ANDPAD Selected for MLIT's 'FY2026 Construction Administration DX Promotion Project' to Verify Administrative Efficiency via AI

ANDPAD, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takeo Inada), operator of the cloud-based construction project management service 'ANDPAD,' is pleased to announce that its proposal for 'Examination and Verification of Text Digitization Methods for Building Plan Summaries*1' has been selected for the 'FY2026 Construction Administration DX Promotion Project' promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). Through this project, ANDPAD will leverage its technical foundation and expertise in AI cultivated in the construction management field to improve efficiency in architectural design and application processes, and promote DX across the entire building lifecycle. MLIT plans to abolish building plan summaries by April 2028 as part of its DX initiative for administrative procedures under the Building Standards Act, transitioning to a system linked with the ledger system. However, approximately 70 million building plan summaries accumulated in the past are stored on paper, which is a major bottleneck for counter-viewing operations and construction administration DX. These documents are 'unstructured' data with different formats depending on the era and specific administrative agency, making them difficult to digitize. ANDPAD has been promoting DX in the construction industry through the development and provision of 'ANDPAD,' the No. 1 share cloud-based construction project management service. In this project, by establishing a method for digitizing building plan summaries using AI technology, the company aims to contribute to the onlineization of construction administrative procedures and the accumulation and utilization of construction data. The project will involve collaboration with multiple administrative agencies in urban and rural areas to analyze the characteristics of various building plan summaries, verify AI-based technical methods, and promote the utilization of the building database. ANDPAD will continue to contribute to the productivity of the entire industry by ensuring 'data continuity' throughout the building lifecycle, not just in construction site efficiency.
