Your address and project details establish the context.

02

Run the tool logic

Project-specific rules and calculations evaluate the inputs.

03

Check local context

Official building and planning sources appear when available.

04

Receive the full report

Preview the result instantly, then email the full analysis to yourself.

WHY THIS TOOL MATTERS

What the AI Pre-Check Reviews

The tool checks for labels, dimensions, north arrow, scale, title information, structure footprints, existing/proposed distinctions, access and other common site-plan elements.

02

Use a Completeness Score, Not an Approval Score

A permit approval score would overpromise. The tool returns completeness, confidence and a list of detected or uncertain items.

03

Make Every Finding Explainable

When AI is enabled, findings identify what was detected, what appears missing, why it matters and what to verify next.

SOURCE & CONFIDENCE LAYER

04

Combine AI With Project Type

A pool plan, ADU plan and commercial site plan do not need the same information. Project type is included in the analysis prompt.

05

Privacy Is Part of the Product

Construction drawings can contain addresses and property information. The page identifies when a third-party AI provider is used and the plugin avoids adding uploaded plans to the Media Library.

06

Why a Completeness Score Is More Honest Than an Approval Score

A visual pre-check can assess whether common drawing elements appear present and whether the sheet is internally understandable. It cannot know every property-specific code interpretation or predict the reviewing agency's final decision. The tool therefore scores completeness and confidence rather than inventing an approval probability.

07

What the AI Can Evaluate Visually

The pre-check can look for common graphic elements such as title information, north arrow, scale, property context, structure labels, dimensions, existing/proposed distinctions, access and major site improvements. It can also flag areas that are unreadable or uncertain and recommend human verification.

08

When Human Review Is Still Important

Human review becomes more important when the drawing is low-resolution, handwritten, contains several sheets, depends on survey-level information, includes complex grading or has jurisdiction-specific requirements that are not visible on the sheet. AI should narrow the review workload, not replace professional judgment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

AI Site Plan Pre-Check FAQs

These answers explain how to interpret the tool and when local or professional verification still matters.

Can AI tell me if my site plan will be approved?

No. It can identify common completeness and coordination issues, but the reviewing agency decides approval.

What file types are accepted?

PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG and WEBP are accepted for AI analysis, subject to provider limits.

Can it read scanned or image-based plans?

The optional AI integration supports visual file analysis, but confidence varies with scan quality.

Will it check local permit requirements?

It can use the project location and locally stored source context, but exact requirements should still be verified with the reviewing agency.

What happens if the tool finds major problems?

The result offers an expert review/redraw lead flow with the project information already populated.

Does the AI replace a plan checker?

No. It is a pre-submission completeness assistant, not a building department plan checker.

Can the full AI report be emailed?

Yes. The visitor can submit the report form after the preview and receive the complete analysis by email.
