Coordination Review for Owners

Why Owners Need Coordination Review

Owners carry accountability for overall project budget, schedule, and risk exposure. A common friction point: absorbing the cost and schedule impact of design errors that surface during construction, often well after they could have been caught cheaply.

Coordination Review addresses this head on, applied when drawings from multiple disciplines need to be checked against each other. The goal is straightforward: surface conflicts between architectural, structural, and MEP drawings before they reach the field.

What Structured AI Checks for Owners

For owners running coordination review, Structured AI uses Overlay, which auto-aligns sheets from different disciplines, even at different scales, so cross-discipline conflicts show up without manual light table work. Findings are scoped to what this role is actually on the hook for, not a generic error list, but issues organized around overall project budget, schedule, and risk exposure.

A 30-minute AI-powered check running on every project set, in place of what used to take days of manual review, is the kind of shift documented in Structured AI's work with Syska Hennessy Group, one of the largest MEP firms in the US, and it's the same shift that protects an owner's schedule and budget from downstream rework.

Where This Fits in Your Workflow

Coordination Review for owners usually happens when drawings from multiple disciplines need to be checked against each other. Structured AI works on .pdf, .dwg, .rvt, and .ifc files, and for Revit modeled projects, the Revit Add-In runs the same checks directly against live geometry with element level results, no export needed. Findings can be exported and assigned by trade or discipline, so the review step slots into the existing document workflow instead of adding a new one.

FAQ

How is coordination review different from a general plan check? Coordination Review is scoped to what actually matters at this stage of the project and for this role: surface conflicts between architectural, structural, and MEP drawings before they reach the field. It uses Structured AI's deterministic checks rather than a confidence-scored, probabilistic flag.

Do owners need special training to use this? No. Upload the relevant drawings and specifications, or connect the Revit model directly, and findings come back organized the way owners already review work. Teams can also build Custom Checks in plain English without writing any code.

Can findings be shared with the rest of the project team? Yes. Every finding links back to the exact sheet and location, and can be exported and assigned by trade or discipline for team wide visibility and follow up.
