QA/QC your documents before they leave the office

Reduce RFIs and protect your reputation. Helonic reviews architectural, structural, and MEP sheets together so consultant coordination is your strength, not your risk.

What slows down architects

The pressures that make every issued set feel like a liability exercise.

RFI Volume

Every RFI reflects on your documents and takes time to answer.

Liability Exposure

Errors and omissions create professional liability risk.

Consultant Coordination

You are responsible for documents you did not produce.

How Helonic helps

Where AI drawing review plugs into your QA/QC and consultant coordination workflow.

1

Pre-Issue QA/QC

Review documents at DD, CD, and IFC milestones to catch coordination issues before contractors do.

2

Code Compliance Verification

Check your designs against IBC, ADA, fire codes, and egress requirements automatically.

3

Consultant Coordination Check

Verify that structural, MEP, and civil documents align with your architectural intent.

4

Schedule vs Plan Consistency

Ensure door schedules, window schedules, and finish schedules match what is shown on floor plans.

5

Dimension Verification

Catch dimension strings that do not add up before they become field problems.

Common issues we catch

The exact issues that turn into RFIs and field corrections if no one finds them first.

Coordination Issues

  • Door schedule vs floor plan conflicts
  • Ceiling heights vs MEP clearances
  • Structural vs architectural dimension mismatches
  • Missing or conflicting keynotes

Code Compliance

  • ADA accessibility requirements
  • Fire rating continuity
  • Egress width and travel distance
  • Occupancy load calculations

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Helonic check on an architectural set before CD submission?
It cross-references architectural sheets against structural and MEP for coordination conflicts, checks IBC egress, occupancy, and accessibility items, and flags dimension, schedule, and specification mismatches. Each finding includes the sheet and a recommended action so your team can resolve it before the set leaves the office.
How does this reduce E&O and RFI exposure for my firm?
Most RFIs and errors-and-omissions claims trace back to coordination gaps and missing information that a manual review missed under deadline pressure. Catching those internally before issuing the CD set removes the most common triggers for consultant finger-pointing and claims.
Will Helonic coordinate my drawings with the consultants' sheets?
Yes. It reads the full set together, so it catches architectural-structural mismatches, MEP routed through architectural elements, and ceiling conflicts across disciplines rather than reviewing each discipline in isolation.
Does Helonic work at every drawing phase or only at IFC?
It runs at any phase, including SD, DD, 50%, 90%, and IFC. Running it at earlier milestones catches issues while they are still cheap to fix in the model, not after the set is issued for construction.

Co-founder & CTO, Helonic

Manas is the co-founder and CTO of Helonic, where he leads engineering and AI research for construction drawing analysis. He works directly with structural, MEP, civil, and fire protection engineers to translate the way they review drawings into AI systems that flag the issues that actually matter in the field. Before Helonic, he built machine learning pipelines for technical document understanding and has spent the last several years interviewing licensed design engineers and discipline leads to ground product decisions in real practice rather than industry assumptions.

Areas of focus
  • AI for technical document understanding
  • Cross-discipline coordination workflows
  • Code compliance automation (IBC, NEC, NFPA, IPC, IMC, ASCE)
  • Structural and MEP drawing review systems

How this page was researched: QA/QC checks reference the coordination and code-review points architects are responsible for under AIA B101 standard of care, IBC egress and accessibility provisions, and the CSI drawing-set conventions. Issue examples come from Helonic's review of architectural sets coordinated against structural and MEP disciplines.
