Endra – AI-Powered MEP Workflows Built for Speed

If MEP drawings still take you weeks, you’re going to want to see this. Endra is built for MEP engineers, design‑build firms, and consultants who are drowning in repetitive work. It automates system layout, generates shop drawings, handles wiring diagrams, and keeps code compliance front and clean. On a recent project, Endra turned 300 hours of fire alarm design into just 30 minutes – for a 185,000 m² logistics hub in Sweden. Here’s what it promises: Integrate with tools you already use like Revit Automatically create riser and wiring diagrams Ensure compliance and reduce design‑rework risk Generate documentation from model files in hours instead of weeks In short, it’s like less busy‑work and more time for what matters – designing and innovating. Join me live to see Endra in action! See Niklas and Anton, co-founders of Endra, a Stockholm startup introducing generative design for MEP engineering. Endra aims to get engineers to 0 to 80-90% design readiness in a heartbeat , providing code-compliant models, schedules, and takeoffs. The cloud platform integrates natively with Revit using APIs and is targeted toward large MEP consultancies. Endra's current focus is the electrical module, including fire alarms. The platform processes IFC models , automatically annotates room context , and imports HVAC/structural models for clash avoidance. In the fire alarm demo, after setting the regulatory framework (e.g., BS 5839) and placing the FACP, the "optimize" function instantly places all units across all floors . Endra computes the most optimal cable routes (loops) by considering hundreds of parameters (structural data, voltage drops). Deliverables include IFC models, a Bill of Quantities (BOM), Riser Diagrams, and point-to-point drawings. Designs are imported into Revit via a plugin, mapping to the client's custom Revit families . The underlying technology uses a hybrid model of deterministic algorithms, simulation, and LLMs to ensure consistent, controlled output.
