Thousands of sheets, dozens of packages
Airport programs are issued in packages by several consultants over years. No reviewer can hold every sheet in mind, so a mismatch between two packages is easy to miss.
AI airport construction plan review
Review thousands of airport drawings as one coordinated set
Groundbook AI reads terminal, airside, landside, baggage, security, civil, structural, and building-system documents together with your specifications and uploaded FAA references, then returns potential conflicts with the sheet behind each one. There is no cap on the number of drawings in a review.
- Terminals and concourses
- Airside paving and lighting
- Landside and roadways
- Baggage handling systems
- Security and screening
- Fuel, utilities, and support facilities
Pay as you go. Project reviews start at $100.
AI airport construction plan review is a first-pass document check across the whole airport set: plans, profiles, sections, details, schedules, and specifications from every consultant and package, compared with each other and with the advisory circulars, security guidance, owner standards, and phasing requirements you upload. Groundbook AI reads every uploaded sheet rather than a sample, so a program of thousands of drawings across several packages is reviewed the same way as a small set. Findings arrive with the exact sheet, station, or location for qualified review. Reality capture, progress tracking, and workforce analytics cover the field; Groundbook covers the documents.

Built for airport projects
A broader first pass across the documents that define the project
Use Groundbook AI at a design, permit, bid, construction, or turnover milestone to investigate possible issues while the team can still resolve them.
Every system meets at the terminal
Aircraft parking, passenger boarding bridges, baggage handling, screening, utilities, fuel, and structure all depend on levels, clearances, and openings set by another discipline.
Build while the airport operates
Phased work, temporary conditions, security boundaries, and airside access shape what each package must show and when.
What Groundbook AI checks
Review criteria shaped around airport work
Choose the documents and checks that match the project. Groundbook AI returns structured findings with exact source references for qualified review.
Plans, profiles, and levels across packages
Compare apron, taxiway, roadway, and terminal elevations, stationing, drainage, and utilities where civil, structural, and architectural packages meet.
Terminal systems and baggage coordination
Cross-check baggage handling, boarding bridges, screening equipment, vertical circulation, and building systems against structure, clearances, openings, and equipment schedules.
Specifications and FAA references
Review drawings against project specifications and the references you upload, such as FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-10H construction specifications, AC 150/5300-13B airport design, security guidance, and airport standards.
Phasing, checklists, and owner criteria
Apply phasing plans, operational requirements, agency checklists, and owner standards to the package and flag potential gaps for professional review.
A simple review workflow
Fit more coverage into the review process you already have
Upload the project set
Add drawings, specifications, consultant documents, checklists, and owner criteria. We read the building codes and amendments that governments publish online. Licensed model codes, such as the I-Codes and NFPA, are used only where a license allows it, and you can upload a copy you're licensed to use.
Choose the checks
Select cross-file, drawing-to-spec, checklist, and building code comparisons that match the milestone.
Verify with the team
Open findings with their supporting evidence, confirm the issue, and route the right items for action.
AI-assisted, professional-led
Airport design, safety, and security decisions stay with the responsible teams and agencies
Groundbook AI compares the documents you upload and organizes possible issues with their evidence. It does not validate runway or taxiway geometry, safety areas, pavement design, security approvals, operations, engineering, or FAA and TSA determinations.
- Evidence linked to every possible finding
- Severity, discipline, impact, and recommended action
- Results typically ready in 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on project size

Questions, answered
What airport teams ask
Where else does AI fit on an airport program?
Document review is one of five stages where AI is used on airport work, alongside planning and capacity analysis, concept design studies, construction progress capture, and terminal operations. The guide to AI in airport construction workflows maps each stage and how mature the tools are.
Is there a limit on the number of drawings?
No. There is no limit on the number of drawings or files in a review. Thousands of sheets from several packages and consultants can be uploaded to one project, and pricing is per uploaded page with the quote shown before payment.
Can Groundbook AI check the set against FAA advisory circulars?
Upload the circulars, standards, and guidance that apply to the project, and include them in the review scope. Groundbook compares the drawings and specifications with those references and returns potential questions with the source pages. Confirming applicability and compliance remains with the engineer of record and the FAA.
Can it review packages from different consultants together?
Yes. Upload the civil, architectural, structural, baggage, security, and systems packages to one project, identify the governing issue and any superseded sheets, and the review follows the interfaces between them.
How does this fit with other AI tools on an airport program?
Reality capture, progress tracking, workforce analytics, and BIM clash detection work on the site or the model. Groundbook works on the issued documents, before and during construction, and can be used alongside those tools.
Does it replace the engineer's or the agency's review?
No. It is a first pass that finds candidate issues and their evidence. Design decisions, code and FAA compliance, security approvals, and operational judgments stay with the project team and the agencies.
