WHY IT EXISTS

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.
