Software to automatically create construction blueprints

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build software that automates the design of mechanical, fire, electrical, and plumbing services for buildings. Instead of architects and contractors hiring specialists who manually draw blueprints, our system generates these designs automatically and calculates materials and cost estimates.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Maharashtra, India, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in MH, India, where the market for construction design consultants is fragmented and manual. Staying local helps us work closely with our early customers and understand their exact needs.
