Description

DAISY is an AI-powered system designed to automate structural timber designs, with a current focus on I-Joist floors. It allows users to upload an empty floor layout and receive a full, production-ready structural timber floor design in approximately 30 minutes. The platform aims to maximize structural design efficiency and assist users in quickly assessing the costs associated with timber designs. DAISY's outputs include a PDF detailing the design, a comprehensive summary of all costs, and a components file with joist coordinates and decking sheets, available in industry-standard formats such as .dwg, .rvt, or .dxf.

The core technology driving DAISY is genetic programming, which employs principles of evolutionary search and natural selection. This iterative process refines design solutions through successive generations until an optimal and compliant design is achieved. DAISY's broader mission is to automate the design, quotation, and procurement processes in construction. Future development plans include expanding its capabilities to stair design, roof plan design, wall framing, and eventually, full timber house design.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does DAISY's Artificial Intelligence work?

DAISY uses genetic programming to find an optimal design. Using the principles of evolutionary search and natural selection, DAISY derives a more efficient solution generation by generation, until the optimum design is attained.
