See it before it costs you: AI design review that catches coordination errors pre-construction
AI-powered design review platform that scans 2D construction drawings across architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines, running 300+ automated checks to flag drawing errors, omissions, and cross-discipline coordination conflicts before they become RFIs, change orders, or city plan-check comments.
Why This Tool Exists
Manual plan review typically takes 6-8 weeks and misses cross-discipline coordination conflicts (e.g., mismatched electrical panels, missing power to equipment, ceiling-device/pipe clashes) and drawing-health defects (missing tags, dimensions, sheet indexing). Errors that reach permit submission or the field trigger city plan-check comments, RFIs, and change orders; Buildcheck cites one high-rise project where a two-foot foundation-slab-thickness discrepancy would have cost $800K+ in materials had it not been caught pre-construction.
Buildcheck ingests 2D PDF drawings and specifications and runs 300+ automated checks across three categories — drawing health, 2D clash detection, and omissions/logical-rule checks — across all major disciplines simultaneously. Flagged issues are prioritized by severity, grouped to avoid duplicate review, marked up directly on the drawings in a web dashboard, and passed through an expert-in-the-loop human verification step before delivery to reduce false positives. Vendor-reported turnaround is 2-14 days versus 6-8 weeks for manual review.

- ·Cross-discipline coordination review (architectural/structural/MEP) to catch clashes before construction documents are finalized
- ·Drawing-health QA (missing tags, dimensions, sheet indexing) across large drawing sets
- ·Backcheck verification that previously flagged issues were resolved in a revised drawing set
- ·Procore-integrated coordination-issue and draft-RFI creation from flagged design errors
