CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE / BILL OF MATERIALS
Send us an engineering drawing set. Mirage extracts a fabrication-ready bill of materials, traced back to source, in 48 hours.
Running at OCBM, John Cockerill, and a US rail contractor.
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
01
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.
02
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.
03
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
| 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 |

FAQ
No. It removes the manual extraction and modeling work, not the engineering judgment. Every component and quantity is reviewable against its source drawing before it's used. Mirage prepares the BOM; your team validates it.
Piping, boilermaking, and structural steel, each with its own detection logic for that discipline's components and standards. A mixed drawing set runs through all three in a single pass.
No. The agent reads 2D drawings directly and generates the bill of materials without requiring a 3D model to be built first, which used to be the step that made fabrication BOMs slow.
Yes. Every component in the output is traceable back to the exact drawing it was detected on. Nothing goes into a purchase order or a fabrication package without that source attached.
Mirage runs the new revision through the same pass and returns an updated BOM, so your team reviews what changed rather than re-extracting the whole set from scratch.
Yes. Each drawing produces two distinct outputs from the same pass: a raw materials list for purchasing and costing, and a detailed bill for the fabrication team, each traceable to the same source drawing.
Under four weeks on average to a production deployment, following the same audit-then-pilot approach as our other construction agents: indexing and setup first, then a parallel pilot on one real drawing set.
Pricing starts with a fixed-price pilot run on one real drawing set, so you see the output before committing to anything larger. After that, it moves to an annual subscription priced by volume, quoted in your first conversation with us.
