AI Drawing Risk Detection
AI that identifies potential risks and issues in construction drawings before bidding or construction.
Definition
AI Drawing Risk Detection analyzes construction drawings to identify potential risks, ambiguities, and issues that could lead to problems during construction. These systems can flag incomplete information, coordination conflicts, constructability concerns, and scope gaps that might result in RFIs, change orders, or delays. By identifying risks early, AI helps contractors improve bid accuracy and project teams prevent costly issues.
In Depth
Drawing risk detection identifies conditions in the construction documents that historically correlate with change orders, disputes, and construction problems. These are not code violations or coordination clashes — they are red flags that experienced project managers recognize from past experience.
Examples include: ambiguous specification language (multiple ways to interpret a requirement), scope gaps between specification sections (work that no section clearly assigns), inconsistencies between the drawings and specifications (the drawings show one product but the spec lists another), and unusual design conditions (details that differ significantly from standard practice, suggesting they may not have been fully coordinated).
Examples
Identifying ambiguous specifications that historically lead to RFIs
Flagging areas of drawings that are frequently sources of change orders
Detecting scope gaps between architectural and structural drawings
