About Bedrock

Summary: Bedrock is an AI-powered platform that automates construction drawing comparison and change detection. We help general contractors find scope changes in drawing revisions before they become costly disputes.

What Bedrock Does

Bedrock processes construction drawing sets and automatically identifies what changed between revisions. Instead of manually comparing sheets side-by-side, teams upload two drawing sets and receive detailed change analysis within minutes.

Core Capabilities

CapabilityDescription
Sheet MatchingAI automatically matches corresponding sheets between drawing revisions, even when sheet numbers change
Auto AlignmentDrawings are aligned automatically without manual point selection
Change DetectionAI identifies additions, deletions, and modifications across all drawing types
Change CategorizationChanges are labeled by type (structural, architectural, MEP, etc.)
Cost ImpactEstimated labor and material impact for detected changes
PDF ExportResults export as standard overlays compatible with any workflow

Who Uses Bedrock

Project Engineers

Save 10+ hours per week on change order tasks. Bedrock automates the tedious work of comparing drawings and identifying scope changes.

Project Managers

Never fall behind schedule due to rework. Get instant visibility into drawing changes that affect your project timeline.

VP of Operations

Stop losing margin to missed changes. Bedrock helps construction teams capture every scope change before it becomes a costly dispute.

The Problem We Solve

According to Autodesk/FMI research, 52% of construction rework stems from poor project data and miscommunication. Drawing changes that go undetected contribute directly to this $65 billion annual industry problem.

Manual drawing comparison is:

  • Time-consuming: 2-3 hours for a 500-sheet comparison
  • Error-prone: Human reviewers miss subtle but costly changes
  • Inconsistent: Results vary by reviewer attention and fatigue
  • Unscalable: Can’t keep up with rapid revision cycles

Bedrock automates this process to catch more changes, faster.

FAQ

What industries does Bedrock serve?

Bedrock serves commercial construction, specifically general contractors working on projects with complex drawing packages. We support all major disciplines: architectural, structural, MEP, and civil.

How is Bedrock different from PDF markup tools?

PDF markup tools like Bluebeam are designed for annotation and collaboration. Bedrock is purpose-built for automated comparison. We don’t do markup. We find what changed.

Is Bedrock secure?

Yes. Drawings are encrypted in transit and at rest. We’re SOC 2 compliant and don’t share drawing data with third parties.
