Missing interfaces
Look for openings, recesses, supports, and connections required by one discipline but unresolved in another. Confirm whether the scope is shown elsewhere or intentionally delegated.
AI constructability review
Resolve questions before they reach the field
Look for document gaps that could become a procurement question, a coordination hold, or an RFI. Groundbook helps your preconstruction team find conflicting requirements and missing interfaces while there is still time to ask the designers.
Where to focus
What to bring into the review
Procurement requirements
Compare equipment and material information across schedules, plans, and specifications so buyers can ask about conflicting requirements before placing an order.
Installation conditions
Review documented access, clearance, support, and connection requirements together. Use the selected product’s information and site context to assess any potential conflict.
Ambiguous scope and revisions
Identify competing schedules, unclear governing documents, and references to information missing from the issued package. Separate the design question from any contractual interpretation.
Inside Groundbook
Bring evidence to the coordination meeting
Scan the potential findings by severity and discipline, then follow the linked drawing references. Use the evidence to frame a focused design question instead of forwarding an unexplained AI conclusion.
A practical workflow
From the first pass to a decision
Review the package for the next decision
Identify whether the team is pricing, buying equipment, coordinating trades, or preparing an issued-for-construction set. Include the relevant specifications and addenda.
Check urgency with the project team
Review findings against procurement dates, affected work, and the cost of a late design change. The AI severity label is one input to that decision.
Turn verified questions into follow-up
Record the affected sources, ask the responsible designer to resolve the requirement, and carry the response into the project’s existing coordination or RFI process.
From a published project review
A required opening appears in only one discipline
A sump shown in the mechanical/plumbing design was not represented in the corresponding structural slab and footing area.

Groundbook reviews the provided documents. A document review cannot establish actual site conditions or approve means, methods, temporary works, or installation sequencing. Those decisions need the appropriate project expertise.
Questions, answered
FAQs
Can Groundbook help prepare an RFI?
A verified finding can supply the conflicting references and the question your team needs to raise. Review and format it through your project’s existing RFI process; an AI finding by itself is not a formal design response.
When is constructability review useful?
It is useful before a decision makes a document conflict expensive to resolve, such as pricing, procurement, trade coordination, or installation. Choose the review scope around the next project milestone.
Does Groundbook know what is installed on site?
It reviews the information provided. Your team must confirm actual conditions, field changes, selected products, and any information that is not represented in the review package.
