See installation constraints
Surface possible conflicts involving routing, access, clearances, openings, sequencing, and space for the work.
Find the issue in the plans—not in the field
Run a broader constructability and coordination review before bid, buyout, or mobilization. Groundbook AI cross-checks the project set so your team can raise better questions before schedule and cost are on the line.
Pay as you go. Project reviews start at $100.
Groundbook AI for contractors is an AI plan review that reads the complete bid or construction set—drawings, specifications, addenda, and checklists—and surfaces possible constructability, coordination, and scope issues with the exact sheet and location. Teams use it before bid, buyout, or mobilization to raise questions while they are still cheap to answer.
Ask better RFIsBring source-linked coordination questions to the design team with exact references.
Protect buyoutSurface scope, material, equipment, rating, and quantity questions before commitments.
Reduce field surprisesCatch potential access, sequencing, clearance, and constructability issues earlier.
A systematic set review when the team cannot read every relationship twice
Groundbook AI helps preconstruction and operations teams investigate possible issues across disciplines and requirements.
Reconcile drawings and specs
Find materials, ratings, equipment, quantities, and responsibilities that may not align across the contract documents.
Move decisions forward
Give teams more time to clarify potential issues before procurement, fabrication, or field installation.
Review the documents the way the building must come together
Upload the bid or construction set and focus the review on the risks that matter to your team and trade partners.
Cross-discipline constructability
Compare architectural, structural, MEP, fire-protection, and civil documents for possible physical and sequencing conflicts.
Drawing-to-spec consistency
Review materials, products, ratings, performance, testing, and installation requirements across drawings and specifications.
Schedules, details, and notes
Look for information that changes between plans, schedules, sections, details, key notes, and general requirements.
Your constructability checklist
Run company, owner, lender, safety, turnover, or project-specific checklists across the complete document set.
Review what changed between two PDF drawing sets
Align a previous and current issue, organize meaningful revisions, and focus the review on constructability changes involving access, clearance, routing, sequencing, scope, and trade coordination. Rather than promising a cost calculation, the beta workflow flags changes that deserve estimator or procurement review. A common use is checking the Issued for Construction set against the tender set you priced; see how to find what changed after award.
Available to beta users upon request- Compare issued setsReview milestone, permit, bid, addendum, bulletin, or construction drawing versions.
- Prioritize constructabilitySeparate visual revisions from changes that may affect how the work is coordinated or installed.
- Hand off possible cost impactsGive estimators a focused list to validate without presenting an automated estimate.
Useful before bid. Valuable before the work starts
Upload the contract set
Add drawings, specifications, addenda, checklists, and reference documents from the project team.
Choose risk checks
Select coordination, constructability, drawing-to-spec, checklist, and building code comparisons.
Route confirmed questions
Verify the cited evidence and turn confirmed findings into RFIs, coordination items, or preconstruction actions.
Before and after the tender
Guides for the two moments when drawing questions cost the least to settle: while you price, and when the construction set arrives.
Use the findings to ask—not assume
Groundbook AI helps contractors surface possible issues with supporting evidence. Final design, engineering, means and methods, code, safety, and construction decisions remain with the responsible parties.
- Evidence for focused conversations with design teams
- Findings organized by severity, discipline, and impact
- Results typically ready in 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on project size

What contractors ask
Can we use Groundbook AI during estimating and preconstruction?
Yes. Teams can review bid, permit, or construction documents for possible coordination, scope, specification, checklist, and constructability issues before major commitments are made. Follow the pre-bid review workflow and use the editable question log to track unresolved scope.
Does Groundbook AI create RFIs automatically?
Groundbook AI returns structured, source-linked findings. Your team should verify each item and decide whether it warrants an RFI, coordination item, estimate qualification, or other action.
Can specialty contractors review only their scope?
Yes. The uploaded documents and selected checks define the scope. A specialty contractor can focus on a discipline while still including adjacent documents needed for coordination context. See the subcontractor page for trade scope, shop drawing, and addendum checks.
Can Groundbook AI compare two versions of a drawing set?
Yes. Drawing version comparison is available to beta users upon request, with a focus on constructability changes and estimator handoff. Explore drawing comparison or book a demo to discuss beta access.
