An environment to support computer-assisted design review

In recent years productivity of the U.S. construction industry has lagged behind other sectors of the economy, resulting in higher costs of goods and services for all consumers. Construction productivity can be enhanced by the increased use of automation in the facility delivery process. The review of design drawings is one manual operation that could benefit from increased automation. Design reviews are currently performed by human experts who evaluate a set of construction documents for adequacy and accuracy. Errors or omissions in the construction documents that are not detected by the human reviewers can result in increased construction time and costs and decreased construction productivity.
