Electrical Drawing Compliance Checking Agent
Reviews electrical and mechanical engineering drawings against applicable code requirements, flagging non-compliant load calculations, clearances, and labeling before submission.
Electrical and mechanical engineers must verify drawings against dense, frequently updated code books such as the NEC and ASHRAE standards, a manual cross-referencing process that is time-consuming and prone to overlooking a single clearance or labeling requirement buried deep in the code
Non-compliant drawings that reach permit submission or construction cause costly resubmittals and field corrections
This agent systematically checks electrical and mechanical drawings against the applicable code edition, flagging violations in load calculations, panel clearances, equipment labeling, and system sizing before the drawing set goes out for review
The agent parses electrical and mechanical drawing sets, extracting panel schedules, load calculations, equipment tags, and clearance dimensions. It cross-references each element against the project's specified code edition (NEC, IMC, IFGC, ASHRAE 90.1, or local amendments), checking numeric values, required clearances, and labeling completeness. Violations and near-miss items are compiled into a compliance report with specific code section citations, routed to the responsible engineer for correction before drawings are issued for permit or construction.
Parse Drawing Elements
- Extract panel schedules and load calculation tables
- Identify equipment tags and clearance dimensions
- Confirm applicable code edition and local amendments
Cross-Reference Code Requirements
- Check load calculations against code sizing rules
- Verify required clearances and working space
- Confirm equipment labeling and identification requirements
Compile Compliance Findings
- Document violations with specific code citations
- Flag near-miss items requiring engineer judgment
- Rank findings by permit rejection risk
Route for Correction
- Assign findings to responsible engineer
- Track correction status before reissuance
- Log final compliance sign-off
