Document and Material Drafting for Engineering Construction Project Approval: Document Parsing and Chunking

Document and Material Drafting for Engineering Construction Project Approval: Document Parsing and Chunking

What does the data for this category look like

This category's data comes from engineering construction project approval management systems, construction drawing review systems, enterprise qualification databases, and credit platforms, with a daily update frequency. Commonly processed documents include construction permit applications, construction drawing review qualification certificates, quality and safety supervision procedures, completion record forms, and more. Most documents are a mix of structured fields and unstructured text. Some contain embedded approval flowcharts and images of participating unit qualification certificates. Fields mostly involve business identifiers without uniform formats, such as unit names, license numbers, and approval nodes.

Multiple system sources lead to large differences in document formats, requiring adaptation to non-standardized form and report structures. The daily update frequency requires the parsing process to have stable fault tolerance, to avoid interrupting overall tasks due to abnormal single documents. Documents with embedded approval flowcharts and qualification certificate images need support for extracting image content and binding it to associated text. Mixed structured and unstructured content requires retaining contextual associations of key business fields such as approval nodes and license numbers during chunking, to avoid breaking critical information after splitting.

How to configure the settings

For FastGPT v4.17.0, adaptation can be completed using the following configuration items:

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
chunkSize800–1200 charactersAdapts to the text density of engineering documents, retains complete context of approval nodes and qualification information
chunkSplitterSplit by paragraph + headingMatches the chapter structure of engineering documents, avoids destroying logical associations of approval processes after splitting
customPdfParseEnabledSupports extracting embedded construction drawings and qualification certificate images, adapts to non-text content in documents
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300–600 secondsAdapts to the parsing duration of single engineering documents, avoids timeout failures for large approval materials
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE100 MBMatches the common volume upper limit of engineering approval documents, supports large files such as complete construction drawing review qualification certificates
chunkSettingModeManual configurationAdjusts chunking rules for different types of approval documents, balances structured fields and unstructured text

Three common mistakes

  • Symptom: Embedded image content is missing from uploaded PDF documents after parsing. Cause: The customPdfParse configuration item is not enabled. The default parsing only extracts text and does not associate embedded images.
  • Symptom: Parsing fails when uploading a public Yuque link. Cause: The link is not confirmed to be a publicly accessible page without permission restrictions, or the link format does not fall within the valid range for knowledge base parsing.
  • Symptom: HTTP tool parameters are parsed correctly, but the tool does not perform the corresponding operation. Cause: Reasonable request timeout parameters are not configured, or the target request address does not have open access permissions, causing the request to fail to trigger.

How to confirm the configuration is properly set

  • Upload a typical construction permit application PDF, check if the parsed result includes all embedded qualification certificate images.
  • Adjust the chunkSize configuration, confirm that the text length of the chunked results falls within the preset range, and no key approval nodes are split.
  • Upload the largest single approval document, confirm that the parsing process does not trigger a timeout error.
  • Test the parsing process for a public Yuque link, confirm that normal text chunked results are returned.
