Groundbook AI provides quantity takeoffs, construction plan review, and QA/QC for architects, engineers, contractors, developers, owners, and plan examiners. Quantity takeoffs include counts marked on the drawing for verification. It cross-checks drawings with specifications, checklists, reports, and building-code references to surface potential issues before permit submission, bidding, or construction.
Teams upload PDF or DWG drawings and supporting documents, then choose review presets or write their own instructions. Groundbook checks consistency within a discipline, coordination across architectural, structural, MEP, fire-protection, and civil documents, and agreement between drawings and project requirements. Code reviews cite the sections used; licensed codes are used where permission allows.
Findings include severity, discipline, impact, recommended action, and evidence linked to the exact file, page, and drawing location. Reviewers can inspect highlighted sources, assign issues, add comments, and export results. Smart Overlay automatically aligns drawings to help compare disciplines or revisions.
Groundbook works in a web browser and supports multilingual documents and teams. Reviews typically take 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on project size. The first eligible project is free; subsequent reviews use pay-as-you-go pricing, with the complete quote shown before payment and no per-user fee. Groundbook supports professional review, while final design and construction decisions remain with the responsible team.
