AI agent for civil engineers
Design Review QA/QC Comment Tracking Agent
Every review comment resolved and confirmed before drawings are issued
What it does
Before drawings are issued, senior engineers review them and leave many comments that are easy to lose between sets. This agent extracts comments from markups with sheet and location, assigns each to a designer and tracks responses. When the revised set comes in, it compares the sheets with each comment to confirm it was addressed. Comments not addressed are reopened and the designer is notified. A 'no change' answer needs a reason before closing. It also runs basic checks on every set, such as the sheet index, title blocks and cross-references. The reviewing engineer signs off. Edge case: a cross-reference that points to a deleted detail is caught even if no reviewer commented on it.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list

- 'No change' needs a reason
- Cross-references checked every set
- Comments tracked by sheet location
