QA/QC your documents before they leave the office
Helonic is an AI construction drawing analysis platform for architects who review 2D PDF drawing sets.
Reduce RFIs and protect your reputation. Helonic reviews architectural, structural, and MEP sheets together so consultant coordination is your strength, not your risk. If you are choosing vendors, start with best AI for architects reviewing consultant drawings.
What slows down architects?
Architects lose time when consultant coordination, code checks, and last-mile QA pile onto the same CD deadline.
- 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 does Helonic help?
Helonic reads the architectural set against structural and MEP sheets and flags coordination, egress, and schedule mismatches before issue.
For the specific checks, see how Helonic handles code compliance checking against IBC and ADA, schedule verification between door schedules and plans, and dimensional verification on dimension strings.
- Pre-Issue QA/QC. Review documents at DD, CD, and IFC milestones to catch coordination issues before contractors do.
- Code Compliance Verification. Check your designs against IBC, ADA, fire codes, and egress requirements automatically.
- Consultant Coordination Check. Verify that structural, MEP, and civil documents align with your architectural intent.
- Schedule vs Plan Consistency. Ensure door schedules, window schedules, and finish schedules match what is shown on floor plans.
- Dimension Verification. Catch dimension strings that do not add up before they become field problems.
What issues does Helonic catch?
Helonic catches door and wall-type mismatches, IBC egress gaps, consultant clashes, and missing dimensions that become RFIs after issue.
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
What do architecture firms get from Helonic?
Architecture firms get a documented first pass on every milestone set, so fewer issues leave the office and E&O exposure drops.
| Figure | What it measures |
|---|---|
| 50% | RFI reduction: fewer field RFIs reaching your team after issue |
| 80% | Faster QA/QC, with less senior time spent on milestone document review |
| Lower | E&O exposure, by catching errors and omissions before they leave the office |

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.
- 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.
