CAD Guardian carries the drawing work. TSmithCode.ai builds the software that helps it move.
Architecture / AEC + MEP
Plans, sections, details, mechanical layouts, electrical documentation, plumbing coordination, and structural interfaces—prepared in native CAD and BIM workflows for professional review.
Explore AEC / MEPProduct / Industrial systems
Manufacturing drawings, equipment layouts, process documentation, BOMs, and release records. Source authority and discipline ownership stay visible through every revision.
Explore product systemsResidential renovations and additions. Commercial interiors and vertical circulation. Industrial equipment and engineered-to-order products. Professional design decisions and release remain with the responsible authority.

On the drawing floor
“The new racks need more cooling. Our floorplan’s already out of date.”
“I’ll line up power and cooling so we’re reviewing the same layout.”
Invented situations across building design, data centers, HVAC, manufacturing, and engineering software. The characters explain roles; they do not represent clients or promise project availability. Specialist roles vary by project.

Execution before expansion.
Choose the smallest reliable method. The tool serves the drawing, the system, and the person accountable for the result.
Resolve a one-off detail in the native drawing. Read the markup, preserve intent, and return it to the responsible reviewer.
Use templates, CAD APIs, scripts, and tests for dimensions, naming, schedules, quantities, and repeatable checks.
Connect an approved tool to an authorized source. Keep permissions narrow, actions visible, and changes reviewable.
Use structured inputs and outputs, test cases, and human review for classification, extraction, and drafting assistance.
Explore options and clarify language with permitted context. Verify the result in the native system before it becomes work product.
The guardian standard / 04
Know the source. Work from the authorized file and record what remains uncertain.
Protect the work. Limit access, isolate changes, and keep a recoverable version.
Earn the release. Reopen native files, inspect the output, and put it before the named reviewer.
A clear first step
Currently honoring an exclusive engagement. Future work begins with a defined drawing package, diagnostic, or implementation scope once availability and fit are confirmed.
