Use cases

Get more from your construction documents.

Drawings and specifications hold the information behind bids, reviews, takeoff and planning. AnchorGrid's workflow tools put it to work on revisions and scope with nothing to build, and the AnchorGrid API turns it into structured data for the software you build.

Use cases

01
Addenda & revisionsReady-to-use tool

Addendum and revision review

The problem
Changes arrive across scattered PDFs and emails. Finding what actually changed means re-reading pages by hand, often right before bid day.
AnchorGrid tools
How it supports the workflow
Revision Impact Analysis shows what changed between the original documents and each addendum or revised set, where each change came from, and which scope it affects. No integration to build.

02
Scope coordinationReady-to-use tool

Drawing and specification coordination

The problem
When the drawings and the specifications disagree, or a specified item is missing from the drawings, the gap is easy to miss until it becomes an RFI or a pricing question.
AnchorGrid tools
How it supports the workflow
Scope Conflict Analysis compares a drawing set with its specifications and flags mismatches and missing scope, each traced back to its source. No integration to build.

03
Compliance & reportingBuild with the API

Technical assessments and compliance support

The problem
Assessments and compliance reviews start with finding the right rooms, fixtures, schedules and specification requirements across a large set, usually by hand.
How it supports the workflow
Your review software can assemble these results into checklists, comparisons and report drafts for a qualified reviewer. AnchorGrid supplies the inputs; the compliance determination stays with your team.

04
Estimating & procurementBuild with the API

Trade takeoff, estimating and procurement

The problem
Counting doors and fixtures and reading schedules sheet by sheet is slow, and every revision means doing it again.
How it supports the workflow
Estimating and procurement tools can start from structured counts, tags, locations and schedule rows such as door sizes, materials, fire ratings and hardware sets. Estimators still review the quantities and price the work.

05
Review & routingBuild with the API

Review and approval workflows

The problem
Before anyone can review a submission, someone has to find the relevant sheets, sections and requirements.
How it supports the workflow
A sheet index with sheet numbers, titles, drawing types, CSI divisions and floors lets your system route pages to the right reviewer and attach the relevant specification sections as evidence. Reviewers make the decisions.

06
Project controlsBuild with the API

Planning and scheduling

The problem
Planning and project-controls tools need a structured picture of what is in the documents and where it is.
How it supports the workflow
Sheets organized by floor and division, rooms with areas, and the specification’s division and section structure become inputs for sequencing, location breakdowns and operations software. Your planners build the schedule.

07
Deconstruction & salvageBuild with the API

Deconstruction, salvage and circular materials

The problem
Inventories of reusable doors, fixtures and materials usually begin with someone reading old drawings by hand.
How it supports the workflow
Door and fixture locations, schedule attributes and wall materials give deconstruction planning, salvage inventory and reuse tools a starting inventory to verify in the field.

Why construction documents need more than generic AI.

Drawings contain visual symbols, spatial relationships, schedules, labels and references that generic OCR or LLM workflows often miss. AnchorGrid combines computer vision, document parsing and construction-specific reasoning.

  • Computer vision for drawings

    Detect visual and spatial elements such as rooms, doors, fixtures and elevations.

  • Construction-specific parsing

    Interpret schedules, sheet titles, specification tables of contents and section content.

  • Structured outputs

    Return JSON that software teams can use in takeoff, review, planning and AI workflows.
