# Blueprint Intake Agent

*/Agents/Blueprint_Intake_Agent*

## Solution Overview

The Blueprint Intake Agent monitors submission inboxes and construction portal uploads to process incoming architectural and engineering plan sets. Upon receiving a multi-page PDF package, it scans title blocks to extract the drawing index, revision numbers, sheet scales, and stamped engineering seals. It generates a normalized submittal log and flags missing structural sheets or mismatched revision dates before routing the package to a human pre-construction manager for final approval.

General contractors and municipal permitting offices hire this agent to replace manual data entry during the bid and permit application phases. Estimators and intake clerks typically spend hours typing sheet numbers and titles from 200-page revision sets into project management software. The agent eliminates this transcription bottleneck, ensuring that project teams quote and build against the correct, current drawing versions.

Operating as a specialized digital worker, the agent sits between external email submissions and core construction management platforms. It consumes headless document parsing APIs to extract text from large-format vector and raster PDFs, translating visual title blocks into structured JSON. It then pushes this indexed submittal log directly into systems like Procore or Autodesk Build, serving as the automated intake layer that feeds downstream estimating services and human takeoff workflows.

**Memory Kind**: persistent
**Memory Note**: Retains past revision logs and project-specific title block layouts to correlate new plan submissions against existing drawing sets and accurately track version histories.
**Autonomy Mode**: guarded
**Replaces Role**: [Document Controller](/JobTypes/Document_Controller)
**Solves Problem**: [Manual Plan Set Transcription](/Problems/Manual_Plan_Set_Transcription)
**Responsibilities**:

## Agent Function Cascade

**Ai Role**: The AI operates end-to-end to ingest incoming plans, extract title block data, and draft the submittal log autonomously, stopping at a strict gate where a pre-construction manager must approve the log or resolve flagged sheet anomalies before the system syncs to the project management platform.
**Cascade**:
- Kind: Code · Note: Retrieves incoming document payloads from Microsoft Exchange or webhook. · Step: Ingest Plan Sets · Verb: ingest · Realizes: Process Incoming Plan Sets · Oversight: none
- Kind: Generative · Note: Reads sheet numbers, descriptions, and disciplines using AWS Textract. · Step: Extract Title Blocks · Verb: extract · Realizes: Scan Document Title Blocks · Oversight: none
- Kind: Agentic · Note: Queries historical memory to match sets and detect missing sheets. · Step: Cross-Reference Revisions · Verb: reconcile · Realizes: Verify Revision Dates · Oversight: none
- Kind: Generative · Note: Compiles the extracted indexes into a formatted submittal payload. · Step: Draft Submittal Log · Verb: draft · Realizes: Generate Submittal Logs · Oversight: none
- Kind: Human · Note: A mandatory gate to approve the submittal log and resolve escalations. · Step: Preconstruction Manager Approval · Verb: approve · Realizes: Approve Project Documents · Oversight: approves
- Kind: Code · Note: Pushes the approved drawing logs to Procore or Autodesk Build. · Step: Publish Current Logs · Verb: publish · Realizes: Maintain Current Drawing Logs · Oversight: none
