produces the drawings and files: a dimensioned PDF drawing, an Excel bill of materials, a CAD drawing (DXF) and a 3D model (STEP or IFC). There is no drafting software to learn.

The problem
A scaffold or site fencing drawing takes drafting software and hours of work. You have to take dimensions from the architect’s drawings, choose the parts, apply the provincial rules, then redo the drawing every time something changes. And the work comes back with every project.
You describe the structure
With the dimensions, the architect’s PDF drawings or IFC model. A screenshot of the drawing also works: your assistant reads the dimensions, and you keep or correct them.
TektonAI designs it
The 3D model is built with your company’s own parts, according to the rules of the province where the project is. TektonAI only asks a question when a missing value would make the drawing wrong.
You receive the files
Dimensioned PDF drawing, calculation note, Excel bill of materials, CAD drawing (DXF) and 3D model (STEP or IFC). Your team opens them in its usual software.
Anyone can verify
Every document carries a reference and a QR code. The public verification page shows who issued it and whether a file matches the original.
TektonAI drawings are preliminary: a competent person checks them before erection.

What sets it apart
- It works inside the AI assistant your team already uses. Claude is tested, ChatGPT is compatible.
- Every value used is written on the drawing with its origin: your answers, a code article, the manufacturer’s sheet or common practice.
- Drawings cite the rules of the province or territory where the project is, anywhere in Canada.
- Data is hosted in Quebec, and documents come out in French or English.
- Every document is checked before delivery: a document that fails is not delivered.

Questions about TektonAI
Do I need CAD skills to use TektonAI?
No. You describe the structure in your AI assistant, and TektonAI produces the drawings and files. Your team then opens the DXF, STEP or IFC in its usual software.
Are TektonAI drawings ready for erection?
They are preliminary drawings: a competent person checks them before erection. Every value on the drawing shows its origin, which makes that check easier.
Which building codes does TektonAI use?
The Codes module gives the exact text of the NBC 2020, the Quebec Construction Code (Building and Plumbing chapters), the CSTC, the RSST and the LSST, with the applicable edition. Drawings cite the rules of the province or territory where the project is.
Which AI assistant does TektonAI work with?
Claude is tested: you add your company’s connector. ChatGPT and other assistants are compatible but not tested.
How do I get TektonAI?
Send a price request on tektonai.app. The TektonAI team then opens your company’s account by invitation.

The modules, all included in the subscription
Scaffold
3D scaffold drawings, frame or system scaffolding. Scaffold reads the architect’s IFC model or PDF and delivers the PDF drawing, the calculation note, the Excel bill of materials, the DXF, the STEP and the IFC.
Fencing
Site fencing plans, from the site perimeter or from a Scaffold drawing. Fencing accounts for local wind, places the gates and the public walkway, and gives the parts list in Excel and CSV.
Codes
The exact text of the NBC 2020, the Quebec Construction Code (Building and Plumbing chapters), the CSTC, the RSST and the LSST. Search by article number or in your own words, and every answer gives the edition of the text.
My Equipment
Your company’s parts library: references, dimensions and weights. You fill it from an Excel list or a supplier’s PDF catalogue, and QR labels identify each part in the field.
Parts & Materials
The technical reference of common construction materials in Quebec: one sheet per material, with its dimensions and standards, plus PDF and Excel catalogues.
