Preconstruction Intelligence

One workspace for plan review, takeoff, and construction details.

Teams review uploaded plan sets, identify coordination issues, measure and annotate drawings, and build scope. Scaled details are drawn on a blank sheet or directly over a plan page. Save the work, then export or print it.

From upload to export

The same pages carry the review, the measurements, the scope, and the detail.

  1. Uploaded plan

    Upload the complete PDF set. Search and read indexed plan information, with each source linked to the sheet.

  2. Review and measure

    Identify coordination issues, annotate the page, and measure lengths, areas, and counts.

  3. Scope and detail

    Develop the scope, and draw a scaled detail on a blank sheet or over that plan page.

  4. Save and export

    Save and reopen the work, then export or print the plan and the detail.

Detail Studio

Draw scaled construction details on a blank sheet, or over a locked page from the uploaded plan. The sheet includes a grid, rulers, and snapping, with dimensions through 1/64 inch, angles, text, and color.

A Check cuts a notch from a board. Nickel Gap and V-Groove tongue-and-groove boards can be placed and edited. Personal and project tools can be saved and reused.

The original PDF is preserved. Detail geometry is saved separately, so you can export the original page or a combined page-and-detail PDF, and print the same result. Controls are touch-friendly on desktop and iPad-sized screens.

Six modules, one set

Upload the documents once. Each module works from the same indexed set, so review findings sharpen the scope, the scope sharpens the bid leveling, and nothing gets retyped.

Plan Review

Reads the full drawing and specification set and reports conflicts, omissions and coordination items, each cited to the sheet.

Learn about Plan Review →

Takeoff

Automatic scale detection plus on-drawing measurement of lengths, areas and counts, with visual verification of every quantity.

Learn about Takeoff →

Scope

Bid-ready trade scope sheets — inclusions, exclusions, clarifications and allowances — written from your documents.

Learn about Scope →

Estimating

Turns measured quantities and defined scope into structured line items with the assumption behind each one stated.

Learn about Estimating →

Bid Leveling

Normalizes subcontractor proposals from PDF, Excel or CSV and exposes coverage gaps, exclusions and price spread.

Intelligence

Ask anything across the project and get an answer quoted from the sheet it came from, with a citation that jumps to the drawing.

What a finding actually looks like

A representative product demonstration of Plan Review and the envelope checklist. Every real finding carries the sheet number and the verbatim printed text it came from, so you can open the drawing and check it yourself.

Missing-reference finding on a residential set: sheet A6.2 calls for detail 4/A8.9 at all window heads, and A8.9 was never issued. Caught before the drywall bid, not after.
The review runs against a checklist of named conditions — envelope, millwork, baths, coordination — and you can add your own rule in plain language.

Why preconstruction, and why now

Cost is decided early

Many costly overruns begin with drawing conflicts, scope gaps and unresolved assumptions that were never caught before bidding — a schedule that disagrees with a plan, a detail called out and never drawn, an allowance carried without a basis.

The knowledge does not scale

The people who catch those problems do it from experience. That review cannot be run on every set, on every bid date, by everyone on the team.

Evidence, not output

Findings, answers and scope items carry the sheet number and the verbatim text they came from, verified against the source — so they can be checked, not just believed.
