1. A method of processing construction documentation, the method comprising:
- receiving, as input data into a processor of a computer, a document directed to a specific construction project as input data; and
extracting, using the processor, location information and context information from the document,wherein the location information defines locations relevant to the specific construction project and the context information comprises text extracted from image data of the document.

Abstract
A method of processing construction documentation includes receiving, as input data into a processor of a computer, a document directed to a specific construction project as input data. The processor extracts location and context information from the document. The location information defines locations relevant to the specific construction project and the context information comprises text extracted from image data of the document.

14. A method of processing construction documentation, the method comprising:
-
using at least one industrial standard to develop an ontology and a taxonomy as defining a domain of construction documents to be used for processing all documents directed to a specific construction project, the ontology comprising a set of concepts and categories in the domain that shows their properties and interrelationships and the taxonomy comprising a common vocabulary to be used for terms found in all the documents directed to the construction project; training a learning model, using a processor on a computer, to extract location information and context information from documents, using the developed ontology and taxonomy such that extracted text comprising the context information is semantically related to said taxonomy; applying the trained learning model to all documents directed to the construction project; and upon completion of applying the trained learning model, storing each document in a database of documents directed to the construction project, each document being stored as annotated with its extracted location and context information. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A method of processing construction documentation, the method comprising:
-
receiving input data as a data-dump of one or more 3D models of a construction project and corresponding architecture and an overall layout for the construction project; providing information from the input data as an input into an analytical model which will automatically infer grid coordinates in data directed to the construction project even when grid coordinates in an engineering document are obscured by other content in an engineering document. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
