Transform 2D Plans Into Structured Data for Construction and Insurance Projects

Across construction and insurance industries, critical decisions are still being made based on static 2D plans and unstructured PDFs. Floor plans, engineering drawings and inspection documents hold enormous value, yet much of that value remains locked inside files that are difficult to analyze, extract from, or integrate into modern workflows.

Manual takeoffs, spreadsheet-based estimating and visual interpretation of drawings slow projects down, introduce errors and limit scalability. In sectors where speed, accuracy and accountability are essential, relying on outdated methods is no longer sustainable.

Kamai changes this by transforming 2D plans into structured, machine readable data. By automatically extracting quantities and spatial information from drawings, Kamai enables construction firms, insurers and government agencies to work faster, reduce risk and make better-informed decisions.

The Problem With 2D Plans in Modern Workflows

2D plans have been the foundation of construction and insurance workflows for decades. While they are effective for visual communication, they were never designed for data-driven decision-making.

In construction, estimators must manually interpret drawings to calculate quantities, often repeating the same work across bidding, procurement and execution phases. This process is time-consuming and highly dependent on individual experience, making it difficult to standardize across teams or projects.

In insurance, adjusters and analysts face similar challenges. Assessing damage, validating claims, or estimating reconstruction costs often requires reviewing floor plans and drawings manually. The lack of structured data slows claims processing and increases the risk of inconsistencies or disputes.

As project volumes increase and timelines shrink, both industries need a way to convert drawings into usable data without adding complexity or labor.

Why Structured Data Matters for Construction and Insurance

Structured data allows information from drawings to be organized, searchable and directly integrated into downstream systems. Instead of treating plans as static images, structured data turns them into digital assets that power automation and analytics.

For construction companies, structured data enables faster estimating, improved cost control and better collaboration across departments. Quantities extracted from drawings can flow directly into estimating software, procurement tools and project management platforms.

For insurance organizations, structured data supports more accurate damage assessments, faster claims resolution and improved transparency. When quantities and spatial details are extracted consistently, insurers can standardize evaluations across regions and reduce reliance on manual interpretation.

Kamai bridges the gap between traditional 2D plans and modern data-driven workflows.

How Kamai Transforms 2D Plans Into Structured Data

Kamai uses advanced AI to analyze 2D plans, floor plans, and technical drawings, converting them into structured data with high accuracy. The platform identifies architectural and structural elements, measures dimensions and extracts quantities automatically.

Instead of tracing lines or counting elements manually, users receive clean, structured outputs that can be used immediately. This transformation happens without requiring changes to existing drawing formats or workflows.

Kamai’s approach ensures that data extracted from drawings is consistent, repeatable and scalable across projects of any size.

Construction Use Cases Faster Estimating and Better Project Control

In construction, speed and accuracy during the estimating phase can determine whether a project is profitable. Kamai significantly reduces the time required to extract quantities from floor plans, allowing estimators to focus on analysis rather than measurement.

By turning PDFs into structured data, Kamai enables faster bid preparation and more reliable cost estimates. Quantities extracted once can be reused across multiple stages of a project, reducing duplication of effort and minimizing errors.

Structured data also improves collaboration between estimating, procurement and project management teams. When everyone works from the same data set, discrepancies are reduced and decision-making becomes more transparent.

For large contractors and infrastructure projects, Kamai supports scalability by standardizing quantity extraction across teams and regions.

Insurance Use Cases Smarter Claims and Risk Assessment

Insurance workflows depend on accurate assessments, especially when dealing with property damage, reconstruction costs and risk modeling. Manual review of plans can slow down claims and lead to inconsistent outcomes.

Kamai helps insurers transform 2D plans into structured data that supports faster and more reliable evaluations. Quantities extracted from drawings provide a clear, data-backed foundation for estimating repair or rebuild costs.

For claims teams, this means faster processing and improved customer experience. For underwriting and risk assessment teams, structured data enables better analysis of property layouts and exposure.

By removing guesswork from plan interpretation, Kamai helps insurers make decisions that are both faster and more defensible.

Supporting Government and Large Scale Projects

Government agencies involved in construction oversight, infrastructure development and insurance regulation often manage large volumes of plans and documentation. Manual processes limit their ability to act quickly and consistently.

Kamai’s structured data approach allows public-sector organizations to analyze drawings at scale, improving transparency and accountability. Whether reviewing construction plans or assessing insured assets, structured data enables better governance and reporting.

This capability is especially valuable in projects where timelines, budgets and compliance requirements are tightly controlled.

Accuracy You Can Trust

Accuracy is critical when transforming drawings into data. Kamai is built to deliver highly reliable results that customers can trust for real-world decisions.

By combining advanced AI with domain-specific expertise, Kamai ensures that extracted quantities align closely with the original plans. This reliability reduces the need for rework and manual verification, saving time while maintaining confidence.

For construction and insurance professionals, this level of accuracy supports better forecasting, reduced risk and improved outcomes.

Integrating Structured Data Into Existing Systems

One of Kamai’s key strengths is its ability to fit into existing workflows. Structured data generated from 2D plans can be integrated into estimating software, claims systems and analytics platforms without disruption.

This flexibility allows organizations to modernize incrementally, improving efficiency without replacing tools or retraining teams extensively.

By acting as a bridge between drawings and digital systems, Kamai unlocks value from documents that were previously underutilized.

Moving From Drawings to Decisions

2D plans will remain a core part of construction and insurance workflows, but how organizations use them must evolve. Turning drawings into structured data is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity for speed, accuracy and scalability.

Kamai empowers construction firms, insurers and government agencies to move beyond manual interpretation and toward data-driven decision-making. By transforming 2D plans into structured data, Kamai helps teams work faster, reduce errors and make smarter choices at every stage of a project.

As the demand for efficiency and transparency continues to grow, structured data will be the foundation of modern construction and insurance operations  and Kamai is leading that transformation.
