Problem
Municipal building departments, architects, and developers often rely on manual, paper‑based plan review processes that are slow, error‑prone, and require extensive staff time to check compliance with building codes and zoning regulations.
Solution
2BuildAI™ offers PlanSmartAI™, a cloud‑based platform that automatically analyzes architectural drawings and associated code documents using a combination of natural language processing and computer vision. The system cross‑references each blueprint against relevant local codes and zoning rules in real time, flagging potential violations before submission. Users receive detailed, actionable reports that highlight non‑compliant elements, enabling immediate correction and reducing the need for iterative re‑submissions. The platform integrates with existing construction management tools, providing a single source of truth for architects, planners, and municipal reviewers. By delivering consistent, AI‑driven compliance checks, PlanSmartAI™ accelerates approval cycles, lowers rework costs, and improves overall review accuracy.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal building departments, architects and design firms, and construction contractors who need fast, reliable code compliance verification for plan submissions.
