The Operational Problem

Landscaping scope-of-work templates sit in SharePoint. Civil site drawings and irrigation plans live in Procore. Subcontractor exclusions are buried in bid proposals. Three systems, zero automated mechanism to confirm they agree on who owns what work.

When irrigation excludes pipe sleeves under roadways as sitework scope, and sitework excludes them as irrigation scope, neither trade sees the conflict at bid time. Treating scope gaps at trade interfaces as minor administrative issues quietly destroys project margin.

How Scope Checker Agent Automates This

Datagrid's AI agents execute landscaping scope validation by reconciling contractual project files, construction documents, and project metadata. People still decide how to resolve conflicts. The agent detects discrepancies before those decisions are required.

1

Assemble project files

The agent connects to SharePoint and Procore to assemble landscaping subagreements, civil drawings, irrigation plans, and Division 32 specifications for a given project without manual file gathering.

2

Compare assigned scope

The agent compares each subcontractor's scope-of-work language against drawing and specification requirements. It flags work items no subagreement claims and detects overlaps where multiple trades claim the same item.

3

Analyze exclusions

The agent evaluates exclusions in each subagreement against the full specification set, flags items excluded by multiple trades as high-risk gaps, and categorizes findings by CSI MasterFormat division.

4

Generate discrepancy reports

The agent delivers a structured scope gap analysis, exclusion impact analysis, and risk assessment. It prioritizes the most recent drawing revisions and highlights discrepancies with older versions referenced in executed subcontracts.

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs

  • Prime contracts, subagreements, and executed change orders stored in SharePoint

  • Drawings, specifications, and attachments synced from Procore, including civil grading plans and irrigation design drawings

  • RFIs, submittals, and record information from Procore that document scope clarifications already in progress

  • General built world knowledge applied to interpret trade interface boundaries across CSI MasterFormat divisions

Outputs

  • Scope gap analysis identifying work items required by drawings or specifications but not assigned to any trade's subagreement

  • Scope overlap resolution documentation flagging instances where multiple subcontracts claim responsibility for identical work items

  • Exclusion impact analysis evaluating each subcontractor's carve-outs against the full project specification set, organized by CSI MasterFormat division

  • Risk assessment reports ranking discrepancies by structural, life safety, and long-lead classification with timeline and budget impact

  • Drawing version control verification confirming subagreements reference current revisions, not superseded drawing sets

Workflow Context

Datagrid's AI agents execute this scope validation workflow within broader project controls. The Scope Checker Agent surfaces unpriced scope items before subcontract buyout is finalized. When it detects a specification section unowned by any trade, that finding routes into the RFI Validator Agent to flag cost, schedule, or quality implications before submission. The Document Comparison Agent receives drawing revision discrepancies to track civil element changes across versions. The Summary Spec Submittal Agent then validates that submitted products comply with the specifications the Scope Checker Agent confirmed are assigned. Accurate trade assignment keeps change order, procurement, and closeout workflows aligned.

Works With

The Scope Checker Agent connects to existing project systems so teams can validate landscaping scope against current contracts, drawings, and coordination updates automatically.

SharePoint

SharePoint

Connects stored subagreements, executed change orders, and scope templates so the agent can validate landscaping trade ownership against current contract language.

Procore

Procore

Syncs civil drawings, irrigation plans, RFIs, submittals, and specifications so the agent can compare project requirements against subcontract scope assignments.

PlanGrid

PlanGrid

Brings sheet revisions and field drawing context into scope reviews, helping teams catch landscaping responsibility gaps tied to plan updates.

Slack

Slack

Routes scope gap findings and exclusion conflicts into team conversations so project managers can resolve ownership issues before buyout or field execution.

Trimble Connect

Trimble Connect

Adds coordinated project file context that helps teams verify landscape and site interface responsibilities across connected design information.

With these systems connected, teams can catch landscaping scope gaps earlier and keep trade assignments aligned as project documents change.

Frequently Asked Questions

The agent cross-references each subcontractor's exclusion list against every other sub's scope-of-work language and the project's full specification set. When two trades both exclude the same work item, such as pipe sleeves under roadways or irrigation point-of-connection taps, the agent flags the item as an unowned scope gap. It categorizes the finding by CSI MasterFormat division and assigns a risk ranking based on whether the item is structural, life safety, or long-lead. The flag surfaces before field work begins, not during a tense coordination meeting.

The agent prioritizes the most recent drawing revisions synced from Procore and compares them against the drawing sets referenced in each executed subagreement. When a subcontract references Revision A of a civil grading plan but Revision C is current, the agent flags the discrepancy and identifies specification sections affected by the revision delta. This prevents field teams from building to outdated information, a structural risk on projects routinely bought out against incomplete documents.

No. The agent identifies discrepancies, quantifies exclusion impacts, and generates risk-ranked recommendations. Project managers and VPs of Operations decide how to resolve gaps like whether to issue a change order, renegotiate a subagreement, or absorb the item into contingency. The agent executes the project file reconciliation work that would otherwise consume hours of manual cross-checking across drawings, specs, and subcontracts.

The agent detects cross-division interfaces, such as geosynthetics appearing in both Section 31 05 19 (earthwork) and Section 32 05 19 (exterior improvements), and flags them as items requiring explicit trade assignment. It groups related work items by division for change order packaging, so scope corrections route to the correct subcontractor with full specification context attached.

The agent reconciles contractual project files, project files, and project metadata for each connected project independently. When drawing revisions or executed change orders update scope in Procore or SharePoint, the agent re-validates affected subagreements and flags new discrepancies. Aggregated findings across projects surface patterns, such as the same exclusion appearing across multiple irrigation subcontracts, that indicate systemic scope definition gaps in standard templates.

Keep Landscaping Scope Validation Reliable with Datagrid

Datagrid gives project teams a repeatable way to detect landscaping scope gaps before they turn into rework, disputes, or margin erosion.

  • Scope reconciliation:: Compares subagreements, drawings, and Division 32 specifications to identify missing or overlapping trade ownership.
  • Exclusion analysis:: Flags subcontractor carve-outs that create unowned work items across landscape, sitework, and irrigation scopes.
  • Version control checks:: Verifies executed subcontracts reference current drawing revisions instead of superseded sets.
  • Risk-ranked reporting:: Prioritizes discrepancies by impact so project teams can resolve the highest-risk issues before buyout or field execution.
