Private beta for UK OCDEAs

Turn drawings and spec into draft SAP XML in 5 minutes.

SAPThings reads UK planning PDFs, DWGs and specifications, then produces a ready-to-review SAP 10.2 XML that imports directly into Elmhurst. Keep the assessor’s judgement, drop the measuring.

Free during private beta — looking for OCDEAs to try this on a real project and tell us what's broken. Pricing announced when we exit beta; testers get a lifetime discount. More about beta →

Built on how OCDEAs actually work

SAP assessors lose hours to measuring and chasing developers for missing details. SAPThings does both — and hands the file back with every gap flagged.

Vector-first extraction

80% of UK planning PDFs have extractable vector geometry. We read rooms, walls and openings to the millimetre — not pixel guesses.

Intake QC before you run

Three-tier materials check: hard blockers, SAP defaults, and quality improvements. Includes an auto-drafted email back to the client.

XML that Elmhurst accepts

Value-level equivalence with Elmhurst Design SAP 10. Import the XML, review, submit — our generated file is round-trip validated.
