Automatically verify your cover sheet index against every drawing in the set. Catch missing sheets, unlisted drawings, and numbering discrepancies before they cause problems in the field.
Every construction drawing set starts with a cover sheet that lists every drawing in the set: the drawing index. It tells the GC, subs, and permitting which sheets are included, how they're organized, and what disciplines are covered.
A drawing index audit cross-references that cover sheet index against the actual drawings in the PDF. It flags:
An incomplete or inaccurate drawing index is one of the most common, and most preventable, sources of confusion on a construction project. When the index doesn't match the actual set:
If a drawing is in the set but not on the index, estimators may skip it entirely. That means scope gaps, budget surprises, and change orders after the contract is signed.
Missing sheets mean missing information. A structural detail sheet that's listed but not included can halt work until the design team issues a revision.
Every index discrepancy can trigger an RFI. Multiple RFIs early in construction slow down submittals, procurement, and scheduling.
Plan reviewers at AHJs check the index against the set. A mismatch can delay permit approval or trigger a resubmission.
Upload your drawing set and InspectMind will automatically extract the cover sheet index and cross-reference it against every page in the PDF. The result is a clear report showing exactly what's missing, what's extra, and what doesn't match.
Upload the full PDF drawing set, including the cover sheet with the drawing index. No special formatting needed.
InspectMind identifies the cover sheet index, extracts sheet numbers and titles, then reads the title block on every drawing in the set.
The system compares the index against the actual set and flags missing sheets, unlisted drawings, numbering errors, and title mismatches.
Get a clear, shareable report with every discrepancy listed, page references included. Send it to the design team or use it for your own records.
Run an index audit when you receive a new drawing set for bidding or preconstruction. Catch missing sheets before they become change orders.
Verify that every drawing referenced in the index is actually in the set before you start your takeoff. Avoid pricing from an incomplete plan set.
QA/QC your own sets before issuing them. An index audit catches the small oversights, like a sheet that was added mid-design but never added to the index.
Manual index checks on a 250-sheet set can take hours. InspectMind returns a structured same-day check with evidence for each finding.
Every sheet number and title is checked systematically. No skimming, no fatigue, no assumptions.
Know exactly what's in the set, and what's missing, before you commit to a price. Flag issues to the owner or architect before they become your problem.
Send the index audit report to the design team, owner, or permitting: a clear record of what was checked and what needs to be fixed.
Example: Sheet S-301 (Structural Details) is listed on the cover sheet but the PDF jumps from S-300 to S-302.
Example: An addendum added sheet M-105 (Mechanical Roof Plan) but the cover sheet index was never updated.
Example: The index lists E-201 but the actual sheet title block says E-201A: a revision was issued without updating the index.
Example: Two different sheets both numbered A-401. One is the reflected ceiling plan, the other is interior elevations.
Example: Index says 'First Floor Plan' but the title block on the sheet reads '1st Floor Demolition Plan': wrong sheet or wrong title.
