Construction / Design QA/QC
REAL checks drawings and BIM against the standards, lease terms, and specifications that govern the project, surfacing what is missing, inconsistent or changed before it becomes a construction issue.
Why it matters
Senior architects and engineers review drawings, models and standards project by project, and the quality depends on who remembers what to check. REAL turns those expert checks into repeatable logic, applied across the design package, with every exception tied to the source that triggered it.

construction and as-built documents put to work within days
REAL structures the checks experienced teams already perform, including client standards, work-letter requirements, MEP and accessibility, and applies them consistently across every project. Required professional sign-off stays with the architect, engineer, or authority having jurisdiction.
Checks applied · Northgate build
Client design standards
Checked against plans and specifications
Lease & work-letter requirements
Tested against landlord and tenant obligations
MEP requirements
Cross-checked across drawings and schedules
Accessibility requirements
Pre-screened against defined requirements
Sustainability requirements
LEED / WELL criteria where configured
Project-specific specifications
Checked against the governing project package
Information can exist correctly in the model and still fail to appear in the issued set. REAL compares BIM, drawings, schedules and prior revisions to surface what went missing or changed between versions, with every finding linked back to its source.

REAL loads the governing requirements, reads the current design package, runs the expert checks, compares versions and sources, and moves every exception forward with its evidence attached.
Workflow
01 · Define what the project must satisfy
Client standards, lease and work-letter requirements, specifications
02 · Read the current design package
BIM, drawings, schedules, specifications, revisions
03 · Run the expert checks
Omissions, inconsistencies, conflicts, changed requirements
04 · Compare versions and sources
What changed, and where sources no longer agree
05 · Move the exception forward
Evidence, affected requirement, and required review attached
REAL tests the design against context outside the file itself, including standards, lease terms, work letters, and project history. It's not just that two files differ. REAL identifies where the difference conflicts with what the project is supposed to deliver, and carries that exception into action.

Every workflow, one context
Lease, financial, construction, facilities, and portfolio workflows run on the same asset or location context. What one workflow learns becomes usable by the next, without rebuilding the evidence every time.
Bring one project package. See REAL check it against the standards, leases and specifications that govern it.
Design QA/QC
REAL checks the design package against the requirements configured for the project, including client standards, lease and work-letter requirements, specifications, MEP and accessibility criteria.
No. REAL makes repeatable checks and evidence discovery scalable. Professional review, engineering judgment, and formal sign-off remain with the appropriate professionals.
Where model and drawing information is available, REAL compares sources to surface missing, inconsistent or changed information, with every finding tied to its evidence.
Yes. This is a primary use case. Enterprise-specific standards become repeatable checks instead of requiring senior staff to repeat the same review on every project.
CAD / Plan Intelligence helps teams understand the information in plans. Design QA/QC tests those plans against what the project is supposed to contain and surfaces the exceptions that need action.
REAL supports pre-screening against defined requirements supplied to the workflow. It does not provide formal code approval or certification, or replace a licensed professional.
