The Project

An anonymized outpatient healthcare clinic in Texas with a complete drawing set, specifications, and referenced codes (IBC 2021, IFC 2021, IPC 2018, IMC 2018). InspectMind cross-checked drawings and specs across Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and Civil—flagging critical compliance and coordination issues before permit review.

Sample Findings

Missing Emergency Lighting Designations

Electrical room and egress corridors lacked emergency power designations for fixtures—no "EM" tags, shading, or emergency panel references.

Guardrail Height Below Code Minimum

Patio guardrail detailed at 36" where 42" minimum is required for the adjacent drop condition.

Accessible Water Closet Centerline Out of Range

WC centerline dimensioned at 21" from side wall—exceeds ICC A117.1 maximum of 18".

Insufficient Concrete Cover at Exterior Stair

Exterior stair reinforcement cover specified at 1" where durability minimum requires 1-1/2" per ACI 318.

Missing Smoke Barriers for Ambulatory Care

Floor plan lacks required smoke barriers for an ambulatory care facility exceeding 10,000 SF, creating life safety risk and plan review rejection.

Why It Matters

Prevented permit rejections and plan check delays
Reduced risk from life safety and accessibility gaps
Caught structural and MEP contradictions before construction
Clear scope for RFIs and corrective action

"These were the exact issues that would have stalled plan review. Catching them early saved weeks and avoided costly redesign."
