AI Project Requirements and Design Criteria Review

Project requirements live across RFPs, owner criteria, design narratives, standards, and discipline checklists. Nomic helps AEC teams review drawing packages against those requirements so reviewers can see what is satisfied, missing, or unclear before the package goes out.

Turn project requirements into a reviewable checklist

A project requirements matrix is only useful if it can be checked against the actual drawings and specifications. Nomic reads owner criteria, RFP requirements, design-basis documents, and QA/QC checklists, then organizes them into a cited review workflow.

  • Extract review criteria from RFPs, owner standards, design narratives, and checklists
  • Map each requirement to relevant sheets, specs, disciplines, and deliverables
  • Create structured outputs that reviewers can validate line by line
Verify that drawings reflect the governing design criteria
02 / Design criteria checks

Verify that drawings reflect the governing design criteria

Design criteria often shift from early narratives into drawings, schedules, notes, and details. Nomic checks whether those criteria are represented in the drawing package and flags omissions or conflicts that need human review.

  • Check milestone drawing sets against project-specific design criteria
  • Surface missing required notes, dimensions, schedules, or discipline deliverables
  • Compare requirements across drawings, specs, and supporting documents

03 / QA/QC evidence

Produce cited findings instead of vague checklist comments

Manual checklist review is difficult to audit when comments are not tied back to source evidence. Nomic returns findings with drawing locations and requirement citations so project teams can verify issues, close them out, and document the review trail.

  • Tie every finding to the source requirement and drawing location
  • Export review tables for QA/QC logs, owner responses, and markup workflows
  • Support human sign-off with clear evidence instead of black-box answers
Outcomes

What teams get from this workflow

More complete deliverable reviews

Check more project requirements across every sheet and discipline before package submission.

Less manual matrix tracking

Reduce the time engineers spend copying checklist rows, hunting for evidence, and manually updating requirements matrices.

Clearer owner and QA/QC responses

Document which requirements are satisfied, which are missing, and where each reviewer can verify the source evidence.

Questions about this automated drawing review workflow

Answers to common questions about this workflow.

Can AI check drawings against project requirements?

Yes. Nomic can review drawing packages against project-specific requirements from RFPs, owner criteria, design narratives, specifications, and QA/QC checklists, then return cited findings for reviewer verification.

What is a design requirements compliance matrix?

A design requirements compliance matrix tracks project requirements, verification evidence, and compliance status in one structured table. Nomic helps populate and check that matrix by connecting each requirement to the drawings and documents that demonstrate compliance.

Does Nomic replace the QA/QC reviewer?

No. Nomic performs a first-pass requirements and checklist review. Architects, engineers, and QA/QC leads still decide which findings are valid, how issues should be resolved, and when the package is ready for submission.
