Original abstract
We introduce DrawingVQA, the first benchmark designed to evaluate multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on real-world construction drawings -- a core media in architecture, civil, and many other engineering practices. Unlike natural images or schematic floor plans, construction drawings fuse abstract geometry, symbolic notation, tabular data, annotations, and domain-specific text, forming a uniquely complex visual-textual domain core to engineering workflows. DrawingVQA bridges this gap with 33 "Issued for Construction" drawings and 92 expertly curated question-answer pairs, spanning three reasoning depths: perceptual understanding, contextual interpretation, and domain-expert reasoning. To evaluate model capabilities, we present a dual categorization framework to jointly analyze performance across seven construction-engineering and four MLLM capability dimensions -- the first to explicitly map engineering workflows to AI reasoning competencies. Evaluations of state-of-the-art MLLMs reveal a substantial gap between model and expert performance, particularly at higher reasoning depths. This benchmark lays a foundation for domain-specialized multimodal reasoning to allow for advancement on integration of AI-driven understanding and real-world engineering workflows.
