Kestrel reads your drawings while you work, flags what a reviewer would send back, and makes the fix the moment you approve it.

    The gap

    Modelling tools are precise and powerful, but passive. They never suggest, never check, never pick up the slack, so every repetitive step lands back on you.

    Manual[01]

    Every edit is by hand

    Door swings, dimensions, tags: each one is touched individually, sheet after sheet.

    Detached[02]

    Help lives in another window

    General chat tools can’t see your model, so you copy, paste and re-explain context all day.

    Unseen[03]

    Problems hide until review

    A short guard or a tight corridor stays silent in the model until someone else finds it.

    Slow[04]

    Small jobs eat whole days

    The fiddly upkeep that fills a week is exactly the work software ought to absorb.

    Introduction
    Practices lose hours to modelling chores and coordination fixes that pull focus from the design itself.

    Connected. 3 open issues

    Kestrel sits within the software you already use. It reads the model, understands what you’re working on, and proposes changes you can accept, tweak or ignore. Nothing moves without a yes.

    • Works inside your BIM and CAD tools.

    • Understands geometry and intent.

    • Suggests fixes while you draw.

    • Edits only after you approve.

    Does corridor C2 meet egress width?

    No: 1 050 mm clear, 1 100 required. I can shift three partitions 50 mm east. Preview?

    Under the hood

    1. Rooms indexed

      Spaces, levels and zones are read straight from the model.

    2. Routes traced

      Corridors, stairs and exits are followed end to end.

      0

    3. Rules checked

      Code clauses and your own office standards, every pass.

    Approach

    Kestrel keeps quiet until something matters, explains itself when it speaks, and never changes a line without your go-ahead, so control stays with you.

    1. Observe

      Follows the model as you draw: rooms, routes and assemblies.

    2. Flag

      Marks conflicts the moment they appear, with the rule attached.

    3. Propose

      Suggests fixes and previews the knock-on effects first.

    4. Apply

      Edits on approval. Every change is logged and reversible.

    Use cases

    Offload the repetitive modelling and code-checking so design time stays design time.
