Framework understands plain English questions about your construction documents. You don’t need special syntax, keywords, or boolean operators — just ask naturally.
How to Ask
- Open a conversation (new or existing).
- Type your question in the message input at the bottom.
- Press Enter or click the send button.
What You Can Ask
Framework can answer questions about any content in your uploaded documents:
- Specification requirements — “What is the concrete strength for foundations?”
- Material details — “What type of roofing membrane is specified?”
- Code compliance — “What are the fire rating requirements for stairwells?”
- Scope clarification — “What’s included in Division 09 finishes?”
- Cross-referencing — “Compare the structural steel requirements in the spec vs. the drawings.”
- Summaries — “Summarize the mechanical scope of work.”
- Finding details — “Where is the waterproofing detail shown?”
Follow-Up Questions
The AI remembers the context of your conversation, so you can ask follow-up questions without repeating yourself:
- “What about the reinforcement requirements for that section?”
- “Are there any exceptions?”
- “What does the drawing show for that detail?”
Best Practices
- Be specific — “What is the specified concrete strength for grade beams?” works better than “Tell me about concrete.”
- Reference document types — “According to the specifications, what…” helps the AI know where to look.
- Ask one thing at a time — Split complex questions into separate messages for clearer answers.
- Start new conversations for new topics — this keeps the context focused and prevents the AI from mixing up unrelated information.
