Case Study

CAD Validation Platform

Automating third-party drawing validation to eliminate manual checks and designer back-and-forth.

The Challenge

A telecoms provider received CAD drawings from third-party designers for infrastructure projects. Before those drawings could be passed on to the customer, staff had to manually validate every file — checking layer names, dimensions, annotations, and compliance with internal standards.

When issues were found, it triggered rounds of back-and-forth between the internal team and the designers. Drawings went back, got corrected, came back, got re-checked. The cycle was slow, repetitive, and ate into time that could be spent on actual project work.

Hours spent on manual checks Staff reviewed every drawing by hand, checking compliance with standards line by line
Endless back-and-forth Rejected drawings went back to designers, got corrected, returned, and had to be re-checked all over again
No central tracking Sites, projects, and validation status were scattered across files and emails with no single view

What We Built

A validation platform that ingests native CAD drawings, runs automated tests against them, and gives the team a single place to manage sites, projects, and results.

Native CAD Ingestion

Accepts native CAD file formats directly — no manual conversion or re-exporting required before validation can begin.

Automated Validation Tests

A configurable suite of tests runs against each drawing automatically, catching issues that would otherwise require manual inspection.

Site & Project Management

All sites, projects, and their validation status in one place — replacing scattered files and email threads with a clear overview.

Clear Pass/Fail Reporting

Each drawing gets a clear result with specific issues flagged, so designers know exactly what to fix without rounds of clarification.

The Results

Before Manual review
After Automated

Validation tests run automatically on upload, catching issues in seconds instead of hours

Before Rounds of emails
After Fix once

Specific issues flagged upfront so designers fix everything in one pass, not multiple rounds

Before Scattered files
After One platform

Sites, projects, and validation results all managed in a single system
