Problem
Construction teams spend extensive manual effort reviewing hundreds of 2D PDF drawings, which often leads to missed coordination conflicts, code violations, and other constructability issues that cause costly field rework and delayed project schedules.
Solution
Helonic provides an AI‑powered platform that automatically scans every page of construction drawing sets and flags issues across ten predefined categories, assigning severity levels and precise page coordinates. The system cross‑references drawings against more than 380 building codes and project specifications, delivering a comprehensive issue report in under 30 minutes. Detected problems can be shared with team members, assigned action items, and exported directly as RFIs to Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud with a single click, enabling real‑time collaboration and faster resolution without manual markup.
Target Audience
Primary users are general contractors, architects, and engineering firms (structural, MEP, civil) who need rapid, accurate drawing review, as well as project managers, estimators, and code consultants seeking to reduce RFIs and rework.
Features
- Proprietary computer‑vision AI model trained on construction drawings that analyzes 2D PDFs without requiring BIM models
- Detection of 10 issue categories (e.g., coordination conflicts, MEP clashes, fire safety gaps, accessibility, dimension discrepancies) with severity ratings and exact page coordinates
- Automated code‑compliance checks covering 380+ building codes (IBC, IRC, NEC, IPC, etc.) and specification cross‑referencing
- One‑click generation of formatted RFIs that can be pushed to Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud
- Collaboration dashboard for assigning issues, tracking resolution status, and managing custom checklists across disciplines
- Processing time under 30 minutes per drawing set, scaling to thousands of pages
- Native integrations with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud for seamless pull of drawings and push of issue data
