ScrubPlan Change Analysis Now Available!

We're thrilled to release our latest innovation in construction drawing automation: Change Analysis! This powerful new feature will allow your teams to effortlessly identify and track all changes in a trade's scope of work from drawing revisions, changes and addendums!

Throughout the estimating and construction phases of a project, design changes and drawing updates occur frequently, often leading to significant cost impacts and consuming considerable time for estimators and project managers. With Change Analysis, you can quickly sort through and monitor these changes, saving valuable time and ensuring accurate tracking.

Key Features and Benefits

Boost Productivity: Automatically identify scope of work changes from drawing revisions
Minimize Risk: Reduce the chance of missing a scope change in drawing revisions, changes, or addendums
Efficient Tracking: Maintain and track a "current set" of drawings within ScrubPlan

In the example below, we'll demonstrate how ScrubPlan's Change Analysis identifies and tracks modifications to the HVAC scope of work from a drawing addendum. In this case, the design team omitted revision clouds due to municipality permit submission guidelines, and their narrative failed to capture all the changes.

Sheet M2.3/M6.1 Permit Set

We have added arrows to the locations of the added notes on sheet M2.3 and M6.1. Without clouds, these notes were likely to go unseen. Now, lets examine how effortless it is for AI to identify and track these notes in the video below. The additional control valves, isolation valves, and shutoff valves on this project were valued at $8,000. With ScrubPlan, details like the above example can help your teams save thousands not only during estimating, but throughout the course of the entire project.

Introducing ScrubPlan AI-assisted Plan Review

We're excited to introduce ScrubPlan's newest feature: AI-assisted plan review!

The AI will automatically isolate pages relevant to the selected trades and highlight essential information, enabling you to quickly assess the scope across multiple trades in just minutes. Watch the demo video below!

In this 2-minute demo, we demonstrate in real-time how effortlessly you can review all the details related to the skin trades across 15+ pages.

In the following example, we'll explore how ScrubPlan's Change Analysis tracks changes in the millwork scope of work from a drawing addendum. In this addendum, the design team has marked changes with clouds, but the clouds encompass the entire detail instead of highlighting specific alterations, making the adjustments not immediately visible.

Sheet A403 Rev6

Instead of spending hours manually comparing each sheet, ScrubPlan will soon offer a detailed change analysis tab that highlights all adjustments from drawing revisions. For instance, in the example above, the design team changed the countertop support from plywood to steel brackets. ScrubPlan will identify this and other changes in seconds, allowing your team to review them quickly and efficiently.
