Blueprints AI Launches Second-Generation Software to Generate Permit-Ready Architectural Blueprints from Sketches

Architect Al Drams and data scientist Coco Cao have launched Blueprints AI, a startup that produces architectural construction blueprints from sketches in minutes. The company will unveil its second-generation software this week at the TechCrunch Disrupt event in San Francisco. The new software creates blueprints for architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and interior design from a text description or 2D sketch.

Version two allows users to make edits that automatically update the entire project while checking changes against local building codes. First-generation plans cost between $3,200 and $8,500 monthly, with enterprise pricing also available. The founders trained their models using eight years of approved drawing sets from Drams' architecture firm. The co-founders said the software aims to reverse the traditional workflow where architects spend 80% of their time on repetitive drafting.

The technology does not replace licensed professionals, who must still review and seal documents before permit submission. Early customers are already using version two, and it becomes publicly available this week. The startup is already developing a third version to add structural analysis and electrical panel design, while planning to add a flat-fee option for single projects.
