AI Progress Set Review for Architects

Review drawings at design milestones to catch issues early when they cost the least to fix. Identify coordination gaps, missing information, and design conflicts. Designed for the way architects work.

The Challenges Architects Face

1

Catching cross-discipline coordination errors before IFC

2

Meeting building code requirements across multiple jurisdictions

3

Reducing E&O exposure from drawing errors

4

Managing quality across large drawing sets with tight deadlines

5

Responding to RFIs that stem from drawing ambiguities

How Articulate Helps

Faster Progress Set Review for Architects

AI reviews your entire drawing set in hours instead of days. Architects get comprehensive progress set review (30/50/80% design) results without pulling senior staff off other projects.

Purpose-Built Construction AI

Articulate's AI is trained specifically for construction drawing analysis — not a generic AI tool repurposed for construction. This domain expertise gives architects higher confidence in every detected issue.

Exact Issue Locations

Every detected issue includes the exact page and coordinates on your PDF drawings, plus severity ratings (high, medium, low) so architects can prioritize their review time.

Actionable Results

Turn detected issues into formatted RFIs with one click. Push directly to Procore with issue details, code references, and page locations — no manual re-entry.

Example Issues Articulate Catches

Real-world issues detected by AI analysis, relevant to architects doing progress set review (30/50/80% design):

Egress width deficiency: corridor narrows to 38" at column enclosure (44" min required per IBC 1005.1)

Fire rating discontinuity: 2-hour fire wall terminates at ceiling — no extension to deck above shown in detail

Door schedule conflict: door D-107 shown as 3'-0" on plan but 2'-10" in door schedule

ADA violation: restroom grab bar mounting height shown at 36" AFF (should be 33-36" per ADA 604.5)

Missing information: stair pressurization not shown for required smokeproof enclosure per IBC 909

When to Use Progress Set Review

At 30%, 50%, 80%, or any intermediate design milestone before construction documents are complete.
