AsBuilt vs Struction
Two drawing-centred tools that both publish monthly prices and both exhibit at Procore Groundbreak 2026: AsBuilt (smart drawings linked to RFIs and submittals, with AI mapping on credits) and Struction (AI-first Q&A, tracing and counting across contract documents). Compared using only vendor-published facts; not tested.

| Category | Smart drawings | AI document Q&A & takeoff |
| AI role (our label) | AI features added to established product | AI-first |
| What it does | "Smart drawings" that turn each sheet into a hub for RFIs, submittals, specs and schedules. Two-way sync of projects, drawings, RFIs and submittals through a data connector API; one-click mapping that scans walls, doors, windows and fixtures on a drawing. | AI that answers questions, traces, counts and scopes across drawings, specs, addenda and model elements, citing back to the contract documents; free tier. |

Where the vendor descriptions differ
- Approach: AsBuilt describes "smart drawings" that turn each sheet into a hub for RFIs, submittals, specs and schedules, with one-click mapping that scans walls, doors, windows and fixtures. Struction describes AI that answers questions, traces, counts and scopes across drawings, specs, addenda and model elements, citing back to the contract documents.
- AI label in our directory: Struction is AI-first; AsBuilt is listed as AI features added to an established product.
- Integrations: AsBuilt describes two-way sync of projects, drawings, RFIs and submittals through a data connector API. We did not record an integration list for Struction.
- Pricing (vendor-listed, checked Oct 16, 2026): AsBuilt bills monthly plans by AI credits with unlimited team members: Free (50 credits/month), Starter $29, Professional $99, Enterprise $299 per month, plus credit bundles ($10 for 100, $45 for 500, $80 for 1,000); the page says mapping a drawing costs 5 credits plus 1 per detected object. Struction lists Free $0, Struction $50/month billed monthly, Struction for GC's $500 per user per month (up to 10 users) and a custom usage-based Enterprise GC plan.
- Billing basis differs (credits per account vs per-user for the GC plan), so the monthly figures are not like-for-like.

What we can't tell you yet
Which tool is better for your work. That needs testing on the same package with a verified answer key. Planned measures for this comparison:
- Accuracy of counts and answers against a verified answer key on the same drawing set
- Outside Means & Methods Lab's current benchmark scope.
