Harmony Irving gym and storm shelter: public bid drawing review
Harmony Public Schools put a gym and storm shelter addition at its Irving, Texas campus out to public bid. Mebbian's Bid Engine read the 135 drawing sheets and the project manual, and our team checked the selected findings against the drawings, the project manual and Addendum No. 1. Two questions stood out for bidders. The roof notes give two different wind-uplift numbers for the same steel roof supports, 180 and 150 pounds per square foot. The price form includes a generator, and the documents leave out the size and location needed to price it. This is an independent review of public bid documents. The full review, with the drawing excerpts and the questions to ask the designer, is at mebbian.ai/case-studies/harmony-irving-gym.

Why this tool/tech was selected
We picked this set because it is a live public bid with a large, mixed set: architecture, structure, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and technology sheets, plus a project manual. That is the kind of set a contractor has to price under a short deadline. Mebbian's drawing review agent reads every sheet, compares the sheets against each other and against the written requirements, and writes each finding with the sheet, the exact words from the drawing and a ready question for the designer. Our team then checks each selected finding by hand before it goes on the page. The review shows how drawing review works inside a contractor's next bid.
Challenges the Client Faced before
The set mixes roof notes, structural details, a ventilation note and a price form across more than a hundred sheets. A wind-uplift conflict on one sheet and a generator that appears only on the price form and in the written requirements are easy to miss under a bid deadline. A supplier could price the roof supports to the wrong requirement, and a contractor could leave the generator work out of the number.
The previous method used
Bidders check the sheets and the project manual by hand before they price the job.
Time / Money saved & the Business Impact.
Mebbian's Bid Engine read 135 sheets, flagged 32 discrepancies and drafted 31 questions for the architect on this set. Our team checked two selected findings by hand and published them with the drawing excerpts. Addendum No. 1, dated October 26, deferred the answers to both questions to a later addendum. The outcome is the set of questions a bidder can send before pricing. This review measures what we found in public documents. Time and cost savings at a firm come from a measured client job, and we report only what we checked. Each finding names the sheet and quotes the drawing, so any estimator can confirm it against the PDF in a few seconds.
