Developers build the current prototype
Each developer set is checked against your latest release, so an old cooler wall or checkout layout goes back before construction, not after.
Enterprise plan review for dollar and discount stores
Hundreds of new stores, one consistent review
For Fortune 500 discount chains and the developers who build their stores. Every developer set is checked against your current prototype and the local code as it arrives, so volume never means skipping the review.
- New small-box stores
- Build-to-suit developments
- Pre-engineered metal buildings
- Cooler and freezer additions
- Relocations
- Remodels
First project free. Volume pricing for 500+ projects a year.
Why teams use Groundbook
What your program gains
Rural sites without surprises
Septic, well, and utility connections and the local code edition are checked on every set, not only the ones near headquarters.
Review keeps pace with the rollout
Each set returns in 20 minutes to 24 hours, so reviews keep up with hundreds of openings a year without a larger team.
AI plan review for dollar and discount stores is a first-pass comparison of each developer-issued store set with your prototype and tenant criteria, the specifications, the site and utility drawings, and the code the local jurisdiction adopted. Groundbook returns possible conflicts and missing information with links to the sheets, so your construction team and the developer's architect can fix them before permit.
How it gets there
Common checks for dollar and discount stores
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Prototype conformance | Developer-issued floor, fixture, and elevation sheets against your current prototype and tenant criteria | Does the developer's set use the current cooler wall and checkout layout, or an earlier prototype release? |
| Metal building interfaces | Pre-engineered metal building notes against foundations, anchor bolts, and the deferred submittal list | Is the metal building package listed as a deferred submittal, and do the anchor bolt notes describe the same building dimensions? |
| Cooler and freezer additions | Added walk-in coolers and freezers against electrical capacity, condensing units, and roof structure | Does the panel schedule have room for the added condensing units shown on the refrigeration plan? |
| Site utilities | Septic, well, and utility connections against the civil plans and health department criteria | Does the building sewer on the plumbing plan leave the building where the civil sheet shows the septic tank, at a matching invert? |
| Accessibility | Parking, accessible route, entrance, restrooms, and checkout against the accessibility code | Does the accessible route from the van-accessible stall to the entrance stay clear of the delivery truck path on the site plan? |
| Local code edition | Code summary and life safety plan against the code edition and amendments the jurisdiction adopted | Does the code summary cite the edition this county adopted, or the prototype's default edition? |

In the program
Where Groundbook fits
Publish the prototype once
Upload the current prototype set and tenant criteria. Every developer set is reviewed against the same references.
Review each developer set
Run a review when a developer submits a set for your approval. Findings arrive in 20 minutes to 24 hours, each linked to its sheet.
Spot the deviations
Overlay the developer's floor plan on the prototype with Smart Overlay to see every site-specific change.
Send findings back
Share the project with the developer's architect, assign findings, and export a report or Bluebeam markups for resubmittal.
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 developers and their architects see the findings?
Yes. Share the project with them and they see the same findings, sources, and comments. There is no per-seat fee, so inviting each developer's team costs nothing.
Can Groundbook keep up with hundreds of store sets a year?
Each review runs on its own and returns in 20 minutes to 24 hours, so sets can be reviewed as they arrive. Programs reviewing 500 or more projects a year get volume pricing.
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.
