AI Engineering & Construction

ClaudusBridge includes an engineering system for professional construction workflows. The AI builds structures piece by piece, inspecting each step — exactly like a real engineer on a construction site.

---

Philosophy

The AI should never spawn entire buildings at once. It surveys the terrain, plans the structure, places each piece individually, verifies alignment, and audits the result. This is a delicate process — engineering firms will use this for real architectural projects.

Engineering Actions

All actions are accessed through the ai_engineer tool:

Action	Description
survey	Inspect terrain at coordinates — returns ground height, slope, nearby actors
place	Place a building piece with validation (door width, stair rise/run, bounds check)
verify	Navigate to a placed piece and inspect it visually
audit	Full structural audit — errors, warnings, piece inventory, total bounds
demolish	Remove a specific piece by its label
clear	Remove all pieces matching a prefix (e.g., clear all "H_" pieces)

Construction Workflow

Phase 1: Site Survey

# Survey the build location
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{
    "name":"ai_engineer","arguments":{"action":"survey","x":0,"y":0}}}'

Evaluate the terrain: is it flat? Are there obstacles? What's the ground height?

Phase 2: Foundation

Place the foundation slab first — this is the base everything sits on.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{
    "name":"ai_engineer","arguments":{
      "action":"place","type":"cube","label":"Foundation",
      "x":0,"y":0,"z":0,"scale_x":12,"scale_y":10,"scale_z":0.3}}}'

Capture and verify before proceeding.

Phase 3: Structural Elements

Build in order:

1. Pilares (structural columns) at corners and load-bearing points
2. Muros exteriores (exterior walls) — pared por pared
3. Divisiones interiores (interior walls) — creating rooms
4. Huecos for doors and windows — proper dimensions

Phase 4: Openings

Real-world window dimensions:

• Window: starts ~90cm from floor, ~120cm tall, ~100-150cm wide
• Door: starts at floor level, ~200cm tall, ~90cm wide
• Garage door: ~250cm tall, ~300cm wide

Phase 5: Second Floor (if applicable)

1. Place floor slab on top of first floor walls
2. Repeat pilares, muros, divisiones for second floor
3. Verify structural alignment with first floor

Phase 6: Roof

Options:

• Flat roof (simple slab)
• Gable roof (two angled slabs meeting at ridge)
• Hip roof (four angled faces)

Phase 7: Audit

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{
    "name":"ai_engineer","arguments":{"action":"audit","prefix":"H_"}}}'

Inspection Protocol

After placing EVERY piece:

1. Navigate to inspection position (smooth movement)
2. Capture the editor view
3. Read the image — actually look at it
4. Evaluate — is the piece correctly positioned? Right size? Aligned?
5. Fix if needed (demolish and re-place)
6. Proceed to next piece only after verification

---

Demolition

Remove a specific piece

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{
    "name":"ai_engineer","arguments":{"action":"demolish","label":"H_Wall_Left"}}}'

Clear all pieces with a prefix

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{
    "name":"ai_engineer","arguments":{"action":"clear","prefix":"H_"}}}'

Best Practices

• Always survey before building — know the terrain
• Build foundation first — everything depends on it
• One piece at a time — never batch-spawn entire structures
• Verify every piece — capture and visually inspect after each placement
• Use real-world proportions — walls 300cm tall, doors 200cm, windows start at 90cm
• Audit periodically — check structural integrity during construction
• Name pieces consistently — use prefixes like H_ for easy management
