Welcome to the Prefab Smart Parser challenge repository! This is the home for the AI for Prefab hackathon challenge, where we aim to revolutionize how prefab product data is structured and utilized in the construction industry.
The construction industry is rich in data but faces a significant challenge: prefab product information is often locked in unstructured formats like PDFs or scattered across web pages. This creates inefficiencies, hinders digital workflows, and limits data-driven decision-making.
Create an AI-powered tool that leverages large language models (LLMs) to extract and structure prefab product data into the mod-dlm standard. This open-source, domain-specific language for prefab construction elements will enable seamless integration of prefab components into digital workflows for architects, engineers, and manufacturers.
All solutions will be licensed and stay under the MIT License, promoting open collaboration and innovation across the industry.
- Tackle a Real-World Problem: Solve one of the construction industry’s most pressing data challenges.
- Showcase Your Skills: Work with AI, NLP, and data transformation technologies.
- Drive Innovation: Contribute to an open-source ecosystem shaping the future of prefab construction.
- Collaborate with Experts: Join passionate developers, architects, and engineers in creating impactful solutions.
- mod-dlm on GitHub: Learn about the open-source standard for describing prefab construction elements.
- Sample Unstructured Product Sheets: Provided in a Google Drive folder.
- Step 1: Identify files containing relevant product data.
- Step 2: Understand the data and transform it into the mod-dlm format.
- Hackathon mentors and resources will be available throughout the event.
- Questions? Feel free to reach out to Yashar directly on Slack.

MOD is an open-source machine-learning powered platform that unlocks the prefab supply chain. We allow architects to do prefab potential checks with price, CO2 impact and delivery time very early in the design phase - 100% model-based and parametric. We give manufacturers access to projects that are now unobtainable.
