Stop Paying Teams to Recreate Details They Already Designed.
Turn decades of CAD and PDF drawing archives into an instantly searchable engineering knowledge base.Find approved details in seconds. Reduce rework. Preserve engineering knowledge.
Currently onboarding our first structural engineering design partners.
- Search drawings naturally
- Reuse approved details
- Metadata search
Does this happen in your drafting or engineering team every week?
Your drafters know the detail exists. They just can't find it. Every hour spent searching or redrawing is an hour your firm has already paid for once.
Searching Old Project Folders
Instead of detailing, drafters spend hours digging through Windows folders, BIM360 projects and PDF archives trying to find details the firm already created.
Redrawing Approved Details
Unable to find approved precedents quickly, drafters recreate beam connections, retaining walls and footing details that already exist elsewhere in the business.
Losing Engineering Knowledge
When experienced engineers or senior drafters leave, years of practical detailing knowledge disappear into disconnected folders and forgotten projects.
From folder archaeology to instant recall.

Engineering knowledge shouldn't disappear after project handover.
Large structural firms invest thousands of hours developing engineering details.
Yet most of that knowledge ends up buried inside folders, PDFs and archived projects.
Detail Finder transforms completed projects into a searchable engineering knowledge library, so approved details stay available for every future project.
