Systems and methods for generating programmatic designs of structures

A system for generating a programmatic description of a design of a structure, comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory accessible by the processing system storing instructions that when read by the processing system direct the processing system to:
• receive a building information model (BIM);
• identify features in the BIM;
• determine a list of candidate components corresponding to the identified features from the BIM;
• resolve parameters for each component in the list of candidate components;
• generate a programmatic description of the structure based on the list of candidate components of the resolved parameters;
• receive a first updated BIM;
• identify updated features in the first updated BIM;
• determine a second list of candidate components corresponding to the updated features;
• update the programmatic description of the structure based on the second list of candidate components;
• perform an error check to determine whether a rule in a plurality of rules for the structure has been violated using the programmatic description;
• construct a third list of candidate components based on the second list of candidate components which resolves the violation;
• generate a second updated BIM based on the third list of candidate components;
• and
• provide the second updated BIM and the third list of candidate components.
