How does Helonic write RFIs into Procore?

Helonic is an AI construction drawing analysis platform for teams asking how Helonic writes RFIs into Procore.

Helonic pulls drawings from Procore, flags issues with sheet coordinates, and lets a reviewer push accepted findings into Procore as RFIs with the description and drawing references already attached. Helonic does not create the ticket until someone accepts the finding. Folders, assignees, and close-out stay in Procore.

What are the steps from Procore drawings to a Procore RFI?

Four steps. Connect, pull, triage, push. The review in the middle is how Helonic reviews drawings. This page is only the Procore hop.

1. Connect the Procore company

Authorize Helonic to the Procore company and project that already holds the drawings.

2. Pull the drawing set

Pick the Procore drawings folder or set. Manual PDF upload stays available if the project is not connected yet.

3. Review findings

Accept, reject, or edit each mark. Nothing is created in Procore until that step.

4. Push the ticket

One click sends the accepted finding to Procore as an RFI, observation, or punch item with sheet references attached.

What lands on the Procore RFI?

The pushed item carries the finding description, drawing references, and suggested routing. The recipient should not have to hunt a 400-page set for the box Helonic already marked.

Helonic can send the same finding as an RFI, an observation, or a punch item. Pick the type that matches how the team tracks that class of issue. RFI generation and Procore integration are the product pages. This article does not replace them.

Does Helonic replace Procore?

Helonic reviews drawings. Procore remains the system of record. Helonic vs Procore is the comparison. From PDF to RFI is the longer workflow essay.

Teams that also live in Autodesk Construction Cloud use the same accept-then-push pattern there. The Procore path is the one this page owns. How to write an RFI is still the standard for the words on the ticket.

Practitioner insight

“The win is not that the RFI exists. It is that the sheet and the box are already on the ticket, so I am not pasting screenshots into Procore at 6 p.m.”

Conversations with project engineers who already run RFIs in Procore and added Helonic as the upstream review.

Helonic Procore RFI Workflow FAQs

How does Helonic write RFIs into Procore?

Helonic pulls drawings from Procore, flags issues with sheet coordinates, and lets a reviewer push accepted findings into Procore as RFIs with the description and drawing references already attached.

Does Helonic create Procore RFIs automatically?

Helonic does not create Procore RFIs until a reviewer accepts the finding. The one-click push happens after triage, so rejected marks never become tickets.

What lands on the Procore RFI from Helonic?

Each pushed RFI carries the finding description, drawing references, and suggested routing so the recipient is not hunting for the conflict on a 400-page set.

Can Helonic also push observations or punch items?

Helonic can push a detected issue to Procore as an RFI, an observation, or a punch item, depending on how the team wants the item tracked. Confirm the type on the finding before you click.

Do we have to leave Procore to run Helonic?

Teams stay in Procore for the project record. Helonic is the review step that reads the set and writes the ticket back; folders, assignees, and close-out stay in Procore.

Manas is the co-founder and CTO of Helonic, where he leads engineering and AI research for construction drawing analysis. He works directly with structural, MEP, civil, and fire protection engineers to translate the way they review drawings into AI systems that flag the issues that actually matter in the field. Before Helonic, he built machine learning pipelines for technical document understanding and has spent the last several years interviewing licensed design engineers and discipline leads to ground product decisions in real practice rather than industry assumptions.
