Automate Drawing Review
Using AI to automatically review construction drawings for issues and compliance.
Definition
Automated drawing review uses AI to check construction drawings for coordination issues, code compliance, and quality problems. These systems can identify missing information, dimension errors, symbol inconsistencies, and design conflicts. Automated review accelerates the QC process and catches issues that human reviewers might miss.
In Depth
Automated drawing review uses AI to check construction documents for completeness, consistency, and coordination — the quality control checks that should happen before documents are issued but often do not receive adequate attention under schedule pressure.
The review checks include: cross-reference verification (do all detail callouts point to existing details?), schedule consistency (do door types on plans match the door schedule?), dimension verification (do dimensions close mathematically?), and annotation completeness (are all rooms labeled, all walls identified, all keynotes defined?). These checks catch the common document errors that generate RFIs during construction.
