Abstract

Claims (52)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

importing, at a server, a file comprising a plurality of requirements for a building inspection at an inspection site, the plurality of requirements comprising requirements from disparate systems in disparate formats;

extracting, at an extraction engine of the server, at least one requirement from the file;

comparing, at a classifier engine of the server, the plurality of requirements, against a database;

storing the plurality of requirements and metadata in a database;

determining, at the server, a procedure for generating a task list to complete an inspection for the plurality of requirements;

transmitting the procedure and the plurality of requirements from the server to a mobile communication device located at the inspection site;

calling a plurality of tool functions from a tool library on the mobile communication device, wherein the plurality of tool functions comprises at least one of a 3D LiDAR Tool, a video tool, or an image tool;

displaying on a user-interface of the mobile communication device, the plurality of tool functions;

performing, on the mobile communication device, a task of the plurality of tasks on the task list using a tool function of the plurality of tool functions;

marking, on the device, the task as finished on the task list;

accepting, at the server, an image or video of the finished task;

using the camera function of the device to obtain the image or video of the finished task;

confirming, at the server, that the task was completed using the image or video of the finished task; and

outputting a result, at the server, about at least one requirement.

2 . The method according to claim 1 wherein a format of the file is Word Doc, PDF, web URL, JPG, PNG, GIF.

3 . The method of claim 1 in which the extraction engine is a large language model.

4 . The method of claim 1 in which the database is a vector database.

5 . The method of claim 1 in which the result output is a pass, fail, or partial pass.

6 . The method of claim 1 in which the result output is an error or request to complete another task.

7 . The method of claim 1 in which the result output is a description of a requirement and the manner in which the requirement was not met.

8 . The method of claim 1 in which the result output is a description of a requirement and the manner in which the requirement was met.

9 . The method to claim 1 wherein the task list is aligned to a local or regional standard.

10 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the task list is aligned to an International Building Code 1011.5 from the International Code Council.

11 . A computer implemented system comprising:

a mobile communication device with a user interface;

an extraction engine running a server;

a classifier engine running on the server;

a database;

a large language model running on the server; and

a tool library on the mobile communication device;

wherein the server is configured to import a file comprising a plurality of requirements for a building inspection at an inspection site, the plurality of requirements comprising requirements from disparate systems in disparate formats;

wherein the extraction engine is configured to extract the plurality of requirements from the file;

wherein the server is configured to transmit the plurality of requirements to the classifier engine;

wherein the classifier engine is configured to compare the plurality of requirements against data in a database;

wherein the server is configured to store the plurality of requirements and metadata in the database;

wherein the server is configured to determine a procedure for generating a task list to complete an inspection for the plurality of requirements;

wherein the server is configured to transmit the procedure and the plurality of requirements to the mobile communication device located at the inspection site;

wherein the mobile communication device is configured to display the task list and the plurality of requirements on the user interface;

wherein the mobile communication device is configured to call a plurality of tool functions from the tool library, wherein the plurality of tool function comprises at least one of a 3D LiDAR Tool, a video tool, or an image tool;

wherein the mobile communication device is configured to perform a task of the plurality of tasks on the task list using a tool function of the plurality of tool functions;

wherein the mobile communication device is configured to mark the task as finished on the task list;

wherein the server is configured to output a result for at least one requirement.

12 . The system according to claim 11 wherein a format of the file is Word Doc, PDF, web URL, JPG, PNG, GIF.

13 . The system of claim 11 in which the extraction engine is a large language model.

14 . The system of claim 11 in which the database is a vector database.

15 . The system of claim 11 in which the result output is a pass, fail, or partial pass.

16 . The system of claim 11 in which the result output is an error or request to complete another task.

17 . The system of claim 11 in which the result output is a description of a requirement and the manner in which the requirement was not met.

18 . The system of claim 11 in which the result output is a description of a requirement and the manner in which the requirement was met.

19 . The system to claim 11 wherein the task list is aligned to a local or regional standard.

20 . The system according to claim 11 wherein the task list is aligned to an International Building Code 1011.5 from the International Code Council.
