For Plan Reviewers & Jurisdictions

AI Plan Review Software Built for Jurisdictions

Most first-round permit rejections come from incomplete submissions, not code failures. Archidian is an AI plan review platform that automates the permit tech intake process and gives your building department a structured, code-aligned compliance baseline on every set.

Incomplete submissions are your building department's biggest bottleneck.

Missing sheets. Unsigned drawings. Title blocks that do not match the index. Placeholder notes left in the set. Your permit technicians catch these administrative errors every day, manually, one submission at a time.

Every incomplete set that enters your queue costs the AHJ a full review cycle. Automated plan review software catches these issues instantly at the intake portal, before they waste your reviewers' time.

Platform

Automate the intake. Accelerate the municipal review.

Two layers of automated plan review: an intake check that screens for completeness, and a compliance analysis that gives your team a consistent starting point.

Automated Permit Tech - Intake Review

Screen every submission for completeness, instantly

Archidian runs the permit tech checklist automatically using Vision AI. Every submission is screened for administrative completeness before it enters your queue. The platform automatically verifies sheet indices, detects missing professional seals and signatures, and flags draft markers, rejecting incomplete packages back to the applicant.

  • Sheet index verification that flags missing, orphaned, or misnumbered sheets
  • Title block validation that catches missing fields and cross-sheet mismatches
  • Seal and signature detection to confirm professional stamps are present
  • Placeholder scrub that flags TBD, "Not for Construction", and draft markers

AI-Assisted Compliance Review

Full code compliance analysis on every submission

Once a set passes intake, Archidian analyzes it against IBC, ADA, NFPA, and applicable building codes. Your reviewers get a structured report with traceable findings so two reviewers looking at the same set always start from the same place.

  • Every finding references the applicable code section and drawing location
  • Covers life safety, egress, accessibility, occupancy, and mechanical systems
  • Cross-page analysis catches discrepancies across the full drawing set
  • Consistent baseline regardless of which reviewer opens the submission

  • Upload local municipal codes, amendments, and policy documents
  • Review logic adapts to your jurisdiction's adopted edition
  • Internal checklists and interpretation guidelines built into the workflow
  • Consistent enforcement across every reviewer on your team
