Your Plans Have Issues.
You Just Don't Know Where Yet.
The average commercial project generates 796 RFIs. Exoplans analyzes your drawings and specs to find coordination conflicts, scope gaps, and inconsistencies—before they surface on-site.

Coordination is Broken
When gaps slip through into construction, architects get the blame—even when the problem started in coordination. The industry has normalized a process that doesn't work.
RFIs Per Project
The industry average across 1,362 projects studied. Each one represents a coordination failure that could have been caught earlier.
RFI Cost Impact
Total RFI-related costs per project including delays, rework, and administrative overhead. Money that comes out of someone's margin.
Days to Respond
Average RFI response time. Meanwhile, crews sit idle or proceed without answers—compounding the problem.
Never Answered
Nearly 25% of RFIs receive no response at all. Issues get 'figured out in the field'—usually not the way you intended.

This Is the Reality
Real voices from project managers, contractors, and architects dealing with coordination failures every day.
“Incomplete plans are killing schedule, budgets and quality. The change orders are getting out of hand because of all of it.”
“Design teams leave gaps. Subcontractors review, coordinate, design, then RFI for approval. We're subsidizing design fees with our time.”
“Firms big and small do not coordinate drawings anymore. It's really frustrating to get a set of plans and need to stop the whole process.”
The RFI Dumptruck Is Coming
For years, contractors have been doing design teams' coordination work—reviewing plans, finding gaps, filing RFIs for problems that should have been caught before documents shipped.
They're tired of subsidizing design fees with their time.
Now they're arming themselves. AI-powered plan analysis is being adopted across construction. Every coordination gap will be found. Every incomplete detail will be documented. Every conflict will become an RFI.
The question isn't whether these issues will be found.
It's whether you find them first.

Find Issues Before They Find You
Exoplans cross-references your drawings, specs, and schedules to surface coordination gaps—the kind that become expensive field problems.
Missing fire-rated wall assembly at corridor transition
A-101 shows 1-hour rated corridor at gridline C, but partition schedule (A-501) omits rating for wall type P-3 at this location. Mechanical drawings show ductwork penetrating this wall without fire damper callouts. Per IBC 2021 714.4, dampers required.
1. Update partition schedule to specify 1-hour rating for P-3 at corridor
2. Coordinate with MEP to add fire damper details at penetrations
3. Verify door schedule for compliant fire-rated hardware

Sheets analyzed in minutes
Discipline coordination
Catch It Before Construction
AI that reads drawings like an experienced reviewer—finding what humans miss across hundreds of sheets.
Cross-Discipline Coordination
Automatically compare architectural, structural, and MEP drawings to surface conflicts. No more hoping someone catches the duct-beam collision.
Issue Documentation
Each issue comes with sheet references, code citations, and suggested resolutions—ready for team review or consultant coordination.
Spec-to-Drawing Validation
Cross-reference specifications against drawing callouts. Catch mismatched materials, missing schedules, and incomplete details.
Protect Your Reputation
Every issue caught before bid is a change order avoided, a schedule delay prevented, and blame deflected. Exoplans helps you deliver cleaner documents and fewer field surprises.
