For MEP & Specialty Subcontractors

Know Where Your Scope Collides — Before You Fabricate.

AI plan review surfaces MEP scope conflicts and trade overlaps in the 2D PDF set — so your fab schedule and your margin don’t take the hit at install.

You fabricate to the issued set and trust it’s coordinated. When it isn’t, the collision shows up at install — after you’ve cut steel, and on your dime.

The reality

What you’re up against

Three things every MEP sub hears on a job that went sideways.

The pattern never changes: a scope overlap hiding in the set becomes a field rework — after fabrication, when it’s most expensive to fix.
“We built it to the drawings and it still didn’t fit.”

The set said one thing; the other trade’s set said another. Nobody reconciled them before fab.

“The clash is our problem even though we didn’t draw it.”

When ductwork and structure collide, it’s your crew standing there at install, not the designer.

“There’s no time to cross-check every trade’s sheets.”

You’re heads-down on your own scope. Manually chasing overlaps across 200 sheets isn’t happening.

The fix

Here’s what changes

1

Same-day review of the issued set

Catch the overlap before you fabricate, while it’s still a redline and not a re-cut.

2

Severity-rated findings with sheet references

Critical / High / Medium / Low, each cited to the sheet and the discipline pair.

3

Re-run before each major fab release

Every addendum re-checked, so you fabricate against a clean set every time.
