From a real project review

See what a review uncovers

Examples of findings from a waterfront hotel and restaurant project.

Life safety · Architecture

Door schedules and fire protection requirements disagreed

Hotel entry doors were listed as unrated where the surrounding separation called for protected openings.

Door scheduleSeparation requirements

The team needed to reconcile the door rating before procurement.

Architecture · Structure

Railing details pointed back to an incomplete requirement

Structural details referred to architectural notes that specified a guard and handrail load below the adopted requirement.

Structural detailsArchitectural notes

The design criteria needed verification before detailing or fabrication.

Mechanical · Coordination

Kitchen exhaust support needed a closer look

A grease exhaust fan was shown on a wood platform without a documented clearance or noncombustible support condition.

Equipment supportCode requirements

The team needed to verify the support assembly and clearance.

What Groundbook checks

Groundbook AI looks beyond a single sheet. It follows the relationships between disciplines and project requirements where costly issues often hide.

Cross-discipline coordination

Compare architectural, structural, MEP, fire-protection, and civil documents for conflicts and missing coordination.

Examples: MEP ↔ STRUCTURE · ARCH ↔ MEP

Drawings against specifications

Find materials, ratings, dimensions, equipment, and requirements that disagree between the drawings and project manual.

Examples: RATINGS · MATERIALS · EQUIPMENT

Checklist conformance

Run your own QA/QC, owner, lender, permit, or constructability checklist across the full document set.

Examples: QA/QC · OWNER STANDARDS · PERMIT

Building-code compliance

Compare project documents with uploaded code sources and surface items that need a qualified reviewer’s attention.

Examples: EGRESS · ACCESSIBILITY · FIRE SAFETY

What is an AI plan checker?

An AI plan checker performs construction document review to surface possible conflicts, omissions, and compliance issues. Groundbook AI cross-checks drawings, specifications, checklists, and code documents and shows the source behind each finding.

What documents can Groundbook AI review?

Groundbook AI reviews construction drawings, project specifications, reviewer or owner checklists, and building-code PDFs. These can include architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire-protection, civil, and other project documents.

Can it review residential and commercial projects?

Yes. Groundbook AI is designed for every building type, from homes and ADUs to healthcare, education, commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and institutional projects.

What countries and languages does Groundbook AI support?

Groundbook AI supports most countries and languages. The review logic is universal, so drawings, schedules, specifications, and reference documents are cross-checked the same way in any language, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian, as well as less common languages such as Estonian, Icelandic, Georgian, Khmer, Amharic, and so on. The list is not exhaustive: if a language is not named here, chat with us and ask, or simply upload a set for free and test it. Mixed-language sets, local drawing conventions, and metric or imperial units are handled in the same review. For local requirements, upload the code or standard that governs your project and Groundbook compares the set against it.

Can Groundbook AI check my local building codes?

Yes. Groundbook detects the codes your drawings cite and already has many in its library. For a local code or amendment it does not have, upload the code PDF or add a link to the public code page. Save an uploaded code PDF once and reuse it on every future project. Uploaded codes stay private to your account and are never shared with other customers. See how local code checks work.

How is Groundbook AI different from ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or Claude?

Groundbook organizes the project set, follows references across documents, and returns structured findings with severity, impact, recommended action, and source locations. Your team can review the evidence behind each issue in one workflow. See the full comparison.

How long does it take to set up and complete a review?

Project setup takes about 5 minutes without a sales call. Upload the project files, select the checks, review the exact price, and pay as you go. Reviews typically take 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on project size.

Does Groundbook AI replace professional review?

No. Groundbook AI supports qualified project teams by accelerating the first review pass and organizing possible issues. Final design, engineering, code, and construction decisions remain with the responsible professionals and authorities.

We do not use your project data to train models, sell it to third parties, or make it available to other customers.
