Problem
Architectural and engineering teams often rely on manual plan reviews to check compliance with building codes such as IBC, ADA, and NFPA. This process is time‑consuming, prone to human error, and frequently misses cross‑discipline coordination gaps, leading to costly rework and delayed permit approvals.
Solution
Archidian offers an AI‑driven platform that automatically scans complete PDF drawing sets to identify code violations and coordination issues across multiple disciplines, including fire protection, accessibility, plumbing, structural, civil, electrical, and mechanical. The system extracts relevant geometry, validates egress paths, occupancy loads, fixture counts, and accessibility clearances, and cites the specific code tables and sections for each finding. Results are delivered as organized, actionable reports with a sheet index, clear issue categorization, and traceable code references, enabling architects, engineers, contractors, and municipal reviewers to address problems before formal submission. By automating permit intake and QA/QC workflows, Archidian reduces the time required for plan review from weeks to minutes while maintaining privacy and data security.
Target Audience
Primary users are architects, engineers, contractors, and municipal plan reviewers who need fast, reliable compliance checks for building code and life‑safety requirements.
Features
- Full‑package analysis of PDF drawing sets using computer‑vision and natural‑language processing to detect code non‑compliance
- Automated validation of egress paths, exit sizing, travel distances, occupancy loads, and plumbing fixture counts against IBC, ADA, NFPA, and local amendments
- Accessibility review of floor plans and clearances with direct references to federal and state standards
- Cross‑sheet coordination checks that flag missing, duplicate, or misnumbered sheets and discipline conflicts
- Structured output reports with code‑referenced findings, sheet index, and categorized issue lists for easy review
- Privacy‑focused architecture that keeps uploaded plans secure and does not require credit‑card information for a free review
