About Us

Why we're here

We believe builders should spend their time building, not hunting for issues across a thousand sheets.

Modern buildings are designed by dozens of specialized disciplines on compressed schedules, while the industry's most experienced reviewers retire. What slips through shows up on site as RFIs, change orders, and delays. Design errors cost the industry more than $200B a year.

In 2023, we saw an industry still reviewing drawings by eye, sheet by sheet. 3D clash detection helped, but it needs models most projects don't have, and it misses the 2D issues behind most field problems.

Between the founders, we had managed $3B+ in hospital projects, developed real estate, and built enterprise software. So we founded Buildcheck to build the tool we wished we'd had.

What we do

We teach AI to read construction drawings like an expert.

Buildcheck reviews entire drawing sets ond specs across every discipline. It runs 500+ checks for errors, omissions, and coordintion conflicts before they reach the field. Construction experts verify every finding, so teams get real issues, not noise.

From early design through construction, we backcheck revisions, summarize what changed, and turn a firm's own QA/QC standards into custom review agents. It works on the PDFs teams already have: no 3D models, no setup, no seat limits.

Buildcheck is also being used for code compliance reviews and volue engineering, with new modules being added every month.

More than 110 developers, general contractors, and orchitects use Buildcheck today, and they typically see over 20x return on investment.

Where we're going

Design review is where we start.

Today, Buildcheck catches errors on hospitals, dota centers, multifamily, schools, and high-rises before they become change orders. We're rapidly improving code reviews and volue engineering. Al assistants come next, and in time, anything a person does to read, review, or draft drawings will become Al assisted in Buildcheck.

We're working toward a construction industry that is faster, smarter, and less wasteful, where the drawings are right before anyone breaks ground.

Questions general contractors ask

What drawing types and disciplines do you support?

Buildcheck reviews full 2D PDF sets across all disciplines architectural, structural, MEP, civil, landscaping, fire protection, low-voltage, and more — across all drawing types plans, sections, elevations, details to find coordination errors and omissions that would otherwise cost your project hundreds of thousands of dollars on site.

How long does a review take?

Intake takes about five minutes and a full review can take 5 to 10 days depending on the number of drawings - versus 4-6 weeks for a comparable manual review.

Does Buildcheck work with our tools?

Yes. Buildcheck is integrated with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud and we are adding more connections soon.

Can we run it on every revision?

Yes. Back-checks are free, and automatically tell you which issues have been resolved and which are still outstanding between revisions — so review stays continuous and on one platform.

What size project is BuildCheck a fit for?

Best fit is $10M+ hard cost with sets at 50–90% of construction documents — detailed enough to check, early enough to fix.

Is our data secure?

BuildCheck is SOC 2 Type II compliant, with annual audits and penetration testing.

How much training does the team need?

Minimal — plus, Buildcheck offers white glove onboarding and customer support at no extra cost.
