Bridging AI and the AEC Industry

KAPPS Studio brings real AI to AEC work, so your team can focus on the engineering.

We are a software company in Virginia. KAPPS Studio is our AI platform for the AEC industry, running everything from QA/QC and data science to the automation that clears away engineering busywork. Use the tools yourself, or hand us the project.

QA/QC, data science, and automation in one platform.

Plan and proposal QA/QC, data science, geospatial analysis, sensor pipelines, and custom automation. Every one of them is scoped to your project, your standards, and the way your reviewers expect the work.

Construction Plan QA/QC

We run AI across your plan sets to surface what a tired reviewer misses. Conflicting details, missing callouts, and sheets that do not match the spec, each one flagged back to the page so your QA reviewer starts from a checklist.

Proposal and SOQ QA/QC

Before you submit, our AI reads your proposal against every requirement in the RFP. It shows you which shall statements are still unanswered and where a reviewer could mark you non responsive, while you still have time to fix it.

Data Science and Predictive Analytics

Which assets are about to fail, how traffic will grow, what a project will really cost. We build the models that turn your data into a number you can plan around instead of a guess.

Geospatial Data Analysis

Satellite imagery, lidar, and GIS turned into something you can design with. Change detection along a corridor, inundation mapping after a storm, or clean terrain pulled for a hydraulic model.

Sensor and IoT Data Pipelines

We connect your sensors through to a dashboard you can watch. Water levels, rain gauges, and traffic counts collected and checked, with an alert the moment a reading crosses a threshold.

Custom AI Workflows

If a task on your team is repetitive, rule based, and eats real hours, it can probably be automated. Tell us what it is and we will scope the AI workflow that takes it off your plate.

From raw input to finished result.

Eleven browser tools across compliance, geospatial calculation, drainage, modelling, and reporting. Pick a workflow below to see how the raw inputs become something ready to submit.

Let AI check your documents for compliance

Upload your documents along with the requirements they have to meet. KAPPS reads them the way a tough reviewer would. It pulls out every requirement, checks the details against live government databases, and shows you the gaps while you still have time to fix them.

Credential checks done for you. Licenses, registrations, and certifications get verified against live state databases as the audit runs.
Nothing slips past it. Every "shall," "must," and "required" is pulled from the source documents, and your submission is checked against each one, line by line.
A report you can hand over. You get a color coded PDF that shows exactly what is missing, expired, or short.

Skip the spreadsheet busywork

Hand over your raw inputs, whether that is a spreadsheet, a shapefile, or a pull from a government database. A few seconds later you have clean results that are ready to work with, and not one formatting or copy paste mistake along the way.

Straight from the source. We pull data from federal and state databases like USDA SSURGO, sort it for you, and hand back files that are ready to use.
Everything in one place. Drop in your shapefiles, CSVs, or DXFs and KAPPS merges them, overlays them, and works out the numbers without you writing a single formula.
Ready to submit. Your calculations come back as a finished PDF report, not a wall of raw numbers in a cell.

Turn raw output into a finished document

Paste in the raw output from whatever software you used, and KAPPS shapes it into a properly formatted document that is ready to send. That is hours of retyping and reformatting you never have to touch again.

Written the way they expect it. Paste in raw output and get back a report laid out exactly how your client or agency wants to see it.
Drawings without the CAD time. Upload your data and get back scaled, labeled profile drawings and diagrams that are ready to deliver.

Five tools, watched live.

A look at what is actually happening on screen while KAPPS Studio runs a job — from a compliance scan to a HEC-RAS floodway solve. Each one runs entirely in your browser.

Compliance Auditing

SOQ Auditor

Drop in a Statement of Qualifications and the RFP it answers to. KAPPS reads every requirement, then cross-checks each license and registration against live Virginia DPOR and SCC databases while you watch.

  • Every shall / must / required pulled and checked line by line.
  • Licenses verified against live state databases, not a stale list.
  • A color-coded PDF showing exactly what is missing or expired.

Adversarial Review

Technical Proposal Auditor

Built for VDOT design-build. KAPPS mines the RFP, then runs an adversarial seven-phase audit across every technical volume — the way a tough evaluation panel would — and tallies each finding by severity before you submit.

  • Mines P1 + P2 requirements and audits each volume against them.
  • Cross-volume consistency checks catch what single-pass review misses.
  • Findings adjudicated and ranked critical / major / minor.

Hydrology

CN Studio

Drop a pin or an area of interest and CN Studio auto-delineates the watershed, traces the stream network, splits it into subbasins, and returns a weighted curve number and time of concentration — no GIS desktop required.

  • Auto basin delineation from NHDPlus HR or live LiDAR terrain.
  • Weighted CN from SSURGO soils and land cover, computed per subbasin.
  • Terrain-driven Tc with a full TR-55 report in the ZIP.

Floodway Studio

Hand it a HEC-RAS model and Floodway Studio runs the Method 1 encroachment optimizer, marching the left and right stations inward cross-section by cross-section until the surcharge converges right at the 1.0 ft target.

  • True HEC-RAS 1D Method 1 solve, run on the real engine.
  • Encroachments optimized to hold surcharge at the 1.0 ft limit.
  • Warm-start seeding locks cross-sections that already solved.

Geotechnical Data

Boring Studio

Turn boring data into clean AGS4 for Bentley OpenGround three ways — a legacy gINT .gpj project, a gINT boring-log PDF, or just a VDOT Project ID that auto-fetches every log for the project from the VDOT geotechnical database.

  • Converts .gpj, boring-log PDFs, or a whole VDOT project to valid AGS4.
  • Config-driven mapping into PROJ / LOCA / GEOL / SAMP / ISPT groups.
  • Generates VDOT-style boring logs alongside the export.

We know the work, we know the agencies, and we guard your data.

Three things worth knowing before you hand us a project.

Built by people who did the work

The people behind KAPPS spent years doing AEC and infrastructure work by hand. All of that experience is built into the tools, so they fit the way the work really gets done. This is not a generic SaaS product with an industry label stuck on it.

Virginia based, workflow aligned

We are based in Richmond, Virginia, and we know the agencies you answer to. Our tools and models follow the VDOT, FEMA, VA DEQ, and FHWA workflows you work in every day, so what comes out is what a reviewer expects to see.

Defensible AI, secure data

We use AI to pull out and check facts, never to make things up. Every flag points straight back to the page it came from. Your files are processed in their own private workspace and wiped the moment you download them. Passwords are hashed with Argon2, and we never store payment cards.
