Intec’s AI and automation division focuses on transforming traditional, repetitive, and rule-based BIM/CAD tasks into high-efficiency automated processes. By integrating custom plugins and AI-driven applications directly into industry-standard software, Intec enables engineering teams to focus on strategic design rather than manual data entry. These services bridge the gap between complex project requirements and consistent, high-quality delivery.
Core Automation Service Offerings:
1. Advanced BIM / CAD Plugin Development:
We extend the capabilities of native industry software by developing custom API-driven tools that streamline proprietary workflows and enhance software interoperability.
(a) Revit Plugin Development:
- API enables the development of custom add-ins and plugins to extend native Revit functionality.
- Plugins are developed using .NET (C# / VB.NET) and integrated directly into Revit UI.
- Designed to automate complex, repetitive, and rule-based BIM workflows.
(b) Civil 3D Plugin Development
The API provides a way to automate tasks by writing code that interacts with the software. This code can be written in a variety of programming languages, such as Visual Basic or C#.
(c) AutoCAD API Development
Intec Automation team specialized for creating applications such as custom workspaces, menus, and commands, automatic geometry creation, data processing, connection/integration with third-party software, bulk operations, etc.
Also, we can help with:
- Add-ins
- Stand-alones
- Macros
- Web apps
2. Microsoft 365 Development:
(a) Power BI Dashboards:
- Enables interactive, real-time dashboards for data-driven decision-making.
- Connects multiple data sources into a single visual analytics platform.
- Transforms raw project and business data into actionable insights.
(b) Power Automate:
Automate business processes, such as travel approvals and late-sitting requests, etc., and reduce manual effort and improve transparency with Power Apps.
(c) SharePoint Site Development:
SharePoint is Microsoft 365’s collaboration platform that provides a secure team site to store documents, share information, and manage work. It acts as a central hub for files, pages, and lists - helping teams collaborate with version control and controlled access.
3. Autodesk Platform Services (APS):
- Autodesk Platform Services (APS), formerly Forge, is a cloud-based development platform by Autodesk. - Enables creation of custom applications and automations on top of Autodesk products. - Provides secure access to design data, models, and workflows via APIs.Some of the following areas where we can use APS are:
- Model Derivative API
- Design Automation API
- ACC APIs
- Data Exchange API
4. Computational & Parametric Development:
By synthesizing visual programming with parametric modeling, Intec reduces manual modeling effort while providing real-time feedback for design optimization.
Dynamo (Revit / Civil 3D)- Significant reduction in manual modeling effort.
- Improved model consistency and data accuracy.
- Reduced manual modeling effort through algorithmic automation.
- Improved model accuracy and consistency across complex geometries. Dynamo & Grasshopper:
Visual programming for rule-based automation in Revit, Civil 3D, and Rhino. These tools provide 40–70% time savings on repetitive tasks like sheet creation and parameter population.
AI & Custom Software Application Development Service Offerings:
Specialized AI Applications & Custom Tools
By leveraging AI and custom software engineering, Intec provides users with high-productivity environments that reduce manual search time and streamline data management.
AI Agents, RAG Based Generation Apps & Bot Development:Intec develops interactive, web-based AI assistants, (such as the Revit AI Assistant), which are integrated directly into the design environment. These agents feature a chat interface that provides real-time guidance on Revit commands, modeling support, and automation queries.
Standalone Custom Applications (Desktop & Web-Based):The team builds tailored standalone applications, such as the Site Uploader, a WPF-based desktop tool that automates the secure transfer of site photos and PDFs to the cloud. Additionally, the team creates custom standalone tools, macros, and web apps to extend the functionality of platforms like AutoCAD.
Why Automate with Intec?
Enhanced Productivity: Automation streamlines the creation of 3D models by reducing manual modeling efforts, improving efficiency by 40% to 100%, and allowing engineers to focus on innovation and optimal resource utilization.
Error Reduction: Integrated QA/QC automation and rule-based modeling proactively detect and eliminate human errors, reducing rework and improving overall model accuracy.
Data-Driven Decisions: Centralized reporting and real-time dashboards provide immediate visibility across all project sectors.
Process Efficiency: Automated workflows ensure structured, transparent management of both design and business operations.
