Archistar eCheck is an AI-powered compliance platform that extracts geometry from PDF, CAD, or BIM files and automatically checks designs against municipal zoning, fire, accessibility, and structural codes. It provides instant pass/fail results with visual annotations and downloadable reports, and integrates via API into permit‑management systems for municipalities, developers, architects, and certifiers.

Problem
Municipal building departments and developers must manually compare architectural plans against extensive local zoning and building codes, a process that is time‑consuming, prone to human error, and often creates bottlenecks in permit approvals. Inconsistent review standards further reduce submission quality and increase re‑work for both regulators and industry stakeholders.
Solution
Archistar eCheck delivers an AI‑driven compliance engine that automatically extracts geometry from PDF, CAD, or BIM files and evaluates the design against the jurisdiction’s digital code library. The platform generates an instant “pass” or “fail” assessment accompanied by a detailed, visual compliance report that highlights specific rule violations. By embedding the service into existing permit‑management systems, eCheck enables planners to triage applications faster and reduces processing times by up to 90 %. The same tool is available to developers, architects, and certifiers, allowing them to pre‑validate submissions before filing, which improves overall plan quality and lowers the likelihood of rejection. Both fully custom, white‑labeled deployments and pre‑configured “Smart Packs” are offered to match the unique regulatory frameworks of individual municipalities.
Target Audience
The primary users are municipal planning and building‑permit offices seeking to streamline code enforcement, and industry professionals—developers, architects, and certifiers—who need to verify design compliance before submission.
