A Commercial GC's PM Platform
A commercial GC PM platform, built around the way their team runs work.
The problem
A commercial GC was forcing project setup, drawings, RFIs, submittals, and field records through disconnected tools that did not match its operating process. The platform is being built module by module around that process, beginning with project documentation and drawings.
What we built
- Drawings module: deep-zoom sheet viewer, AI title-block extraction, automatic callout detection and click-to-navigate
- Ask-the-drawings search grounded in the real sheet set, with citations
- Revision compare (pixel-diff) and one-click drawing-log export
- A shared project and document foundation for every later module
- Design Loop for RFIs and submittals, currently in active build
What is working today
- The project-documentation foundation and drawings workflow are implemented in the working product.
- Drawing sheets can be indexed, opened in a deep-zoom viewer, searched, and connected through detected references.
- The contractor owns the application and the module-by-module delivery process.
Validated on a real drawing set
122real drawing references testedValidated against an anonymized commercial permit set—not a synthetic demo.
97.5%resolved to the referenced sheetA technical accuracy measure for the callout-detection workflow.
0false positivesNo unrelated drawing text was turned into a callout during the validation run.
What is still in build
- Design Loop: RFIs and submittals tied directly to drawings and project records
- Specifications and connected project-document search
- Later modules for project setup, cost and billing, and field operations
Operating impact we are targeting
Drawing-set setup≈6 hours for a 200-sheet setUnder 5 minutes
Drawing log + Exhibit C≈3 hours manuallyUnder 30 seconds
Revision comparison10–15 minutes per sheetUnder 1 minute
