AI Drawing Review for Subcontractors
Know exactly what you're bidding. Catch scope gaps, trade conflicts, and unclear details before they eat your margins.
The Subcontractor's Challenge
Scope Gaps
Missing or ambiguous scope items lead to underbidding and margin erosion on every project
Unclear Details
Vague installation details and conflicting specs force you to guess during bidding
Trade Conflicts
Coordination issues with adjacent trades create costly field rework and delays
How Articulate Helps
Scope Verification Before Bidding
Automatically scan drawings to identify missing scope items, ambiguous work boundaries, and items that fall between trades. Build more accurate bids with complete scope understanding.
Coordination Check Against Other Trades
Detect conflicts between your work and adjacent trades—ductwork routing through your framing layout, piping runs conflicting with electrical rough-in, or structural members blocking your installation path.
Drawing Clarity Assessment
Flag unclear dimensions, missing details, and vague installation instructions that would normally surface as RFIs during construction. Get clarity before you commit to a price.
Change Order Documentation
When drawings change between bid and construction, instantly identify what is different and document the scope impact for change order justification.
Field Conflict Prevention
Review shop drawings and coordination drawings against contract documents to catch conflicts before materials arrive on site. Prevent rework before it starts.
