No. Parking design is 10% of architectural work. Parking AI eliminates the tedious, repetitive part (31 hours of manual drafting), freeing your architects to focus on building aesthetics, user experience, sustainability—the value-add work. This tool makes architects more valuable, not less.

100% for the built-in checks. The AI compliance rules (turning radius, aisle width, bay dimensions, PH access, junction logic, fire exit aisles, stacking distances) are NBC 2016 standards and automatically validated. If something violates a rule, the design won't export and we'll show Error: Some invalid/join has additional constraints (early MVP). Instead review.

The tool tells you upfront: "It runs a constraint analysis and reports: 'Row 7B6 space target requires bay widths of 2.4m, which is below NBC minimum of 2.5m. Recommended: Design for 650 spaces, or add a 4th basement level, or convert one level to mixed-use parking + retail.'" This clarity coming early design saves weeks of wasted effort.

Yes. You can draw a simple floor plan in any CAD tool (even SketchUp, then export as DWG), or manually draw it fully at the boundary and column grid we defined. Parking AI can work with it. No need for detailed architectural plans—parking design only needs structural and boundary info.

Parking AI is optimized for standard ramp-based structural parking (the 98% use case in India). Mechanical parking systems (puzzle parking, stack parking, car-skid automation) have different logic and are currently outside scope. We're evaluating mechanical parking as a future feature (2026 roadmap).

For standard NBC 2016, no customization needed—rules are built in. For specific municipal variations or unusual site constraints, we can discuss custom rule sets (Enterprise tier only; additional fees apply). Contact our sales team for details.
