Catch errors before construction
AI Plumbing Plan Checker
Cross-reference drainage fixture units (DFUs) against pipe sizing and code requirements. Find riser diagram inconsistencies, fixture schedule mismatches, and piping capacity issues. Results in days, not weeks.
Best for: Plumbing engineers, MEP coordinators, GCs, Plan reviewers.
Why Plumbing Errors Cost So Much
Plumbing drawings define water supply, waste, and vent systems. DFU calculations must match pipe sizing, and code requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Plumbing coordination issues are especially costly because they often require field rerouting that affects multiple trades. Undersized condensate lines cause flooding and equipment damage.
Common issues that lead to costly rework:
- DFU calculations that don't match pipe sizing
- Condensate lines undersized for AHU count
- Riser diagram inconsistencies between floors
- Fixture schedule mismatches with plan callouts
- Piping conflicts with structural beams and columns
- Missing plumbing details and specifications
- Coordination conflicts with architectural features
- Code compliance violations (UPC, IPC, local codes)
What the AI Plumbing Checker Catches
AI reviews plumbing drawings to identify issues that manual review might miss—from DFU calculations to condensate line sizing.
- DFU counts that exceed pipe capacity
- Drainage pipe sizing undersized for fixture load
- Vent pipe sizing inconsistencies
- Storm drain capacity calculations
- Cross-reference DFUs against code tables
- Condensate line sizing for multiple AHUs
- Condensate drain routing conflicts
- Missing condensate trap details
- HVAC equipment drainage coordination
- Condensate pump sizing verification
- Riser diagram inconsistencies between floors
- Missing riser connections
- Incorrect pipe sizes in risers
- Missing riser details
- Riser-to-plan coordination errors
- Fixture schedule mismatches with plan callouts
- Missing fixtures in schedule
- Incorrect fixture specifications
- Fixture location conflicts
- Fixture access requirement gaps
- Piping conflicts with structural elements
- Missing piping details
- Pipe size inconsistencies
- Piping routing conflicts
- Missing pipe supports and hangers
- UPC / IPC code violations
- Florida Building Code plumbing requirements
- Local plumbing code conflicts
- Missing code-required fixtures
- Accessibility plumbing requirements
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: Five AHUs connected to single 3/4" condensate line. Code and best practice recommend minimum 1" line for this capacity.
Impact: Prevented condensate backup and potential equipment damage. Would have caused flooding during peak cooling.
What AI Found: Waste line sized for 48 DFUs but fixture schedule totals 67 DFUs on connected branch.
Impact: Caught undersized drain before installation. Would have caused slow drainage and potential backups.
What AI Found: Third floor riser shows 4" waste stack but second floor shows 3" continuing down. Missing transition.
Impact: Prevented field confusion and potential code violation. RFI would have delayed rough-in.

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."
