Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Architecture firms spend 5-10 hours per week manually researching building codes, reviewing plan sets for compliance issues, and responding to jurisdictional comments. Plan review delays of 6-18 months cost projects tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars per month.

✅

The Solution

AI instantly analyzes drawings against building codes and jurisdictional requirements, providing cited code answers in under 30 seconds. Pre-checks designs before submission to reduce review comments by 60% and accelerates permit approvals.
