A specialist automated screening for bridge and heavy-structural drawings — it flags potential conflicts, missing details, and constructability issues, each with the evidence behind it, for your engineer of record to evaluate.
Built for bridges, DOT, structural steel and precast. Works on building structural sets too. Your engineer of record stays in charge — AECOverse is a tool that supports the review, it doesn't replace it.
What a screening returns
AECOverse screens a drawing set against its specs, contract drawings, and codes, and flags potential issues — each tied to the exact sheet and the values behind it — for your engineer of record to review and disposition.
A callout that fights the schedule, a section that fights the elevation, a bearing that fights the point of fixity.
An empty bar schedule against drawn reinforcement, an absent detail a callout points to, a material grade never stated.
Bolts with no wrench access, a splice segment too long to ship, a sequence that contradicts the camber basis.
A finding looks like this
Where the depth is
The hard checks generalist tools don't reach — fracture-critical designation, weld prequalification, strand debond limits, distortion-induced fatigue, camber and geometry control, and the state DOT amendments that override plain AASHTO. Reviews are shaped by real complex-bridge and heavy-structural practice.
Building structural sets are welcome too — the same review engine, with a building-structural rule set.
How it works
Upload the plan set or shop-drawing package and tell us the project type and page count. Bridge, DOT, steel, precast — or building structural.
Your set is screened against specs, contract drawings, and codes, and each issue is flagged with the evidence. Findings are advisory — your engineer of record verifies them.
Findings placed on the sheet with the evidence and a basis, ranked by severity — typically within one to two business days.
Best used at 60–90% design and for shop-drawing and submittal QA — where there's enough detail to catch real issues while they're still cheap to fix. A lighter check is available at 30%, and a final pass at 100% / IFC.
Standards we check against
Every screening is cross-checked against the governing codes and the project's own specs and contract drawings — plus the state and local amendments that modify them. We check against these; the engineer of record confirms compliance.
Your drawings stay yours
The most sensitive thing you can hand a reviewer is a pre-award design. Here is exactly what happens to it.
Your drawings are never used to train any model. They can't resurface in a competitor's results — that's a contractual guarantee of the review path we use.
Every project runs in its own isolated space, encrypted, with no cross-customer access — and your files are deleted after the review is delivered.
Our checks come from public standards and authorized data — never from your files. NDAs on request; delete-on-delivery for pre-award work.
We never train on your drawings — not us, not the model.
Pricing
A single rejected structural submittal runs about $800 and two to four weeks. One caught conflict pays for the review many times over.
You see your exact price the moment you enter your sheet count — no waiting on a quote. Final price is based on the actual sheet count.
