Boom AI

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're evaluating Boom AI for the first time or preparing to start a pilot, here are answers to the questions we hear most often from commercial HVAC estimators and preconstruction teams.

Understanding Boom AI

  • What does Boom AI do?

    Boom AI helps commercial HVAC estimators find, organize, and review the pages they need before takeoff begins. Upload a drawing set and Boom AI automatically identifies mechanical pages, classifies sheets, and organizes project documents so your team can spend less time hunting through plan sets and more time estimating.

  • Does Boom AI create estimates?

    No. Boom AI does not replace the estimating process or generate final bid numbers. Your estimator still owns the estimate. Boom AI helps prepare and organize project documents so estimating can begin faster.

  • Does Boom AI replace estimators?

    No. Boom AI is designed to support estimators, not replace them. Estimators remain responsible for reviewing information, validating classifications, and building the final estimate. The goal is to eliminate manual document work, not human expertise.

  • What types of projects does Boom AI support?

    Boom AI is built for commercial HVAC projects, including schools, hospitals, airports, office buildings, industrial facilities, and large commercial developments. The platform is specifically designed to handle large drawing sets and complex project documentation.

  • What file formats do you support?

    Boom AI currently supports PDF drawing sets and construction plan packages. Additional file support may be added as the platform evolves.

Accuracy, Review & Confidence

  • How accurate is the page classification?

    Boom AI uses confidence scoring on every classification. Rather than pretending every result is perfect, the platform identifies which pages it is highly confident about and which pages deserve additional review.

  • What happens when confidence is low?

    Pages with lower confidence scores are flagged for review by your estimator. Boom AI never hides uncertainty. Your team can quickly review flagged pages before moving forward.

  • Can I review the results before using them?

    Absolutely. Every classification can be reviewed and verified by your team before it becomes part of your workflow.

  • How do I know Boom AI didn't miss something?

    Boom AI is designed to assist the review process, not eliminate it. Confidence scoring helps your team focus attention where it's needed most while reducing the amount of manual page navigation required.

Getting Started

  • How long does implementation take?

    Most teams can begin evaluating Boom AI quickly through a guided pilot process. There is no lengthy implementation project or complicated setup required to start reviewing plan sets.

  • Do I need training?

    Very little. Boom AI was built around existing estimator workflows, making it easy for teams to get started without extensive training.

  • What happens during a free pilot?

    You'll upload a real project drawing set and work directly with the Boom AI team to evaluate results. The goal is to see how the platform performs on the types of projects your team bids every day.

  • How much does Boom AI cost?

    Boom AI offers a free pilot so contractors can evaluate the platform using real projects before making a commitment. Pricing options are available based on team size and usage requirements.

Security & Data Protection

  • Is my project data secure?

    Yes. Protecting customer project information is a priority. Project documents are handled securely and access is restricted to authorized users.

  • Who owns my data?

    You retain ownership of your project data and documents. Boom AI is a tool used to analyze and organize information, not claim ownership of it.

  • Can large drawing sets be processed?

    Yes. Boom AI is designed to handle large commercial projects, including drawing sets containing hundreds or even thousands of pages.

The Road Ahead

  • What features are available today?

    Today, Boom AI supports page classification, equipment extraction, PDF preparation, confidence scoring, and human review workflows.

  • What features are coming next?

    Future releases are expected to include equipment auto-matching, specification review, requirement extraction, takeoff support, and structured exports into estimating workflows.

  • Will Boom AI expand beyond HVAC?

    Our current focus is commercial HVAC because that's where we're delivering the most value today. As the platform evolves, opportunities may expand into additional construction trades and workflows.
