A proven onboarding playbook for engineering firms, general contractors, owners, and developers. Centralized billing, Firm Memory tuning to your standards, admin training, and SSO, usable on day 1, fully operational in a month.
Most firms validate with a single paid project (Standard starts at $25) before committing to a rollout. Enterprise overview
Trusted by 600+ companies, with 200K+ potential issues across 1,800+ completed checks

Each phase has a concrete deliverable. By end of week 4, every active project at your firm has a check before it goes to permit or out for bid.
Day 1 win: a real report on a real project that you can share internally.
Calibration: by end of week 2, the checker reflects your firm's standards.
Operational: admins can onboard the rest of the firm without our involvement.
Live: every active project has a check before it goes to permit or out for bid.
Clear ownership so nothing falls through the cracks. Most of the lift is on us.
| Area | InspectMind provides | Your team provides |
|---|---|---|
| Kickoff and alignment | Hosts kickoff call, sets up org account, configures billing | Identifies pilot project, names org admin(s), provides team list |
| Pilot project | Runs initial check, walks through report, captures tuning feedback | Reviews report side-by-side with internal QA, flags edge cases |
| Firm Memory and code library | Loads standards, tunes checker, adds custom codes (typically 1-2 weeks) | Provides QA checklists, design standards, applicable code editions |
| Admin training | Live training session for org admins, written runbook | Designates admin(s), schedules training, communicates rollout to team |
| SSO / SCIM (optional) | Configures SAML or OIDC integration with your IdP | Provides IdP metadata, opens IT ticket if needed |
| Go-live | Weekly office hours for 30 days, dedicated support channel | Routes new projects through the checker, designates internal champion |
The most common internal objection is "will this replace our people?" The answer is no, and the framing below helps champions communicate that clearly.
Feel free to adapt this language for your all-hands, email, or training materials.
"We are not testing InspectMind because we want AI to replace anyone. We are testing it because we want to give our teams another quality-control layer that helps them catch issues earlier, reduce risk, and deliver cleaner projects to clients. Think of it as an extra reviewer that can scan across drawings, specs, codes, and disciplines, then flag possible issues for our team to evaluate. Our professionals remain in control. This is about helping our people do higher-quality work with less risk, not taking work away from them."
Checking at multiple milestones makes InspectMind feel like a partner in the process rather than a final judge. Issues caught early are cheapest to fix.
Catch major coordination and cross-discipline gaps early, when changes cost almost nothing.
Verify cross-discipline alignment, spec consistency, and code compliance before final production.
Confirm previous issues were addressed and no new ones introduced before permit or bid.
Many firms also add a check at bid set and after major addenda or ASIs.
Numbers from real customer projects across engineering, GC, and owner teams. Your mileage will vary by project type and discipline mix.
One caught RFI typically pays for the entire annual subscription. Average RFI: $1,500-$3,000. Average change order: $5,000-$25,000.
ENR Top design firms, regional civil/structural/MEP firms. Internal QA before client delivery. Company library for firm standards.
Reviews drawings across multiple bids. Standardize QA/QC across regional offices. Catch coordination issues before mobilization.
QC consultant deliverables across the portfolio. Integrate into design-review milestones (30%, 60%, 90%, IFC).
Independent verification of design consultant work quality across client portfolios.
Position InspectMind as a QA/QC support layer, not a replacement for your people. The tool flags potential issues with citations and evidence; your engineers, architects, and PMs decide what is valid, what has an exception, and what gets changed. Your professionals remain in control, InspectMind gives them better coverage and more confidence before documents go out. A message that resonates internally: 'We are not testing InspectMind because we want AI to replace anyone. We are testing it because we want to give our teams another QC layer that helps them catch issues earlier, reduce risk, and deliver cleaner projects to clients.'
Your team, always. InspectMind surfaces potential issues; your licensed professionals decide what to act on. The AI does not stamp drawings, override engineering judgment, or make binding decisions. Final authority stays with your engineers and discipline leads.
No. Most firms start with a single paid project (Standard starts at $25) to validate fit, then move to a monthly subscription with annual commit options. Corporate accounts can sign annual MSAs for procurement simplicity.
Typically 1-2 weeks once we have your standards documents and feedback on a pilot project. The first project is fully usable on day 1; tuning improves precision over the first month.
We load custom codes for enterprise customers as part of onboarding, typically a few business days. State-specific editions, model code overlays, and firm-internal standards are all supported.
Yes. Most firms run a 2-4 project pilot with one team first, validate the report quality and ROI, then expand to the rest of the firm. The 4-week playbook compresses to 2 weeks for pilots.
Standard SSO and SCIM are part of enterprise onboarding at no extra cost. Single-tenant deployments (dedicated AWS account, isolated database) are available for firms with strict isolation requirements.
Most firms start by running a single paid project to validate fit (Standard starts at $25), then move to the 4-week rollout. No long-term contract required to start.
