Refrigeration that works at opening
Every case lineup is traced from the fixture plan to its refrigeration circuit, power, drain, and roof support, so nothing arrives on site without a connection.

Why teams use Groundbook
What your program gains
Remodels without closing the store
Phasing, existing conditions, and new work are checked together before a department reset starts in a store that stays open.
Food areas ready for health review
Deli, bakery, and meat rooms are checked against your food safety checklist and the local requirements you upload before the health department sees them.
AI plan review for grocery chains is a first-pass comparison of a store's fixture, refrigeration, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and structural drawings with each other, the specifications, your store standards, and the code where the store is built. Groundbook returns possible conflicts with links to the exact sheets, so your store development team, the architect, and the refrigeration engineer can settle them before the store goes to bid.
How it gets there
Common checks for grocery chains
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Case lineups and refrigeration | Fixture plan case lineups against refrigeration schedules, piping, and case circuits | Does every case on the fixture plan appear on the refrigeration schedule with the same length and load, and is each one on a circuit? |
| Condensate and floor sinks | Case and walk-in drains against indirect waste, floor sinks, and trenching on the plumbing plan | Is there an indirect-waste receptor within reach of each dairy and produce case lineup? |
| Rooftop equipment and structure | Condensers, rooftop units, and refrigeration racks against roof framing and structural loads | Does the roof framing plan carry the condenser weights listed in the refrigeration equipment schedule? |
| Deli, bakery, and meat rooms | Food prep layouts against hoods, grease waste, handwashing, finishes, and your food safety checklist | Is the deli rotisserie oven under a hood on the mechanical plan, and does its area drain to the grease interceptor? |
| Refrigeration machine room | Machine room layout against ventilation, refrigerant detection, and the refrigerant named in the specifications | Does the machine room have the refrigerant detection and exhaust the mechanical code requires for the specified refrigerant? |
| Pickup and fuel | Order-staging rooms, pickup parking, and fuel centers against power, refrigeration, civil, and NFPA 30A | Do the order-staging coolers in the back room have refrigeration and power on the MEP sheets? |

In the program
Where Groundbook fits
Load your store standards
Upload your prototype, case and equipment standards, and food safety checklist once, as references for every store set.
Review each store or remodel
Run a review on the permit or bid set. Findings arrive in 20 minutes to 24 hours, each linked to the sheet and the reference it relies on.
Check the phasing
Overlay the demolition plan on the new fixture plan with Smart Overlay to see which cases move, stay, or leave.
Route to the right consultant
Assign refrigeration findings to the refrigeration engineer and the rest to the architect or MEP engineer, then export a report or marked-up drawings.
From a published review
A review of a 64-page neighborhood grocery renovation returned 47 potential findings across architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical sheets, including details that contradict the scheduled equipment data.

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.

Questions, answered
What program teams ask
Can Groundbook check the refrigeration drawings against the fixture plan?
Yes. When the fixture plan, refrigeration drawings, and schedules are in the set, the review compares case lengths, loads, circuits, drains, and equipment locations across them and flags where they disagree.
Does it help with remodels in open stores?
Yes. Upload the existing conditions, demolition, phasing, and new work sheets together. The review checks that they agree with each other, and Smart Overlay lines up the before and after plans so you can see every change.
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.
