Bureau Veritas Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Bureau Veritas Japan) and mign Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, mign) have jointly developed and commenced practical operation of an industry-specific AI agent system aimed at supporting type operations in building permit reviews. This next-generation review support initiative integrates autonomous AI into the core processes of highly specialized inspection and verification tasks, representing an unprecedented advanced case in Japan.
## Background: Solving Global Challenges and Creating Innovation
Currently, the construction industry faces challenges such as an increase in the number of drawings due to the advanced functionality and complexity of buildings, and the subdivision of legal regulations and verification items. Particularly in building permit reviews, the increasing complexity of legal regulations year by year has led to an increase in the number of required documents and drawings, resulting in inconsistencies, rework, and delays in reviews. This has placed an extremely high burden not only on inspection and verification officers but also on applicants. Bureau Veritas Japan, with its overwhelming inspection track record cultivated globally, and mign, possessing cutting-edge generative AI technology, are collaborating to address this challenge. By integrating advanced document and drawing analysis technology powered by AI with the professional inspection and verification know-how accumulated over many years, they aim to create innovation that will become a new guideline (standard) for the construction industry.
### [Example of Review Content]
Development and tuning of an AI agent covering all aspects of Bureau Veritas Japan's reviews, including design, structure, and equipment, are underway.
## Practical Operation Content: Utilization of Multimodal Autonomous AI Agents
This system is not merely a text search tool but an autonomous AI agent that simultaneously interprets drawings (images) and text. When a checklist of review items and a vast amount of application documents are uploaded, the AI agent autonomously performs and generates the following tasks:
- Primary screening for conformity (YES/NO judgment)
- Automatic identification of relevant pages from hundreds of drawings to be checked
- Highlight display of relevant sections in the drawings
This allows the AI to instantly extract subtle deficiencies that humans might overlook and inconsistencies across multiple drawings. Inspection and verification officers can then proceed with reviews by referring to the highly accurate supplementary information organized by the AI. By advancing the tuning and training of the AI based on Bureau Veritas Japan's know-how and judgment methods, it is possible to achieve an answer accuracy of over 90-95%.
① Upload drawings, planning materials, and checklists (company-specific content) to the AI agent trained for Bureau Veritas Japan.
