Automate BIM Drawing Compliance Reviews and Engineering License Verification
GUIDE enables BIM managers and compliance teams to automate engineering drawing reviews, license verification, and compliance reporting across multiple systems. Instead of manually reviewing drawings, checking signatures and stamps, validating engineer licenses, and compiling reports, GUIDE performs the entire process automatically. This use case demonstrates how organizations can improve compliance accuracy, reduce review times, and streamline project oversight while maintaining complete visibility into engineering documentation.
Business Challenges
Engineering and construction organizations often spend significant time manually reviewing project documentation and verifying compliance requirements.
Common challenges include:
Reviewing large volumes of engineering drawings
Verifying signatures, stamps, and approval documentation
Confirming engineer license status
Tracking compliance across multiple projects
Identifying missing approvals or documentation
Compiling compliance reports manually
Coordinating communication between compliance and project teams
Managing data across multiple systems
These activities can delay project delivery and increase compliance risk.
How GUIDE Solves It
GUIDE automates the entire engineering drawing compliance review process through a natural language-driven AI agent.
The GUIDE agent:
Opens project folders and locates engineering drawings
Creates compliance tracking spreadsheets automatically
Reviews drawings one by one
Extracts signature block information
Captures engineer names, dates, locations, and license numbers
Identifies missing signatures or approval stamps
Verifies engineer licenses through state licensing databases
Records findings in a centralized compliance report
Generates completion status reports
Sends results directly to stakeholders through Slack
Because GUIDE operates through the graphical user interface, it can automate workflows across file systems, Excel, government licensing websites, and collaboration platforms without requiring APIs, scripts, or custom integrations.
Business Benefits
Organizations can achieve significant benefits by automating BIM compliance workflows with GUIDE:
Reduce manual drawing review effort
Improve compliance consistency and accuracy
Accelerate project approval processes
Identify missing documentation automatically
Verify professional licenses in real time
Improve audit readiness
Reduce project risk
Increase operational efficiency
Enable teams to focus on higher-value project activities

In this example, a BIM manager and the compliance team stay aligned on engineering drawing completion using files, Excel, online licensing services, and Slack.
We start in GUIDE with a five-step workflow that automates actions across these applications. To begin, we simply click Run.
First, GUIDE opens the project folder to locate the design files. Next, it creates an Excel spreadsheet to track compliance status. GUIDE sets the column names and adjusts the column widths.
Now it gathers the file names tagged Final. Each file is added as a new row in the spreadsheet. We save the tracking file as BIM Notes.
Next, GUIDE begins reviewing the drawings. It opens the first file and scans the signature block, capturing the place, date, engineering name, and license number. It also checks whether a handwritten signature and approved stamp are present. Those values are recorded in the spreadsheet for tracking.
GUIDE continues down the list, opening each drawing, examining the signature block, and recording what is present and what is missing.
For example, in this structural drawing, the approval stamp is missing, so that is flagged in the report.
Next, GUIDE verifies the engineer's license status. It opens the California licensing website and searches using the name and license number.
Here we see that Melissa Duffy's license is active, so the spreadsheet is updated.
Next, we check Robert Garrett. His license has been cancelled, which is also recorded in the report. GUIDE continues checking all engineers and updating the tracking sheet.
When the review is complete, the spreadsheet is saved.
Finally, GUIDE opens Slack and sends the BIM completion status report to the BIM manager, with the detailed tracking spreadsheet attached.
What would normally be a repetitive, multi-system compliance review process is now completely automated with GUIDE.
