23 Jan 2025 - How do you engineer intuition?

"I just feel it and find the most relevant issues that way."

This is the response I got from Brian Klubben - a long-time friend, 24-year construction and plan reading expert, and member of the MarkedUp.ai founding team.

I wanted to know how he reviews construction documentation. "What do you do when you first open a plan set?" I asked. His response had nothing to do with checklists or processes—it had everything to do with experience, intuition, and time in the seat.

When you're trying to develop a software product that incorporates computer vision, algorithms, and databases to improve the way issues are found in construction drawings, feelings and intuition are hard to engineer!

And yet, we've figured it out a way to take Brian's intuition and build a product that can indeed do what he does. Over time, it won't be the fact that it takes GCs and Architects weeks to review plans and only minutes for MarkedUp.ai - it will be that we figured out a way to replicate Brian's human genius and experience so that any GC or Architect in the world has instant access to it.
