Helonic offers an AI‑powered platform that automatically reviews 2D construction drawing PDFs, detecting coordination conflicts, code violations, structural issues, MEP clashes and other defects across more than ten categories. The system pinpoints each problem with exact page coordinates, severity ratings, and detailed descriptions, and can push issues directly to Procore or Autodesk as RFIs with a single click, helping construction teams prevent costly rework before field execution.

Problem
Construction projects lose billions annually to rework caused by missed coordination conflicts, code violations, and design errors that are not identified during manual drawing review. Manual inspection of hundreds of 2D PDF drawings is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and cannot scale to catch all issues before they reach the field.
Solution
Helonic provides an AI‑powered platform that automatically analyzes 2D construction drawing PDFs across more than ten issue categories, including coordination clashes, code compliance gaps, structural concerns, MEP conflicts, fire safety, accessibility, and QA/QC items. The proprietary model, trained specifically on construction drawings, cross‑references every page to pinpoint issues with exact page coordinates, severity ratings, and detailed descriptions. Detected issues can be pushed directly to Procore or Autodesk as RFIs with a single click, integrating seamlessly into existing workflows. By surfacing problems in preconstruction, the platform reduces the cost and time of rework, helping teams avoid the ten‑fold expense of field fixes. The solution scales to thousands of pages, delivering consistent, high‑accuracy reviews that augment, rather than replace, experienced project professionals.
Target Audience
Primary users are general contractors, architects, MEP engineers, estimators, and construction managers who need fast, reliable drawing review to prevent costly RFIs and change orders.
