Pay as you go. Project reviews start at $100.
AI plan review for government and civic projects is a first-pass check of public-safety, library, museum, cultural, and civic document sets that cross-checks drawings, specifications, and consultant packages against public-agency requirements, accessibility criteria, checklists, and building codes, including those governments publish online. Groundbook AI returns possible requirement and coordination questions with the exact sheet and location for qualified review.
Apply agency standardsCompare project documents with uploaded owner, facility, security, and program criteria.
Review public interfacesCheck accessibility, egress, service, security, operations, and public-facing spaces.
Connect old and new workFollow existing conditions, demolition, preservation, phasing, and new construction.
Built for government & civic 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.
Coordinate specialized needs
Public safety, collections, archives, community spaces, courts, worship, and operations require distinct systems and adjacencies.
Review renovation constraints
Historic fabric, occupied operations, hazardous-material information, phasing, and new systems must align across the set.
What Groundbook AI checks
Review criteria shaped around government & civic work
Choose the documents and checks that match the project. Groundbook AI returns structured findings with exact source references for qualified review.
Agency and program requirements
Compare rooms, functions, equipment, finishes, security, accessibility, operations, and owner standards with the drawings.
Drawing and specification consistency
Review materials, products, ratings, schedules, details, performance criteria, and responsibility across documents.
Existing, demolition, and new work
Cross-check survey information, protection, removals, phasing, preservation, structure, and new building-system interfaces.
Checklist and code review
Apply agency, permit, funding, accessibility, preservation, owner, and project-specific review criteria.
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
Public accountability still depends on qualified review
Groundbook AI helps teams investigate possible gaps. Owners, agencies, architects, engineers, preservation specialists, security experts, contractors, and authorities make all project decisions.
- 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 government & civic teams ask
Can we include agency design standards and owner project requirements?
Yes. Upload agency standards, owner project requirements, facility criteria, security criteria, checklists, and other relevant source documents.
Can Groundbook AI review historic-preservation work?
It can compare uploaded existing-condition, demolition, preservation, new-work, consultant, and specification documents for possible coordination and consistency issues.
Does it make procurement or public-code determinations?
No. It provides possible findings for qualified review and does not replace procurement, legal, code, funding, design, engineering, or authority decisions.
