Construction Documentation GPT
Drawing standards, BIM LOD requirements, RFI management, and submittal review workflows.
Conversational construction documentation guide for architects and project teams. Covers drawing set organization (AIA sheet numbering, line weights, scales), BIM LOD requirements (AIA E203/G202), three-part specification format, RFI best practices, submittal process, change orders, and project closeout. Ask about your documentation question and get specific standards-based guidance.
The Problem
Construction documents are the legal basis for the contract — but most offices have no written standard for what goes on each sheet, at what scale, or in what sequence. The result is drawings that read differently across projects and produce more RFIs than they should.
How It Works
Describe your project type, delivery method, and documentation challenge. It provides drawing standards, LOD requirements, sheet organization, and specification alignment guidance — from RFI management to closeout checklist structure.

Who It's For
Project architects and BIM managers responsible for drawing production quality and construction administration documentation.
This tool provides documentation standards and workflow guidance. It does not review your actual drawing files or BIM models. For automated checking of drawing completeness and coordination gaps, use the Drawing Review Agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard sheet numbering convention for architectural drawings?
AIA and NCS use a discipline prefix (A=architectural, S=structural, M=mechanical) followed by a sheet type code and sequential number. Example: A1.01 = Architectural, Level 1, sheet 01.
What is the difference between LOD 300 and LOD 350?
LOD 300 is coordinated geometry with accurate dimensions. LOD 350 adds interface coordination — every connection between systems is modeled and resolved. LOD 350 is the minimum for reliable clash detection.
How do I manage submittals effectively during construction administration?
Use a submittal log with: submittal number, spec section, contractor submittal date, review deadline, return date, and review action. Review submittals within the contract's required window, usually 14 days.
