Engineering Design Conformance Review

Every design spec
checked.
Every design miss,
caught.

VeriSpec is an automated design review software for engineering consultants and data-center owners. It reads the owner's design intent (also known as basis of design), reads the design engineer's drawings package, and checks one against the other — flagging every missed requirement and confirming compliance where it passes. This prevents costly RFIs and Change Orders, saving you time and money. What normally takes an engineer 12 hours to review a package, VeriSpec does in minutes.

01 — For engineers and owners, at every stage of design

Fewer RFIs. Fewer Change Orders.

Add automated design reviews to your workflow and further reduce costly RFIs and Change Orders during construction. Between the owner's design intent and the design engineer's package, every requirement gets checked — line by line, discipline by discipline, all disciplines in parallel. Engineers use it before submission to catch gaps in their own package. Owners use it to verify the design meets their intent.

For design engineers

Check your own package before it leaves the office.

Run the discipline set against the owner's design intent before submission. Every missed size, rating, or acceptance criterion surfaces with a citation to the page — so the gap is closed by your team, not raised as an RFI by the contractor.

  • Pre-submission self-review, per discipline
  • Findings cited to clause and sheet
  • Ambiguity flagged before it becomes a Change Order
For owners

Verify the design meets your intent — at every milestone.

Your reviewing engineers get every requirement of the design intent checked against the submitted package, with pass and miss evidence side by side. Milestone reviews go from days of cross-referencing to a verified report your team acts on.

  • Milestone review of every submission (30 / 60 / 90 / IFC)
  • Verified evidence, never a guess
  • Same graph powers day-2 operating procedures
12h→min

Per discipline, per project

What takes an engineer a working day of cross-referencing a single discipline against the design intent, VeriSpec completes in minutes — with every finding cited to the page.

↓RFI

Ambiguity caught at design time

A missed size, rating, or acceptance criterion found before issue never becomes a construction-time RFI or a Change Order priced at the contractor's markup.

Delivered on time, safe and available

Cleaner packages mean fewer construction surprises — projects delivered on schedule, and site safety and availability maintained.

02 — How it works

Design intent + drawings in, conformance report out.

  1. 01

    Ingest the spec & the set

    The design engineer — or the owner's reviewing engineer — uploads the design intent and the drawing package. VeriSpec parses both into structured, addressable requirements and details.

    design_intent.pdf · drawings.dwg/pdf → parsed
  2. 02

    Cross-reference each discipline

    For every requirement, VeriSpec locates the corresponding evidence in the drawings and decides: satisfied, missing, or needs review — with a citation back to the source.

    requirement ⇄ drawing evidence
  3. 03

    Return an auditable report

    You get a conformance report: green ticks for what's met, flags for what's missed, each linked to spec clause and drawing location so your engineers verify in minutes, not days.

    report.json · findings + citations

Today VeriSpec checks the drawings package against the design intent. Checking the project specifications against the design intent is on the roadmap.

03 — Why VeriSpec

Why VeriSpec?

A frontier model can read a drawing. It can't prove what it says, it doesn't know what a reviewing engineer would call a defect, and it doesn't get better after your review. VeriSpec is the three layers that sit between the model and a report you can sign.

Specialized context layer

Domain judgment that isn't in the model

Frontier models can understand engineering, but they don't know how your engineers review. VeriSpec captures the rulings of practicing engineers — what constitutes a defect, when requirements genuinely conflict, how ambiguous clauses are interpreted, and which owner standards apply to each package — and turns them into reusable review context. Much of that knowledge lives in private project history and experienced reviewers' judgment, not in public training data.

engineer rulings → versioned doctrine → every review
Evidence harness

Every finding traced back to the drawing

A general model answers fluently whether or not the drawing supports it. VeriSpec publishes a PASS or FAIL only when the supporting quote is found, verbatim, in the drawing's own text at the sheet it cites — expressed in the language of the discipline. What can't be sourced isn't published as decisive: the report says not evidenced instead of guessing.

quote ⇄ sheet · verified, or downgraded
Learning loop

Sharper with every package your engineers review

Each finding is confirmed or rejected by an engineer, with a reason, and each ruling feeds back into the context layer. The reviews your team does today make the next package's review better — a loop a general model, reset every session, can't close.

confirm / reject → doctrine → next run

The model underneath is replaceable — VeriSpec runs on several and benchmarks each against engineer rulings. The context, the standard of proof, and the rulings are what you're buying.

04 — Coverage

Every discipline, reviewed in parallel.

Each discipline that used to be a separate engineer-day is reviewed simultaneously.

Electrical

Redundancy, UPS & generator sizing, coordination, grounding, arc-flash.

Mechanical & Cooling

CRAC/CRAH capacity, redundancy, airflow containment, chilled water.

Structural

Floor loading, seismic, raised-floor & equipment support criteria.

Fire & Life Safety

Detection, suppression, egress, compartmentation per code.

Power Distribution

PDU/RPP layout, busway, capacity headroom, metering.

Telecom & Pathways

Cable routing, tray fill, separation, MMR/MDA provisioning.

05 — The output

A report your engineers can trust and act on.

Every finding carries its verified quote and its location on the drawing. See what a finished review looks like.

SATISFIEDM-2.03

CRAH units provide N+1 redundancy at design day load.

Spec §4.2.1 · Drawing M-201, schedule note 3 · 6×(N=5)+1 confirmed

MISSINGFLS-3.10

Pre-action sprinkler interlock with VESDA detection not shown.

Spec §7.4 requires double-interlock · No corresponding detail located in fire set

REVIEWM-2.14

Chilled water ΔT stated as 10°F; spec targets 12°F.

Spec §4.3.2 · Drawing M-410 note 1 · Confirm impact on pump & pipe sizing

Every finding cites the spec clause and the drawing location — so review becomes verification.

06 — Operations · For owners

From a verified drawing to automated MOP generation.

Once your design is locked, VeriSpec uses the same building graph to generate step-by-step operating procedures for your equipment — written with your building's own equipment labels, with every dependency accounted for.

Ask "how do I safely isolate ATS-A?" and VeriSpec reads the facility graph to answer it — not from a generic template, but from this building's topology.

  • 01
    Reads the dependency graph. It knows ATS-A feeds UPS-A → PDU-A → the IT load, and that isolating it drops UPS-A onto battery — so the load must be confirmed safe and available first.
  • 02
    Uses the building's own labels. Equipment is named exactly as the drawing tags it — building XYZ10XYZ10-UPS-A — so steps match what the operator sees in the field.
  • 03
    Adapts per building. Procedures stay consistent by equipment type, but conform to each site's graph — missing equipment, extra redundancy, and switching order are all reflected.
  • 04
    Ordered by the drawing. Steps follow the real source-to-load sequence, with pre-checks, cautions, and lockout / verify built in.
07 — Data residency

Your drawings stay under your control.

Design intent documents and engineering drawings are some of the most sensitive IP a firm holds. VeriSpec is hosted by default, and for firms that need it, VeriSpec can be deployed inside your own environment.

  • Private deployment available. Run VeriSpec in your own cloud account (a private VPC) or on-premises, so documents are processed where they live.
  • You hold the keys. In a private deployment, run against your own model endpoints and storage, with full audit logs of every access.
