Keep design intent aligned
Compare plans, schedules, details, elevations, and specifications for requirements that drift as the design develops.
Review the full set before redlines become RFIs
Cross-check drawings, specifications, consultant sets, checklists, and building codes in one review. Groundbook AI helps your team find coordination gaps while they are still design problems—not field problems.
Set up in about five minutes. No sales call required.
Groundbook AI for architects is an AI plan review that cross-checks the architectural set against consultant drawings, specifications, schedules, checklists, and building codes in one pass. It flags possible coordination gaps, inconsistencies, and compliance questions with the exact sheet and location, so the architect of record can resolve them before they become RFIs or rework.

See across disciplinesReview relationships that are difficult to catch sheet by sheet.
Trace every findingGo directly to the supporting drawing, specification, checklist, or code source.
Keep design controlYour team evaluates every finding and makes the final professional decision.
More coverage without another round of manual comparison
Architectural sets carry thousands of relationships. Groundbook AI gives project teams a systematic first pass across them.
Review consultant interfaces
Surface possible clashes and omissions where architectural, structural, MEP, civil, and fire-protection documents meet.
Reduce late surprises
Find questions before permit, bid, or construction—when the team still has time to resolve them cleanly.
A review built around how architects coordinate a set
Choose the documents and checks that match the milestone. Groundbook AI returns structured, source-linked findings for your team to verify.
Architectural set consistency
Compare room, door, finish, wall, equipment, key-note, and detail information across related sheets and schedules.
Drawings against specifications
Look for mismatched materials, ratings, products, dimensions, and performance requirements between the set and project manual.
Cross-discipline coordination
Follow interfaces with structure, MEP, fire protection, civil, landscape, and interiors across the complete project set.
Checklist and code-source review
Apply your QA/QC, owner, permit, accessibility, or code checklist, and compare against the codes governments publish online. Licensed codes are used only where a license allows it.
Explain what changed from DD to CD—with sources
Align two issued PDF sets, organize added, removed, and revised information, and draft a concise change narrative with sheet references for the architect and engineers to verify before sharing with contractors.
Available to beta users upon request- Compare milestone setsTrace changes between SD, Design Development, Construction Documents, permit, addendum, and bulletin issues.
- Draft the narrativeOrganize verified changes by discipline, sheet, location, and project implication.
- Prepare the contractor handoffCall attention to coordination and constructability changes without making estimating claims.
Fit a broader check into the way your team already works
Upload the milestone set
Add drawings, specifications, consultant documents, and checklists for the review. You can also upload a code you’re licensed to use, where your license allows it. Use the design milestone guide to define the expected scope. Follow the architectural drawing review checklist to trace plans, sections, schedules, and details.
Select the checks
Choose cross-file coordination, drawing-to-spec, checklist, and code-source comparisons.
Review with the team
Open findings with their supporting evidence, verify them, and route the right items for action.
Professional judgment stays with your team
Groundbook AI accelerates the first pass and organizes possible issues. It does not stamp, seal, approve, or replace architectural or engineering review.
- Evidence linked to each finding
- Structured severity, discipline, impact, and action
- Results typically ready in 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on project size

What architecture teams ask
Can Groundbook AI review consultant drawings with the architectural set?
Yes. Upload architectural, structural, MEP, fire-protection, civil, landscape, interiors, and other project documents together so the review can follow relationships across disciplines.
Can we use our own QA/QC checklist?
Yes. Upload a firm, owner, permit, or project-specific checklist and include checklist conformance in the review scope.
Does Groundbook AI replace the architect’s review?
No. Groundbook AI organizes possible issues and their evidence for qualified review. The architect and responsible professionals retain all design and professional decisions.
Can Groundbook AI create a DD-to-CD change narrative?
Yes. DD-to-CD change narratives are available to beta users upon request, with source-linked changes for the architect and engineers to verify. Explore drawing comparison.
