Why teams use Groundbook
What your program gains
No unpriced scope at the lease line
Landlord and tenant work are compared with what the drawings assign, so a gap shows up before pricing, not as a change order.
The same store in every center
Your store standard is applied to every set, whichever local architect adapts it to the space.
AI plan review for specialty retail chains compares each in-line store set with the landlord's tenant criteria, the lease work exhibit, your store standards, the specifications, and the code at the site. Groundbook flags possible conflicts and missing scope with links to the sheets, so the retailer's construction team, the architect, and the landlord can agree on them before permit and pricing.
How it gets there
Common checks for specialty and off-price 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord tenant criteria | Storefront, signage, ceiling, and finish sheets against the landlord's tenant criteria | Does the storefront elevation keep the sign band height and lease-line setback the tenant criteria require? |
| Landlord and tenant scope | The responsibility matrix in the lease exhibit against what the drawings assign to each party | The drawings show a new electrical service, but the lease exhibit lists it as landlord work. Which document governs? |
| Fire protection | Sprinkler notes, ceiling heights, and stockroom shelving against the landlord's sprinkler requirements | Does the stockroom shelving reach a height the existing sprinkler system was not designed for? |
| Fitting rooms and accessibility | Fitting rooms, cash wraps, aisles, and restrooms against the accessibility code at the site | Is at least one fitting room accessible, with turning space and a bench, and is part of the cash wrap at an accessible height? |
| Power, data, and lighting | Fixture plan, cash wrap, and display lighting against the power, data, and lighting plans and the service the landlord provides | Do the display lighting and cash wrap loads fit within the electrical capacity the tenant criteria give the space? |
| Demising and existing conditions | Demising walls, existing conditions, and demolition against the new store plan and code analysis | Does the demising wall type on the floor plan carry the fire rating the code analysis requires for that separation? |

In the program
Where Groundbook fits
Upload the criteria
Add the landlord's tenant criteria and lease exhibit with your store standards. They become the references for that store's review.
Review before landlord submission
Run a review before the set goes to the landlord and to permit. Findings come back in 20 minutes to 24 hours.
Compare to the last store
Overlay the new plan on a recent store of the same format with Smart Overlay to see where it departs.
Assign and share
Route findings to the architect, the engineer, or the landlord's tenant coordinator, and export a report or Bluebeam markups for the comment round.
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.

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

Questions, answered
What program teams ask
Can Groundbook check our set against a landlord's tenant criteria?
Yes. Upload the tenant criteria manual and the lease work exhibit as reference files with the store set. The review flags where the drawings disagree with them, with links to the sheet and to the page of the criteria.
Does it work for small stores on short schedules?
Yes. Setting up a project takes about five minutes, and findings usually arrive in 20 minutes to 24 hours. Pricing is per project and per page, so a small store set costs less than a large one.
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.
