Smarter review from day one

Built for the realities of modern construction.

LightTable adapts to how developers and contractors actually work, uncovering costly design issues before they become expensive job site problems.

For developers + owners

Gain cost certainty and visibility before a single shovel hits the ground

  • Streamline your QA process without adding headcount.
  • Identify potential cost drivers before they trigger RFIs or change orders.
  • Improve construction outcomes with a scalable, repeatable process.

For general contractors

Submit cleaner bids with a clear picture of costs without any hidden fees

  • Catch problems before RFIs or change orders.
  • Improve communication with subcontractors and design teams.
  • Reduce surprises in the field and drive stronger delivery outcomes.
Products

Everything you need, from first drawings to final GMP

LightTable's review tools work together across the full preconstruction process.

QA/QC review

Catch coordination issues early, before they reach the field

  • Surfaces conflicts across architectural, structural, MEP, civil, and more.
  • Prioritizes issues by cost impact so your team focuses on what matters most.
  • Immediately see side by side all the drawings driving each issue.
  • Rerun drawings as you work so your always up to date on the areas to focus on.

Checklist review

Check every project against your own lessons learned

Ball in court

Clear issue ownership so nothing falls through the cracks

Expert double check

Expert human validation on top of AI detection

Value engineering

Find cost wins without compromising quality or schedule

  • Identifies substitutions and design optimizations that cut your project cost.
  • Surfaces specific recommendations with pros, cons, and downstream system impacts clearly laid out.
  • Flags which changes affect quality, schedule, or adjacent scopes so you can make the right call.
  • Designed for the developer and GC to decide together which wins are worth taking.

Risk analysis

Understand what your GMP actually commits you to

  • Analyzes GMP documents alongside your drawings to identify where you have financial or schedule exposure.
  • Find gaps between the GMP and the contract drawings/specs.
  • Connects contract risks directly to open QA/QC issues to understand who is responsible for upcoming construction challenges.

Track changes

Know exactly what changed between drawing sets

  • Upload two versions of a drawing set and get a page-by-page comparison of every change.
  • Catches scope changes that affect your bid before you're locked in
  • Helps you keep your bid current as drawing sets get updated

Versioning (rerun projects at different phases and track trends)

Versioning issue timeline preview

Calibrates findings as expectations change from SD to CD to bid.

Tracks whether issues were resolved as drawings progress.

Shows trends over time: are errors decreasing as the project develops, or growing?

We sent the documents to LightTable. The next day we got the comments and pushed them to the design team. It was early enough that they had just started construction docs, so we were able to get meaningful comments right away. That was a game changer.
