The RedMark Platform

Every sheet. No matter how tight the deadline.

When the programme tightens, QA is the first thing to get cut short. RedMark reads the whole set either way — mechanical, electrical and P&ID, plans through to submittals — and returns a ranked list of coordination errors, missing keynotes, electrical inconsistencies and annotation issues, marked directly on the drawings.

Comparing the mechanical schedule against the panel schedule — RTU-1 reads MOCP 150 on the panel schedule and 100 on the mechanical schedule. View full size
How it works

Three steps. End-to-end.

01

Upload

PDFs, multi-sheet sets, schedules, legends, technical submittals. No CAD or BIM plugin required.

Inputs: PDF · DWG-exported PDF · schedule sheets · submittal packages

02

Scan

Custom OCR pipeline. Domain-trained CV on tens of thousands of M&E drawings. Reasoning layer with engineering rules.

Cross-checks: plan ↔ schedule · schedule ↔ submittal · mech ↔ elec

03

Redmark

Provides an issues list and marked-up drawings. The issues list exports to Excel, and the drawings come back as PDFs with the markups on them.

Exports: issues list (Excel) · marked-up drawings (PDF)

Explainability

Every flag shows its work.

Senior engineers don't sign drawings on the strength of a black-box AI decision. So RedMark doesn't ask them to.

Coordination views, not verdicts

For every check, RedMark builds a side-by-side view of the two sources it compared — the mechanical schedule against the panel schedule, the plan against the equipment list. You see what it saw.

Red for issues, green for verified

Detected issues are highlighted in red. Equipment RedMark identified and matched successfully is highlighted in green. One glance tells you what needs your judgment and what has already cleared.

Verifiable against the rule

Deterministic logic does the reasoning, so every result traces back to a stated engineering rule. Your reviewer can confirm or overrule any flag in seconds — no trust required.

The comparison at the top of this page is exactly that view — RTU-1 matched on both schedules, MOCP flagged at 150 against 100.

QA check library

30+ automated checks.

A sample of the library below. Filter by discipline to see what RedMark catches on your sheets.

Coordination · Mechanical

Equipment schedule coordination

Every VAV, RTU, AHU, FPB and exhaust fan on the plan must appear in the equipment schedule — and every scheduled unit must appear on a plan.

Coordination · Mechanical

VAV airflow verification

Surfaces scheduled VAV airflow directly on the HVAC plan so connected airflow can be checked against the box’s rated capacity.

Coordination · Mechanical

VAV heater sizing

Confirms VAVs with electric or hot-water reheat carry the correct heater capacity — and that it is consistent across plans and schedules.

Coordination · Mechanical Coming soon

Schedule vs. submittal

Cross-validates equipment schedules against contractor submittals and technical data sheets, line by line.

Text · Mechanical

Keyed note check

Flags keyed notes on the plan that are missing from the list — and notes on the list that appear nowhere on the drawing.

Coordination · Electrical

Mechanical–electrical coordination

Catches panel schedule voltages and breaker sizes that don’t match the mechanical equipment they serve.

Coordination · Electrical

Equipment power coordination

Every piece of mechanical equipment that needs power must appear on the electrical power plan. Misses here surface in the field as RFIs.

Validation · Electrical

Panel overload

Verifies that calculated amperage demand on each panel stays below the panel’s rating.

Model availability · Electrical

Light fixture availability

Checks whether the manufacturer and model specified in the lighting schedule is still available to order.

Model availability · Plumbing

Plumbing fixture availability

Checks whether the manufacturer and model specified in the plumbing schedule is still available to order.

P&ID · Tagging

Instrument tag coverage

Every instrument tag on the P&ID must have a complete, matching entry in the instrument list.

P&ID · Validation

Valve tag & schedule check

Cross-references valve tags on the P&ID against the valve schedule and flags anything missing or extra.

Text & annotation · All sheets

Text over linework

Finds black text sitting on black linework — legible on your monitor, unreadable on a printed set in the field.

Text & annotation · All sheets

Placeholder text

Flags two or more consecutive periods — the tell-tale sign of a callout nobody came back to finish.

Text & annotation · All sheets

Industry-aware spell check

Catches spelling errors while ignoring the abbreviations engineers actually use — VAV, RTU, AHU, FPB.

Architectural Coming soon

Door hardware coordination

Matches hardware sets in the door schedule against the sets called out in the specification — flagging sets referenced but never specified, or specified but never used.

Outcomes

Drawing errors caught in the office cost nothing. In the field, they cost your margin.

Field exposure
Fewer RFIs. Fewer change orders.
Errors caught before submittal never become field questions, rework, or claims against your fee.
Senior capacity
More billable senior hours
Senior engineers QA sheets faster instead of hunting through cross-references — so their time goes on higher-level engineering.
Margin
Your fee, protected
Protect your fee from the errors that eat it. Every issue that never reaches the field is margin you keep.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Do we need to be AI experts to use RedMark?

No. Upload your drawings, get your report. No model to train, no integration to build, no IT lift. Most teams run their first project in under an hour.

How does pricing work?

Two parts — an annual base subscription for the firm, plus seats from $2,000 per engineer per year. A seat is any engineer running QA, and it doesn't have to be a dedicated QA role, so the cost tracks how many people actually use it. The base subscription and the seat rate are both confirmed at proposal. Enterprise terms are available for global or large multi-office firms.

Do we need any other software to use RedMark?

No. RedMark is fully standalone — we accept your existing PDFs, schedules, and legends. Nothing to install, no CAD or BIM plugin, no change to how your engineers already work.

Is our drawing data safe? Will it be used to train AI models?

Yes. Encrypted at rest with AES-256, in transit with TLS 1.3. Only minimal, context-free metadata is sent to an LLM; your drawings, title blocks, company names and project details are never transmitted. Enterprise customers get contractual no-training guarantees. See our security model.

Can we request a new QA check?

Yes. Submit through the platform or email your customer success contact and we'll come back with a target date.
