Hub inventory, safely stored
Rack heights, mezzanine framing, and the sprinkler design are checked against each other on every hub before parts go on the shelves.
Enterprise plan review for auto parts retail
Every store and hub built to your standard
For Fortune 500 and national auto parts chains opening, relocating, and remodeling stores across many states. Catch unframed mezzanines, racking above the sprinkler design, and used-oil storage without containment before the store goes to permit.
- Freestanding prototypes
- In-line conversions
- Hub stores
- Relocations
- Remodels
- Commercial counters
First project free. Volume pricing for 500+ projects a year.
Why teams use Groundbook
What your program gains
Conversions without hidden scope
Existing buildings are compared with the new store set, so demolition, sprinkler, and electrical service questions surface before pricing.
One standard across every state
Every store set is checked against your prototype and the code where it is built, whichever architect drew it.
AI plan review for auto parts retailers compares each store's drawings with one another, with the specifications, with your prototype and store standards, and with the building and fire code that applies at the site. Groundbook flags possible conflicts and gaps, each linked to the sheet it came from, so your construction team and the architect of record can settle them before the set goes to permit or bid.
How it gets there
Common checks for auto parts retail
Each row is a place where the documents for one site often disagree. The review compares them and returns each possible conflict with the sheets it came from.
| Area | What is compared | A question a finding raises |
|---|---|---|
| Racking and mezzanines | Parts racking heights, mezzanine framing, and stairs against the structural and architectural sheets | Does the mezzanine on the fixture plan appear on the structural sheets with a framing plan and a design live load for parts storage? |
| Storage and sprinklers | Rack layout and storage height against the sprinkler design basis and commodity classification | Does the hub store's racking rise above the storage height listed in the sprinkler design notes? |
| Used oil and batteries | Used-oil tank, battery storage, and collection area against containment details, ventilation, and fire code notes | Is secondary containment detailed for the used-oil collection tank, and does the tank sit where the floor plan shows it? |
| Counters and equipment | Sales counters, commercial counter stations, and testing equipment against the power and data plans | Does the battery and electrical testing station on the fixture plan have a dedicated circuit on the power plan? |
| Accessibility | Sales counter heights, aisles between gondolas, restrooms, and the accessible route from parking against the accessibility code at the site | Does the plan show a lowered section at the sales counter, and do aisles between gondolas keep the required clear width? |
| Site and access | Site plan, delivery vehicle parking, trash and recycling enclosures, and stormwater against the civil set | Do the trash enclosure and used-oil pickup area on the site plan line up with the truck access shown on the civil sheets? |

In the program
Where Groundbook fits
Set up the store standard
Upload the current prototype, fixture standards, and your design criteria once. Every store and hub set is checked against them.
Check the set before permit
Run a review when the architect issues a store set. Findings come back in 20 minutes to 24 hours, each tied to a sheet.
Compare a relocation
Overlay the new store plan on the prototype or on the store it replaces with Smart Overlay to see what moved.
Close the findings
Assign each finding to the architect or engineer of record, keep the comments in one place, and export a report or Bluebeam markups.
Enterprise
Built to roll out across a program
The review is the same on every plan. Enterprise changes how you buy it, sign in, connect it, and get help.
Predictable cost at any volume
Volume pricing for programs reviewing 500 or more projects a year, or prepaid credits for up to 15% off. Every review shows its price before you pay.
A fast yes from IT and legal
SSO and MFA, an audit trail, granular access levels, and on-prem or US hosting. Encrypted, never used to train models, and an NDA on request.
Findings where your teams already work
Import from Autodesk Construction Cloud (including Revit sheets), SharePoint, Egnyte, ProjectWise, Box, and more, and send findings into your own systems with the REST API, CLI, or a custom integration.
A team that knows your program
A direct line to our team for onboarding, your review checklists and standards, code sources, and questions about findings.

Questions, answered
What program teams ask
Can Groundbook review a hub store with mezzanine storage?
Yes. Upload the full set, including the racking or fixture plan and the structural and fire protection sheets. The review compares storage heights, mezzanine framing, and the sprinkler design notes across those sheets and flags where they disagree.
We convert existing buildings. Does that work?
Yes. Include the existing-conditions drawings or survey with the new store set. Groundbook checks the new work against what the set shows as existing and flags demolition, sprinkler, and electrical service questions at the boundary.
How is pricing set for a program with many sites?
Programs reviewing 500 or more projects a year get volume pricing. Smaller programs can buy prepaid credits for up to 15% off. Every review shows its exact price before you pay, and the first project is free.
Does Groundbook replace the architect of record or plan check?
No. Groundbook surfaces possible issues with links to their sources. The architects and engineers of record, your own team, and the authority having jurisdiction remain responsible for every decision.
Where is our project data stored?
On AWS in the United States by default, or on-prem for programs that need it, encrypted at rest and in transit. Project data is never used to train models and is visible only to the people you invite. SSO and MFA, an NDA, and security questionnaires are available on request.
