Scale QA/QC across every team and every milestone

Helonic is an AI construction drawing analysis platform for design managers who review 2D PDF drawing sets.

Automate QA/QC across design teams, enforce drawing standards, and catch coordination errors before documents leave your office.

What slows down design managers?

Design managers cannot keep QA/QC consistent when every office and milestone depends on whichever senior reviewer is free.

QA/QC Across Teams

Multiple designers and engineers produce drawings with varying quality levels, and manual QA/QC reviews are inconsistent and time-consuming.

Maintaining Standards

Firm-wide drawing standards, CAD protocols, and documentation requirements are difficult to enforce consistently across projects and offices.

Catching Errors Pre-Issuance

Design errors found after document issuance cause change orders, delays, and liability, but thorough pre-issuance review is hard to scale.

How does Helonic help?

Helonic runs the same drawing checks on every milestone so QA/QC does not depend on one senior reviewer staying late.

Internal QA/QC Automation

Run automated quality checks on every drawing set before issuance to catch coordination errors, missing information, and code compliance gaps that manual review misses under deadline pressure.

Cross-Discipline Coordination Review

Automatically verify that architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings are coordinated, catching conflicts between disciplines before they become field problems.

Drawing Standard Enforcement

Check drawing sets against your firm's documentation standards to identify formatting inconsistencies, missing details, incomplete schedules, and non-standard notations.

Issue Tracking Across Milestones

Track issues identified at SD, DD, and CD milestones to verify that previously flagged problems are resolved in subsequent submissions and do not persist through to construction.

Design Team Performance Metrics

Generate objective quality metrics across projects and teams to identify patterns, training needs, and opportunities to improve design processes and reduce errors.

What issues does Helonic catch?

Helonic surfaces repeated coordination misses, note conflicts, and incomplete details that slip between SD, DD, and CD.

Quality & Standards

Inconsistencies between architectural and engineering disciplines
Drawing standard violations across team members
Incomplete schedules, legends, and general notes
Detail references pointing to missing or wrong sheets

Coordination & Completeness

Missing coordination between structural and MEP systems
Incomplete document sets at milestone submissions
Code compliance items unresolved from prior reviews
Specification sections not matching drawing details

What return do design managers see with Helonic?

Design managers get a repeatable QA pass on every issue set, which shortens late-night reviews and reduces bounced CDs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Helonic support internal design QA/QC?

It automates a coordination and consistency pass across the set at each milestone, flagging cross-discipline conflicts, missing information, and standard deviations with sheet references, so QA/QC is systematic rather than dependent on who has time to review.

Can it enforce drawing standards across a team?

It flags inconsistencies and coordination gaps uniformly across every set, giving design managers an objective, repeatable check that applies the same rigor to each project and discipline.

Does it track issues across milestones?

Yes. Detected issues can be assigned and tracked across disciplines and milestones so nothing is lost between SD, DD, and CD.

Does it need a model or just the PDFs?

It works on the 2D PDFs your team produces at each milestone; no model is required.

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.
