Avoiding Construction Disputes Early
THE FIRMUS REVIEW — February 2025
AI Technology Tackles Construction Project Delays
How innovative software improves clarity, reduces risks, and increases efficiency.
A new wave of AI-powered tools is transforming how construction companies handle project delays and cost overruns. With over 87% of construction projects experiencing changes that lead to delays, these innovations couldn’t come at a better time.
Cloud-based AI design review tools like are proving particularly valuable during the preconstruction phase, analyzing complex document sets in hours instead of weeks. These tools identify potential issues like missing information, discrepancies, and scope gaps before they become costly problems during construction.
The impact is significant: while design-related issues currently affect 44.8% of projects and scope changes impact 38.8%, early AI-powered detection can help mitigate these risks. Industry forecasts suggest widespread adoption, with 90% of construction companies expected to implement cloud-based technology within five years.
For contractors and developers, this means better risk management, improved efficiency, and more successful project outcomes through proactive issue identification and resolution.

New Issue Grouping Capability
You asked, and we listened. This new capability will be released within the Issue Mitigation workspace this week! This handy new feature allows users to group issues using custom labels. Grouped issues can then be exported, assigned to project team members, or shared as an RFI.
User Benefits
- Users can group similar issues under one label, making the report less overwhelming for design teams and improving collaboration.
- Users gain better control over the review process by grouping issues under their own customized labels (e.g., “Josh to Check”, “Save for Later,” “Floor 10”, etc.).
- More customization, cleaner organization, and more control.
Expert Corner
Are you using the Issue Tracking feature?
The Issue Tracking feature provides a quick view of the number of new and unresolved issues between analyzed document sets. Clicking on, and filtering by, any group will take you to the Issue Mitigation workspace to view the respective issues.
Explore this feature today and streamline your workflow like never before!
RFIs Made Easier. For Everyone.
AI for preconstruction design review creates unexpected efficiencies, clarity, and faster response times for improved decision-making and risk mitigation.
