Frequently Asked Questions
PlanCheckPro.AI uses proprietary algorithms and machine learning models to automatically compare uploaded plans to building codes, delivering flagged issues with direct code citations and detailed corrective actions – all in less than a day.
We currently support Florida Building Code, and National Electric Code. Additional jurisdictions and custom rule sets are being added regularly.
Yes. PlanCheckPro.AI if used by a Private Provider can be used to perform Plan Review.
As of July 1, 2025, Private providers are now authorized to use automated or software-based plans review systems to assess compliance with applicable codes, including the National Electrical Code and the Florida Building Code. PlanCheckPro.AI qualifies under this statute to verify and report code compliance—dramatically reducing approval timelines.
Yes. PlanCheckPro.AI AI-reviewed documents that align with the legal requirements of HB 683 for private providers.
You gain speed, control, and predictability. Our clients routinely see first-round approvals increase, delays cut by months, and costly RFIs avoided.
Yes. We use enterprise-grade security with encrypted file handling and multi-user access control per project.
Yes. Under Florida House Bill 683, which went into effect on July 1, 2025, private providers are now permitted to use software and automated systems to conduct plan reviews. PlanCheckPro.AI meets the legal criteria for such tools, as it assesses compliance with applicable codes (e.g., FBC, NEC) and generates verifiable reports that can be submitted as part of the permit package.
PlanCheckPro.AI operates under the regulatory framework of HB 683, which requires municipalities in Florida to accept private provider software-based reviews. While no centralized “approval” is required or issued by each AHJ, we actively ensure our reports meet or exceed submittal requirements across Florida jurisdictions.
PlanCheckPro.AI integrates seamlessly into your existing workflow. You simply upload your PDF construction drawings via our secure web portal. Within hours, you receive a report detailing code violations and recommended corrective actions. You can incorporate this feedback directly into your plans before submission to AHJs, or during design/bidding, or attach the report to your permit package if filing as a private provider.
We currently accept multi-page PDF files of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings. All files are scanned for threats and encrypted on upload.
Yes. While our base models are trained on the Florida Building Code and National Electric Code, we support rule-set extensions for jurisdiction-specific overlays, zoning criteria, and special district requirements. Enterprise users or AHJs can request customized code logic to be built into their dashboard.
The system does ADA reviews, additional modules are in development.
When revised drawings are uploaded, the system performs a differential analysis against previous versions, identifying what has changed and how it affects code compliance. This reduces repetitive review effort and flags any new code violations introduced during revisions. A change log is included in the output report.
We offer onboarding support, live demos, and dedicated account managers for enterprise clients. Our helpdesk includes training videos, documentation, and a live chat option during business hours. Custom training sessions and certification for in-house teams are also available on request.
FAQ for Developers
PlanCheckPro.AI delivers plan review results in hours, not weeks. By identifying and resolving code issues before submittal, we significantly reduce RFI cycles and increase your odds of first-round approvals.
Absolutely. Many developers use PlanCheckPro.AI as a pre-submittal check to resolve compliance issues early. This saves time, avoids redesign fees, and gives your design team a clearer runway.
Faster permits mean earlier construction starts and earlier rent/sales revenue. Fewer RFIs also reduce contractor delays, change orders, and carrying costs. Our system cut permitting timelines by 30–50%.
Yes, when working with a licensed private provider. Under HB 683, these reports can be included in official submittals as part of your permit strategy.
Not at all. PlanCheckPro.AI fits into your current process. You can invite your consultants and builders to collaborate on the platform, improving transparency and accountability without extra complexity.
FAQ for AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction)
No. Our system supports both AHJ reviewers and private providers by accelerating initial reviews, improving consistency and flagging compliance issues early. AHJs can use our tool internally to save time and focus on higher-risk plans.
Yes. Under Florida HB 683, automated reviews by qualified private providers using approved software are legally accepted. Our reports include code citations, detailed reasoning, and the licensed reviewer’s digital signature.
Absolutely. AHJs can license PlanCheckPro.AI to assist their internal review team. It’s especially useful for catching missed items, validating outsourced reviews, or handling intake surges.
No significant change is needed. The platform is cloud-based, intuitive, and can operate independently of your permitting system. We also offer free onboarding and AHJ-specific dashboards.
Yes. We offer custom rule set development for counties, cities, or municipalities . This ensures your specific overlays or amendments are built into the AI's logic.
FAQ for Private Providers
Yes. HB 683 explicitly permits private providers to use software tools to perform plan reviews. PlanCheckPro.AI meets all the criteria, code citations and full traceability.
You can batch-process plan sets and receive detailed compliance reports in hours. This means your team spends less time on initial review and more time validating key risk areas. It also cuts human error and inconsistency.
Yes. The platform allows qualified reviewers to digitally sign and seal output reports, which can then be submitted as part of your permit package.
Absolutely. The platform runs change detection to identify what was updated, ensuring only new violations are flagged—ideal for managing resubmittals or value engineering changes.
We provide clear documentation showing how the tool works, how reports are generated, and how it aligns with HB 683. We also offer support letters, live demos, and jurisdictional outreach to help with adoption.
