pe-review

What problem does it solve?

Construction project engineers and managers waste hours manually reviewing drawings, specifications, submittals, and RFIs for missing items, cross-trade conflicts, and unassigned scope responsibilities that lead to costly change orders, rework, and project delays. This skill automates systematic, PE-level document review checks to catch these critical issues early in the project lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Red Flag Scanning: Automatically flags common high-risk construction errors (e.g., missing air barrier continuity, uncoordinated MEP rough-ins, incorrect firestopping) across all document types, even when unrelated to the immediate query.
• Cross-Trade Coordination Checks: Uses a built-in coordination matrix to identify conflicts between trades (e.g., concrete slab depressions vs. flooring assemblies, structural embeds vs. steel connections) before work is enclosed and inaccessible.
• Scope Gap Detection: Flags unassigned responsibilities at trade boundaries (e.g., who installs roof curbs, who provides equipment pads) that are the leading cause of change orders and disputes.
• Use Case: A PE reviewing a set of construction drawings for a new mixed-use building can use this skill to quickly identify missing sill pan flashing at punched windows, uncoordinated VFD cooling requirements in mechanical rooms, and gaps in who is responsible for firestopping penetrations through rated walls.

Quick Start

Use the pe-review skill to review the attached construction drawings and specifications for the downtown office project, flagging any missing items, cross-trade conflicts, and scope gaps that need RFI clarification.
