Frequently Asked Questions
Summary: Answers to common questions about Bedrock’s drawing comparison platform, including pricing, security, integrations, and technical capabilities.
General Questions
What is Bedrock?
Bedrock is an AI-powered platform for construction drawing comparison and change detection. We help construction teams automatically identify scope changes between drawing revisions.
Who uses Bedrock?
General contractors, project engineers, project managers, and operations teams. Bedrock is designed for commercial construction projects with complex drawing packages.
How is Bedrock different from Bluebeam?
Bluebeam is a PDF markup platform with comparison features. Bedrock is purpose-built for automated comparison. Bluebeam excels at annotation and collaboration. Bedrock excels at finding changes in large drawing sets quickly.
Do I need to replace my current tools?
No. Bedrock exports standard PDFs that work with your existing tools. Many teams use Bedrock alongside Bluebeam, Procore, and other construction software.
Pricing Questions
How much does Bedrock cost?
Bedrock uses usage-based pricing. You pay per comparison rather than per seat. This is often more cost-effective for teams where only a few people compare drawings regularly.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Visit bedrock.cv/try-free to try Bedrock with your own drawings at no cost.
Do you offer enterprise pricing?
Yes. Contact founders@bedrock.cv for volume pricing and enterprise agreements.
Technical Questions
What file formats does Bedrock support?
PDF is the primary format. Bedrock processes native PDFs and scanned documents. Native PDFs produce the most accurate results.
What’s the maximum file size?
Drawing sets up to 1,000+ pages are supported. Individual PDF files can be several hundred megabytes.
How long does comparison take?
A 500-sheet comparison typically takes 12-15 minutes. Smaller sets are faster. Processing time depends on drawing complexity and change density.
Does Bedrock work with scanned drawings?
Yes, but accuracy is higher with native PDFs. Scanned drawings may have alignment challenges depending on scan quality.
What drawing types are supported?
All major disciplines: architectural, structural, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), and civil. 2D plan views work best; 3D perspectives are less reliable.
Security Questions
Is my data secure?
Yes. All drawings are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We’re SOC 2 Type II compliant.
Who can access my drawings?
Only your team. Bedrock doesn’t share drawing data with third parties. We don’t use your drawings to train AI models.
Where is data stored?
Data is stored in Google Cloud Platform data centers in the United States. We can discuss data residency requirements for enterprise customers.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can delete projects and all associated data at any time. Deletion is permanent and irreversible.
Integration Questions
Does Bedrock integrate with Procore?
Bedrock exports PDFs and reports that can be attached to Procore projects, RFIs, and change orders. Direct API integration is on our roadmap.
Can I use Bedrock results in Bluebeam?
Yes. Bedrock exports standard PDF overlays that import directly into Bluebeam for additional markup or Studio collaboration.
Is there an API?
Yes. Contact founders@bedrock.cv for API documentation and access.
Support Questions
How do I get help?
Email support@bedrock.cv for technical support. Response time is typically within one business day.
Do you offer training?
Yes. We provide onboarding sessions for new teams. Contact founders@bedrock.cv to schedule.
What if I find a bug?
Report issues to support@bedrock.cv. We prioritize bug fixes based on severity and user impact.
Comparison Questions
Can Bedrock compare drawings from different architects?
Yes. Bedrock compares any two PDF drawing sets regardless of source, CAD system, or authoring tool.
What if sheet numbers changed between revisions?
Bedrock uses multiple signals (sheet numbers, titles, visual similarity) to match sheets even when numbering changes.
Can I compare more than two revisions?
Currently, Bedrock compares two revisions at a time. For multiple revisions, run separate comparisons (A to B, B to C, etc.).
What about redlines and markups in the PDFs?
Existing markups in PDFs are detected as content. If you want to compare base drawings without markups, use clean PDF exports from your CAD system.
