Automatic Construction Drawing Clash Detection

We help construction teams eliminate rework, delays, and drawing confusion before construction starts.
We analyze PDF plans, detect clashes and inconsistencies across disciplines, and create draft RFIs so teams can resolve issues early. This saves construction companies hundreds of hours and millions of dollars. What we do: - Automatically detect clashes, missing information, and drawing mismatches - Align architectural, structural, and MEP plans so everything matches across sheets - Generate draft RFIs from issues we find - Replace long page-turn meetings with instant drawing analysis - Reduce rework and prevent schedule delays before boots hit the ground We integrate with:
Procore, Autodesk, email, and the tools teams already use Teams use us to: - Save hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per project - Catch design and coordination issues early - Reduce RFIs and prevent field fixes - Keep projects on schedule with fewer surprises Contact us at founders@helonic.com

Helonic: Automatic Construction Drawing Issue Detection
See original launch post

TL;DR: Helonic is the AI platform that helps construction companies, architects, and civil engineers catch design errors and avoid costly rework before construction begins. We automatically detect clashes and discrepancies, and generate RFIs and save construction companies hundreds of hours and millions of dollars.

❌ The Problem:

  • Drawings and specs are often incomplete or inconsistent, leading to design clashes and costing companies hundreds of millions of dollars
  • Mechanical, structural, and architectural plans don’t align, forcing long coordination cycles and rework
  • Incorrect blueprints and outdated revisions cause crews to build from the wrong designs, especially in fast-paced solar installations

✅ The Solution:

Helonic automatically finds issues in construction drawings.

  • Detect design discrepancies automatically: AI identifies clashes across MEP, structural, architectural, and solar layouts before they reach the field.
  • Instantly generate RFIs: Proactive document and drawing auditing allows project managers and installers to stay focused on building.
  • Integrated and proactive: Helonic connects with Procore, Revit, Autodesk, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, SharePoint, Bluebeam, and more

🦺 Our Ask:

  • If you know any project managers or superintendents at general contractors, we’d love an introduction.
  • If you know directors or executives at construction or solar firms who are improving design coordination or workflows, we’d love to connect with them.
