Automated Scope Gap Detection
ChangeGuard reads your construction documents the way an experienced project manager would — cross-referencing drawings against contracts and scope sheets to surface the gaps hiding between trades.
Every Project Has Gaps Hiding in the Documents
Every construction project starts with thousands of pages — drawings, contracts, scope sheets, and bid packages. Buried across these documents are scope gaps: work that's shown in the drawings but not assigned to any trade, obligations split ambiguously between contracts, and coordination items that fall through the cracks. These gaps become change orders, disputes, and delays — often discovered only after work is underway.
How ChangeGuard Finds Them
Upload Your Documents
Upload your construction drawings (PDF), contracts (PDF/DOCX), and scope sheets. ChangeGuard extracts text, tables, and visual content from every page — breaking documents into structured sections so every piece of information is mapped to its context.
Cross-Document Analysis
This is the core of ChangeGuard. Drawings are analyzed against contracts against scope sheets — checking what's shown, what's specified, and what's been assigned. Multiple detectors run in parallel: drawing-contract gap analysis, scope-contract alignment, trade conflict detection, and MEP coordination checks. Each detected gap becomes a structured finding with a severity rating, affected trades, financial exposure estimate, and citations to the specific drawing sheets and contract clauses involved.

Act on Real Findings
ChangeGuard produces a professional PDF report with an executive summary, detailed findings, and pre-drafted RFI language you can send to the design team immediately. You also get a CSV export for tracking in your own systems.
Eight Ways Your Scope Can Break
Every finding is classified into one of eight categories so your team can prioritize and route issues to the right people.
Missed Scope
Work shown in drawings but not assigned to any trade.
Trade Overlap
Same work claimed by multiple trades.
Contractual Issue
Scope language ambiguities or conflicts.
Coordination Gap
MEP conflicts between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing.
Scope Boundary Unclear
Undefined interface between trades.
Drawing-Contract Mismatch
Drawings contradict contract language.
Specification Ambiguity
Unclear requirements or standards references.
Omitted Work
Required work (code-driven) not in any scope document.
What You Walk Away With
Professional PDF Report
Executive summary, detailed findings, severity ratings, and financial exposure estimates — ready to share with your team.
Pre-Drafted RFIs
Every finding includes professionally written RFI language you can send directly to the design team — no rewriting needed.
CSV Export
Download findings as a spreadsheet to track resolutions in your existing project management workflow.
Proactive Questions
Beyond findings, each report includes questions your team should be asking — coordination items, clarification needs, and scope boundaries worth confirming before work begins.
