How PlanScanAI helps
Every asbestos engagement starts with historical drawings, asbestos registers and management plans. Cross-referencing these against current floor plans to identify suspect ACM locations is painstaking work. PlanScanAI reads both the historical and current drawing sets and highlights every referenced ACM location, access point and sample position.
Choose ‘Asbestos Surveys’ as your trade, upload your drawings, and run a Guided Scan. The AI identifies ACM references, risk categories, access-controlled areas and sampling locations — ready for your UKAS-accredited workflow.
