Architectural Program that "thinks" and can see potential problems of design
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
Creating an architectural program that when PM&E, Civil and Structural, etc. are added to the drawings, the program identifies potential future problems because the drawings do not coincide with each other.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Explore and research with AutoCAD to see how this could be created.

Sounds awesome. Would it ever lock out changes? or just create a new revision every time a change order was added. For liabilty issues on what trade is at fault, it could be cool (we all know the trades in the field are not always 100% like the drawings called for) Could really tell what all is going to be affected by a change, which is huge in construction.

No, it wouldn't eliminate the need for architects, since early planning stages are mostly conceptual and architects are there to help determine what the client is looking for in the beginning in order to begin drawing. Once the drawings have started, this program wouldn't begin working until all trades were on board, and what I was thinking was, it would flag any potential problems that would be in the program as problem areas, some thing like a "Word Spell check" it would just be an "AutoCAD problem Check"
does this eliminate the need for architects at the early stage of planning? is there one recognized method of identifying problems that will be accepted and used by this program?
