I will extract structured data from technical pdfs and drawings


About this gig
I turn technical documents into clean structured data: vendor datasheets, equipment specs, CAD drawings, BOMs, title blocks, schedules.
I'm an engineer (BSE, Case Western Reserve) who co-founded a solar design automation company, and I built exactly this for it: a production importer that reads manufacturer PDF datasheets into an equipment database, BOM extraction from CAD drawings, and title-block automation across sheet sets. I read these documents the way your engineers do, which is why the output is usable, not just tabulated.
What you get: your fields in your format (Excel template, database rows, JSON, or an API), honest handling of ambiguity (values the parser can't confirm are flagged for review, never silently guessed; wrong data is worse than missing data), and the pipeline itself, not a one-time conversion: re-run it on next month's documents yourself.
How it works: send 3 to 5 sample documents and the output format you want. I confirm feasibility and exact fields before you order, build against your samples, then prove it on a batch you hold back.

FAQ
Can you handle scanned documents?
Yes, with OCR in the pipeline, and flagged confidence on low-quality scans. Native PDFs extract cleaner; send samples and I'll tell you which you have.
Can you read data out of CAD drawings directly?
Yes: DWG text, attributes, title blocks, and BOM tables, not just PDF plots of them.
What about tables that vary between vendors?
That's the normal case. Each vendor family gets its own template; the validation step catches documents that match no known family.
Is my data confidential?
Processing runs on infrastructure you approve (yours or an agreed cloud), and samples are deleted on completion. NDA on request.
