Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is transforming design and project management workflows. By removing redundancies and automating tedious tasks, AI helps designers work faster. Reviewing architectural drawings, floor plans, and construction documents can be painful, and important changes can be missed. However, by integrating AI, this process becomes faster, simpler, and more efficient.
Compare PDFs with AI Technology for Faster Reviews
The AI-powered Plan Comparison Tool, nominated for the 2025 SBCA Innovation Grant, allows component designers and managers to quickly identify differences between plans without manually scanning PDFs for changes. At the core of this tool is Smart Compare, an AI technology that helps to align and compare relevant architectural drawings. It automatically matches pages, preload comparisons, and detects text, structural, and visual differences, saving time. This workflow speeds up the process and eliminates the potential for costly errors while facilitating better multidisciplinary collaboration.
Quickly Identify Changes with Visual Regression
The new easy-to-use tool compares plans side-by-side and clearly highlights added, removed, or altered content. Whether it’s images, text, drawings, blueprints, or annotations, it provides accurate detection—quickly identifying what is added, removed, or different to keep the review process fast. Users can filter comparisons, focus on specific areas, or select individual pages based on project needs.
Collaborate Easily with Built-In Review Tools
Effortlessly send a PDF for approval or review with the Plan Comparison Tool. The tool enables seamless collaboration directly within the platform. Users can share, comment, tag team members, and create review documents. This provides actionable insights for teams, improving communication, and better project management alignment.
