Commercial, industrial, and power generation
AI Electrical Plan Checker
Catch lighting symbol inconsistencies, dimming type mismatches, panel schedule errors, and power distribution conflicts. Supports commercial, industrial, and power generation electrical systems. Your AI safety net for electrical coordination.
Best for: Electrical engineers, Electrical subcontractors, MEP coordinators, GCs, Power generation engineers, I&C engineers, Industrial facility owners.
Stop Eating Costs from Symbol & Spec Confusion
When three different drafters use three different symbols for the same fixture type, you're the one who pays for it in the field. In industrial and power generation projects, electrical errors can mean equipment damage, safety hazards, and costly delays. Our AI catches these inconsistencies before you quote—and before you install.
Common issues that lead to costly rework:
- Symbol Chaos: Different drafters, different symbol standards
- Dimming Mismatches: Specs call for 0-10V, but fixtures are phase dimming
- Spec vs. Drawing Gaps: Division 26 says one thing, E-sheets show another
- Panel schedule mismatches with plan callouts
- Circuit assignment conflicts
- Load calculation inconsistencies
- One-line diagram inconsistencies with equipment schedules
- Power distribution conflicts in industrial facilities
- Instrumentation loop sheet coordination errors
What the AI Electrical Checker Catches
AI reviews electrical drawings to identify issues that manual review might miss—from commercial lighting to industrial power distribution and automation systems.
- Same fixture shown with different symbols across sheets
- Lighting symbol legends that don't match plan callouts
- Inconsistent symbols between different drafters
- Missing or undefined lighting type symbols
- Symbol-to-schedule coordination errors
- Dimming types on fixtures vs. spec requirements
- 0-10V vs. DALI vs. phase dimming conflicts
- Dimmer switch ratings vs. fixture loads
- Missing dimming requirements from spec callouts
- Control zone inconsistencies across sheets
- Lighting spec sections vs. schedule mismatches
- Wiring methods in specs vs. drawing details
- Equipment specs vs. one-line diagram ratings
- Color temperature specs vs. fixture schedules
- Emergency lighting requirements vs. plans
- Panel schedule mismatches with plan callouts
- Missing circuits in panel schedules
- Circuit assignment conflicts
- Load calculation inconsistencies
- Panel-to-one-line coordination errors
- One-line diagram inconsistencies with equipment schedules

Real Issues We've Caught
Actual issues found on real projects. Each one would have caused significant rework, change orders, or schedule delays.
What AI Found: One-line diagram showed 400A main breaker on MDP-1, but panel schedule specified 600A main breaker.
Impact: Prevented equipment procurement error and potential equipment damage. Would have required panel replacement.
What AI Found: Motor M-101 shown as 50HP on mechanical drawings, but electrical one-line sized for 25HP with undersized protection.
Impact: Caught before VFD and protection sizing. Would have caused motor overload and nuisance tripping.
What AI Found: Loop sheet showed 4-20mA output transmitter, but P&ID called for HART protocol and DCS specification required Foundation Fieldbus.
Impact: Prevented instrument procurement and I/O module specification errors in oil & gas facility.
What AI Found: Lighting fixtures in Class I Div 2 area specified as standard fixtures, not explosion-proof per equipment schedule.
Impact: Critical safety issue caught before installation. Would have failed inspection and created explosion hazard.

What Construction Professionals Say
GCs, architects, engineers, contractors, and developers use InspectMind AI to catch issues before they hit the field.
"InspectMind caught 47 critical issues on our cold storage project—conflicts that would have cost us millions in field rework. It paid for itself on the first review."
Aaron Bass
Director of Construction, Cold Summit Development
"We used to spend 40+ hours on plan review. Now I upload the drawings, and get back a complete issue report that catches code violations I would have missed. It's a no-brainer."
Julio
Owner, Pesco Engineering
