Problem
Permit applications and construction plan sets often contain missing documents or code compliance errors that are only discovered after submission, causing delays, repeated correction cycles, and backlogs for both applicants and reviewing agencies.
Solution
Optimizm Solutions offers an automated “second set of eyes” that performs completeness audits and code compliance checks on permit packages and design PDFs. The platform scans each submitted sheet, flags missing items, identifies sections requiring manual review, and detects code violations such as egress widths or fire‑rated assemblies with a reported 99% accuracy rate. Results are presented with clear annotations indicating where issues occur, enabling applicants to correct problems before submission and reviewers to focus on complex engineering judgments. Integration hooks allow the service to work alongside existing permit management software, streamlining the intake workflow and accelerating approval timelines.
Target Audience
Primary users are local government permitting agencies and plan reviewers, as well as architects, engineers, and contractors who submit building permit applications.
