AI plan check for retail store development

Scale QA/QC across 200-300 stores per year. Catch spec-drawing conflicts, code violations, and coordination errors before construction. Fast turnaround, volume pricing, team collaboration.

The retail store development challenge

Building 200-300 stores per year means you need QA/QC that scales. Manual review isn’t feasible, you’d need to hire multiple full-time reviewers. Spec-drawing conflicts, code violations, and coordination errors cause change orders, RFIs, and delays on every project.

Scale challenge

  • 200-300 stores per year = impossible manual review
  • Tight schedules need fast turnaround
  • Change orders eat into margins
  • Need consistent quality across all locations

Common issues

  • Spec-drawing conflicts (200+ per project)
  • Code compliance violations
  • MEP coordination conflicts
  • Egress and fire protection issues

“We're running at a pace of 200 stores a year. We're gonna get up to 300 stores in the next couple of years. If I'm going to hire three people that literally all they do is review drawings, or if I'm going to pay an architect to mark up every single drawings, I got to find another way to do this. If we've got an easy way that we can have our designers push a set of plans through a product like this, in a couple hours I get back every single comment I could ever imagine getting and then we can work that stuff before we've actually got to spend hours doing that or a plan reviewer catch it.”
