CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE / BILL OF MATERIALS
From Drawing To Fabrication-Ready BOM
Send us an engineering drawing set. Mirage extracts a fabrication-ready bill of materials, traced back to source, within a week.
Running at OCBM and John Cockerill.
THE REALITY
Getting an exact procurement list for fabrication used to mean rebuilding a full 3D model first, a step that alone could take up to a month before a single bill of materials existed.
WHAT MIRAGE DOES
Reads the drawing the way a method engineer does
Detects components across disciplines
The agent reads piping, boilermaking, and structural steel drawings and detects the components on each: bar stock, elbows, flanges, tubes, welds, profiles, plates, bolting. No 3D model has to exist first.
Applies your engineering standards automatically
Component rules get applied the way your engineers apply them, from platform-clearance calculations to roof and floor deductions, so nothing goes into the BOM without the standard already checked.
Splits one drawing into two ready outputs
Every drawing produces a raw materials list for purchasing and costing, and a separate, detailed bill for the fabrication team, each traceable to the exact source drawing, ready to drop into Procore, Autodesk, or SAP.
THE OUTPUT
One drawing, two traceable outputs
| Component | Type | Qty | Drawing Ref | Flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elbow, 90°, 6 in | Piping (MTO) | 24 | ISO-4021 | None |
| Flange, blind, API 650↳ The blind flange spec on the shell course doesn't match the platform-clearance rule applied elsewhere on the same tank, flagged before it reaches purchasing. | Boilermaking | 6 | T-108, sheet 3 | Spec conflict |
| Structural profile, IPE 240 | Structural (BOM) | 18 | S-212 | None |
| Gusset plate, detail 7 | Structural (BOM) | 12 | S-212, detail 7 | None |
| Bolt assembly, M20↳ Clamping thickness on this connection implies a different bolt count than the nomenclature states, flagged for the method team to confirm. | Structural (BOM) | 144 | S-212 | Quantity mismatch |
