Floor Plan Analysis

Date: February 16, 2026

You can now upload PDF floor plans and get automatic room detection with precise area calculations — no manual measuring required.

What's New

When you upload a vector PDF floor plan to a project, BuildFind automatically detects individual rooms, calculates their areas, and identifies room labels from the original drawing. Results are displayed in an interactive viewer where you can click on rooms to see details, with a summary table showing all rooms and their areas.

How It Works

  • Upload a PDF floor plan to any project
  • The system automatically detects it as a floor plan and runs the analysis
  • Open the floor plan viewer from the file menu to see color-coded rooms overlaid on the original walls
  • View a room-by-room breakdown with names and areas in square meters

Good to Know

  • Works best with vector PDFs exported from CAD tools (AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, etc.)
  • Scale is detected automatically from dimension annotations on the drawing
  • Multi-page floor plans are supported with page tabs in the viewer

SharePoint & OneDrive Integration

Date: February 8, 2026

You can now import files directly from SharePoint and OneDrive into your BuildFind projects — no more downloading and re-uploading.

What's New

  • Connect your Microsoft account — Link your work Microsoft account to access your SharePoint sites and OneDrive files from within BuildFind
  • Browse and import — Navigate your SharePoint document libraries and OneDrive folders, then import files directly into any project
  • Batch import — Select multiple files at once and choose the document type before importing
  • Seamless processing — Imported files are automatically processed by BuildFind's AI, just like any other uploaded document

How to Use It

Look for the new SharePoint button in your project's file area. Connect your Microsoft account once, and you'll be able to browse and import files from any of your SharePoint sites or your personal OneDrive.

Export Defect Reports as PDF

Date: February 6, 2026

You can now export your defect reports as professional, print-ready PDF documents — complete with photos, company details, and all logged defect information.

What's New

  • One-click PDF export — Generate a clean PDF of any defect report directly from the report view
  • Photos included — Defect photos are embedded right in the PDF, so everything is in one document
  • Filter by company — Export a PDF for a specific subcontractor, or export the full combined report
  • Multi-language support — PDFs render correctly in both English and Estonian, including special characters

Why This Matters

Whether you need to share findings with a subcontractor, attach a report to an email, or keep a paper record on site, the PDF export gives you a professional document ready to go — no copy-pasting or manual formatting required.

Microsoft Project Integration

Date: January 31, 2026

BuildFind now connects to your Microsoft Planner and Project plans, bringing your task and project data right into the AI chat.

What's New

  • Access your plans from chat — Ask the AI assistant about your Microsoft Project plans without leaving BuildFind
  • Browse tasks and buckets — View tasks organized by bucket, see assignments, due dates, progress, and checklists
  • Search and filter — Find specific tasks by name, status, assignee, or due date range directly through the chat
  • Task details at your fingertips — Get full task descriptions, checklist items, and completion status in one place

How to Use It

Connect your Microsoft account in settings, and then simply ask the AI assistant about your project plans. For example:

  • "Show me my project plans"
  • "What tasks are due this week?"
  • "Which tasks are assigned to John?"
  • "Show me the details for the foundation inspection task"

Defect Report Improvements

Date: January 30, 2026

A major upgrade to defect reports — with version history, team sharing, and report categories.

Version History

Every time you regenerate or edit a defect report, a new version is created while the previous ones are preserved. Use the version selector to switch between any past version, and the history page now groups versions together so you can easily track how a report has evolved over time.

Shared Across Your Team

Defect reports are now visible to your entire project team. Company admins can see all reports across company projects, while team members see reports from their assigned projects. Drafts remain private until you're ready to share. Each report card also shows who created it.

Organize by Category

You can now assign categories to your defect reports — pick from existing categories or create new ones on the fly. This makes it much easier to filter and find reports when you're managing multiple inspections across a project.
