Assess the impact of a changed drawing

A terracotta workflow banner above five steps, from an AI review of the revised drawing to a costed, stamped impact record.

A revised drawing lands. Let PlanOps review it and raise the queries, then turn each change into a costed, owner-assigned record — before it becomes a disputed claim at final account.

Goal

A fully-costed, owner-assigned impact record linked to the changed drawing.

What you walk away with

Every change from the revision captured as a typed event, costed with a confidence level, and linked back to the source drawing and its RFIs — defensible at final account.

Steps

Steps marked ⚡ AI task are done for you by a PlanOps AI assistant, run from the Assistant Hub on your project home.

Step 1: Let PlanOps review the revision and raise the queries ⚡ AI task

Point the assistant at the revised drawing. It checks the change against the rest of the project, logs a gap event for each issue it finds, and raises a linked RFI — so you start from typed records, not a blank form.

Run on demand from the Assistant Hub.

Step 2: Log any commercial change the review didn't raise

Not every change is a gap. Where the revision adds scope or instructs new work, capture it yourself as an event, so the variation is on record from the moment you spot it.

Step 3: Classify what kind of change each one is

Set the event type so the change is filed correctly — a variation, an RFI, a delay — and flows into the right reports automatically.

Step 4: Cost the impact

Record the financial impact with a category, amount and confidence level, so the commercial position is clear and trackable from day one.
