Flikt.AI is an AI-powered construction plan review platform that detects coordination conflicts in 2D PDF drawing sets โ no BIM model required. Upload an architectural, structural, MEP, civil, landscape, or interior plan set and Flikt.AI cross-references all nine disciplines to surface clashes, dimensional errors, and document-QA issues, returning a shareable, RFI-ready report the same day.
Flikt.AI detects three classes of problems:
The workflow is four steps โ Submit, Scan, Save, Share โ and finished reports can be distributed to any stakeholder without a login.
Built for developers, general contractors, and architects, Flikt.AI targets the ~$65B lost annually to construction rework (FMI/Autodesk, 2022). By catching constructability and coordination errors during preconstruction instead of in the field, teams reduce RFIs and change orders โ protecting both schedule and budget. Pricing is available as monthly subscriptions or per project.

Flikt.AI's answer
Flikt.AI reviews coordination conflicts directly from 2D PDF plan sets โ no BIM model, no 3D federation, no special file formats. Most clash-detection tools depend on Revit/Navisworks models that many real projects never produce; Flikt.AI works from the same PDFs the design team already issues. It cross-references all nine disciplines (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, civil, landscape, and interior) and returns a shareable, RFI-ready report the same day.
Flikt.AI's answer
Tools like Navisworks, Solibri, and Revizto are powerful but require a coordinated BIM model and skilled operators โ overhead that doesn't fit 2D-only or fast-moving projects. Flikt.AI needs only the PDF plan set, returns results the same day, and writes findings in RFI-ready language a team can act on immediately. A free preview lets you see real conflicts before paying, and reports can be shared with any stakeholder without a login.
Flikt.AI's answer
Real-estate developers, general contractors, and architects โ the teams accountable for catching coordination errors before they become field RFIs and change orders. It's especially valuable on multifamily and commercial projects where MEP, structural, and civil scopes overlap and a single missed clash can cost thousands in rework and weeks of schedule.
Flikt.AI's answer
Flikt.AI was founded by Greg Baumann, who spent years in ground-up multifamily development and watched the same coordination errors surface again and again โ caught late, in the field, at maximum cost. Existing clash-detection tools assumed a BIM model many projects never build. Flikt.AI was created to bring automated, same-day plan review to the 2D PDF documents teams actually use, so human error gets caught before construction starts.
Flikt.AI's answer
Flikt.AI is a cloud-based, AI-powered web application. No installs or plugins โ you upload PDFs in the browser and get results back.

Love OBS and Blender. Recently started using Kdenlive and it is awesome. Big fan of OpenSCAD[1] and solvespace[2] for making functional 3D prints. I'm going to branch out a bit here and say GrapheneOS is my favorite thing going on right now. [1] https://openscad.org/ [2] https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
Just checked it out [1] but it appears the last version released was in 2022? Makes me wonder if it is still active. [1] https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
The comment on constraints which still blows me away is the footnote on the readme for Dune 3D: https://github.com/dune3d/dune3d Probably a bit more approachable for folks is: https://www.cadsketcher.com/ which adds the Solvespace constraint solver to Blender. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
>> I do wish I did pay some attention to CAD now. I want a 3D printer and have no idea how to design objects for it. Get Solvespace: https://solvespace.com/index.pl Do the tutorials. If/when you outgrow it, the concepts will carry over to FreeCAD which otherwise has a steeper learning curve but has more capabilities. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Applications include: - modeling 3d parts โ draw with extrudes, revolves, helixes and Boolean (union / difference / intersection) operations [...] - 3d-printed parts โ export the STL or other triangle mesh expected by most 3d printers". - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
