Redundancy kept on every site
Each building's one-lines, generators, and cooling are checked against the reference design basis, so a site adaptation does not quietly drop redundancy.
Enterprise plan review for data center programs
Every campus building true to your reference design
For Fortune 500 technology companies, colocation providers, and enterprise operators repeating a reference design across campuses. Catch lost redundancy, mismatched equipment ratings, and cooling short of the IT load before long-lead equipment is released.
- Hyperscale campuses
- Colocation buildings
- Enterprise data halls
- Phased campus buildings
- Substations and utility yards
- Retrofits and expansions
First project free. Volume pricing for 500+ projects a year.
Why teams use Groundbook
What your program gains
Long-lead orders placed with confidence
Equipment ratings and quantities are checked across schedules and plans before switchgear, generators, and chillers are released.
Phases that connect
Each new building is checked against the utility yards, substations, and site systems the campus already shares.
AI plan review for data center programs is a first-pass check of electrical, mechanical, fire protection, structural, architectural, and civil documents against each other, the specifications, your reference design, and the building code. Groundbook flags possible conflicts and gaps with links to the exact sheets, so your design and construction teams and the engineers of record can resolve them before long-lead equipment is released.
How it gets there
Common checks for data center programs
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Reference design conformance | Building one-lines, equipment schedules, and layouts against the reference design and design basis | Does this building's generator count provide the redundancy the reference design basis calls for? |
| Electrical distribution | Utility service, switchgear, generators, uninterruptible power supplies, and PDUs against one-line diagrams, schedules, and plans | Does the uninterruptible power supply rating on the one-line diagram match the equipment schedule and the space shown on the electrical room plan? |
| Cooling and white space | Cooling plant, air handlers, and rack layouts against the mechanical design and the data hall plans | Does the cooling capacity on the mechanical schedule cover the IT load per hall stated in the design basis? |
| Fire protection | Preaction and clean agent systems, detection, and room integrity against the architectural and mechanical drawings | Are the dampers and sealed penetrations needed to hold the clean agent concentration shown on the room's walls and ducts? |
| Generators and fuel | Generator yards, fuel tanks, day tanks, and fuel piping against the code, the site plan, and the structural pads | Do the fuel storage quantities at the generator yard match the tanks and containment shown on the civil and structural sheets? |
| Structure and site | Equipment loads, roof-mounted equipment, and utility interconnects against the structural and civil drawings | Does the roof framing carry the heat rejection equipment weights listed on the mechanical schedule? |

In the program
Where Groundbook fits
Load the reference design
Upload the reference design set and design basis once. They become the references for every building and campus.
Review each building set
Run a review as each building issues for permit or construction. Findings arrive in 20 minutes to 24 hours, each linked to its sheet.
See every departure
Put a building's plan and the reference plan in one frame with Smart Overlay, which aligns the two drawings for you.
Coordinate the teams
Assign findings to the electrical, mechanical, or fire protection engineer of record and export marked-up drawings or Bluebeam markups for coordination.
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 compare a campus building with our reference design?
Yes. Upload the reference design and design basis as reference files with the building set. The review flags where the building's one-lines, schedules, and layouts depart from them, and Smart Overlay lines up the two plans so you can see each change.
Can it handle a full data center set?
Yes. Groundbook supports any number of drawing and reference pages and reviews the electrical, mechanical, fire protection, structural, and civil drawings together. Sets are priced by page, and the exact price is shown before you pay.
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.
