Protect the pro forma from problems hidden in the plans

Add an evidence-backed review across design documents, specifications, owner requirements, and code sources. Groundbook AI helps development teams surface risks while there is still time to protect scope, budget, and schedule.

Review any project size, type, or design milestone.

Groundbook AI for real estate developers is an AI plan review that checks a project's drawings and specifications against the program, owner requirements, and building codes, surfacing possible design coordination and requirement gaps with the exact sheet and location. It gives development teams an independent first pass before design decisions harden into cost.

Groundbook AI gives development teams a repeatable review across the documents that define scope and quality.

01 · SCOPE

Keep requirements visible

Check owner criteria, program needs, design documents, schedules, and specifications for possible gaps or contradictions.

02 · BUDGET

Find cost questions earlier

Surface design and specification mismatches that may affect materials, equipment, allowances, procurement, or change exposure.

03 · SCHEDULE

Reduce downstream disruption

Identify coordination and constructability questions before they threaten permit, buyout, fabrication, or field progress.

Project-wide coverage without waiting for a late-stage surprise

Use a standard owner checklist across the portfolio or tailor the review to a project’s priorities and stage.

Owner and program requirements

Run development criteria, brand standards, lender requirements, program checklists, or project goals across the design set.

Design coordination

Compare architectural, structural, MEP, fire-protection, civil, landscape, and interiors documents for possible conflicts.

Drawings against specifications

Find materials, products, ratings, dimensions, equipment, and performance requirements that may not align.

Building code review

Compare project documents with the building codes that apply and flag items that need a qualified reviewer’s attention. We read the codes and amendments governments publish online, and use licensed codes only where a license allows it.

Add review coverage without another consultant kickoff

1

Upload a milestone package

Add the design set, specifications, development criteria, checklists, and relevant reference documents.

2

Select project priorities

Choose design coordination, requirement, specification, checklist, constructability, or code-source checks.

3

Review with the delivery team

Share source-linked findings with the architect, engineers, contractor, and owner representatives for verification.

Bring the evidence to the people responsible for the answer

Groundbook AI organizes possible issues so development teams can focus conversations. It does not replace the architect, engineer, contractor, code official, or owner representative.

  • Source-linked findings for focused team review
  • Portfolio-ready checklists and project-specific checks
  • Pay-as-you-go and enterprise volume options

What development teams ask

At which project stages can developers use Groundbook AI?

Groundbook AI can review any uploaded document set. Teams can use it at design milestones, before permit or bid, during preconstruction, or when a focused project question needs broader document context.

Can we use the same owner checklist across multiple projects?

Yes. A repeatable owner, brand, program, lender, or delivery checklist can be uploaded and applied to each project’s documents.

Does Groundbook AI replace design or construction professionals?

No. It provides possible issues and source evidence for qualified review. Final design, engineering, construction, code, and ownership decisions stay with the responsible people.
