The core difference: what each tool checks

Firmus AI analyses 2D PDF drawings for preconstruction risk, missing information, scope gaps, cross-discipline inconsistencies, and drawing-set changes through products like AI-REVIEW and AI-MATCH. InspectMind reviews the full construction document package for QA issues that affect permit submission and field work: coordination conflicts, spec vs drawing mismatches, code documentation gaps, and missing details across disciplines.

The result: Firmus helps teams assess preconstruction risk in drawing sets. InspectMind helps construction teams catch documentation and coordination problems before they become permit comments, RFIs, or rework.
