Office-to-Residential Structural Conversion Agent with LlamaIndex & Mastra AI

Converting obsolete office buildings into housing often fails due to structural constraints such as deep floorplates and plumbing stack limits. Build a specialized spatial indexing and document retrieval system using LlamaIndex and Mastra AI to evaluate architectural blueprints against residential conversion codes. Deliver conversion feasibility scores in seconds.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Construct an automated structural feasibility parser for commercial adaptive reuse using LlamaIndex RAG and Mastra AI workflow nodes.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates structural feasibility assessments generated from architectural floorplate attributes.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

Challenge Extraction

Ensures deep floorplates correctly trigger daylighting warnings

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

Feasibility Score Variance

Absolute error compared to professional engineering benchmarks • target: 3 • range: 0-10

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Parse multi-page structural blueprints and BIM CAD metadata using LlamaIndex data connectors

  • Formulate spatial evaluation graphs in Mastra AI to test plumbing and daylighting compliance

  • Extract structural load bearing wall positions to flag column grid restrictions

  • Generate cost-per-square-foot feasibility estimates for adaptive reuse
