AI plan review for commercial projects is a first-pass check of office, retail, restaurant, hotel, tenant-improvement, and mixed-use document sets that cross-checks shell, core, tenant, interiors, and consultant packages against specifications, brand or tenant criteria, checklists, and building codes, including those governments publish online. Groundbook AI returns possible scope, coordination, and compliance questions with the exact sheet and location.

A broader first pass across the documents that define the project

Base building, tenant, food service, interiors, signage, equipment, and consultant packages must work as one set.

03 · DELIVERY

Catch turnover risks early

Surface possible gaps that affect long-lead items, inspections, commissioning, accessibility, or opening requirements.

A simple review workflow

Fit more coverage into the review process you already have

1

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.

2

Choose the checks

Select cross-file, drawing-to-spec, checklist, and building code comparisons that match the milestone.

3

Verify with the team

Open findings with their supporting evidence, confirm the issue, and route the right items for action.

Questions, answered

What commercial teams ask

Can Groundbook AI compare landlord and tenant documents?

Yes. Upload the relevant shell, core, landlord, tenant, interiors, equipment, and consultant documents so the review can follow scope and coordination relationships.

Does it work for prototype or rollout programs?

Yes. Teams can include prototype criteria, brand standards, checklists, and site-specific documents in each project review.

Can we use it during a renovation?

Yes. Existing-condition, demolition, phasing, preservation, and new-work documents can be reviewed together when they are included in the project.
