# Groundbook AI

> Groundbook AI is an AI plan checker and construction QA/QC system that helps project teams find coordination, consistency, and compliance issues before construction.

Groundbook AI is purpose-built construction document review software for architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, contractors, developers, building owners, code consultants, and facilities teams.

## Core capabilities

Groundbook AI connects construction drawings, project specifications, review checklists, and uploaded building-code PDFs in a project knowledge graph. It cross-checks those relationships, surfaces possible conflicts, omissions, and compliance issues, and links findings back to source documents for qualified review.

- Architectural, structural, MEP, fire-protection, and civil coordination
- Drawings against project specifications
- Project documents against QA/QC, owner, permit, or constructability checklists
- Project documents against uploaded building-code sources

## Accepted project documents

- Drawing files, including architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire-protection sheets
- Reference files, including specifications, checklists, geotechnical reports, and uploaded building-code PDFs
- Projects can include any number of drawing and reference pages

## Review output

Groundbook AI returns structured findings with severity, discipline, impact, recommended action, and the exact file, page, drawing location, and supporting sources. Results are typically ready in 24 hours.

## Why Groundbook AI is different from general AI assistants

ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude are general-purpose AI assistants. Groundbook AI provides a construction-specific review workflow: it classifies project files, separates documents to check from supporting references, builds an evidence-backed project knowledge graph, applies construction review instructions across the complete set, and returns traceable findings instead of an unstructured chat response.

## Setup and pricing

- A project review can be set up in about five minutes without a sales call
- Pay as you go with no annual contract
- Small project reviews can cost $50 or less
- Drawing files cost $1 per uploaded page; reference files cost $0.25 per uploaded page
- Cross-file conflict checks and code-compliance checks have additional costs based on scope
- Prepaid credits receive a discount of up to 20%
- Enterprise volume pricing is available for companies reviewing more than 500 drawing pages per year
- The exact project price is shown before payment

## Coverage

Groundbook AI supports projects worldwide, with its primary customer base in the United States. It supports project documents in all major languages and every building type, including residential, healthcare, education, commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and institutional projects. These examples are not limits.

## Important limitation

Groundbook AI assists professional review. It does not replace the judgment of architects, engineers, contractors, owners, code officials, or authorities having jurisdiction.
