Everything you need to know about PlanCheckPro.AI, how it works, and what it delivers.
PlanCheckPro.AI analyzes your construction drawings against NEC, NFPA, ADA, and your local building code, then delivers a detailed compliance report with exact code citations and corrective actions for every flagged issue. The full review is completed on the same day. Upload your PDF drawing set, and the AI reads each sheet against applicable code sections the same way an experienced plan reviewer would, except it covers every discipline in a single pass.
The system reviews against NEC, NFPA, ADA, and your local building code, with coverage across all 50 states. Every flagged issue in your compliance report includes the specific code section it references and a corrective action that tells your team exactly what needs to change and where to find it in the code.
PlanCheckPro.AI reviews architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings in a single analysis. The system reads across disciplines the same way a plan review team would, checking each drawing set against the applicable codes and returning a consolidated compliance report.
System accuracy exceeds 99%. The AI was trained on thousands of code interpretations across multiple disciplines and calibrated by experienced plan reviewers to flag the issues that generate comments from building departments. The system is tuned to catch the items that matter in practice, at a level that reflects how experienced human reviewers operate.
Full compliance reports are delivered the same day. The same review that takes building departments weeks to complete, depending on their backlog and staffing levels, is returned in a fraction of the time.
PlanCheckPro.AI works with standard PDF construction drawings. This is the same format you already use to send plans to building departments, contractors, and consultants. Upload your drawing set and receive your compliance report with no file conversion and no special formatting required.
The most common use case is before submittal to a building department. Running your drawings through PlanCheckPro.AI before submitting to the AHJ means your team can identify and resolve code compliance issues ahead of time, reducing the number of comment rounds and the time spent in revision cycles. Contractors also use the software after receiving drawings from the design team, before construction starts, to catch issues that would otherwise surface as RFIs on site.
Yes. The system reviews against your specific local building code in addition to NEC, NFPA, and ADA, with coverage across all 50 states. Every flagged issue references the specific local code section it violates, so the output is relevant to the jurisdiction where your project is being permitted.
Every report includes the flagged code compliance issues across all disciplines reviewed, the exact code section each issue violates, and a detailed corrective action for every flagged item. The report covers architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings and can be shared with your design team, consultants, or building department.
No. PlanCheckPro.AI was designed by engineers who understand how construction professionals work. The software takes standard PDF drawings, the same files your team already produces and exchanges at every stage of the project cycle, and returns a compliance report. There is no new software platform to learn, no proprietary file format, and no disruption to your existing workflow.
No. PlanCheckPro.AI handles the time-intensive work of checking drawings against code so your team can focus on applying professional judgment and making the final call. The software identifies code compliance issues and brings them to the surface faster than a manual review. The decision on what to do with those findings stays with the human, every time.
Plan review exists to mitigate risk. PlanCheckPro.AI changes how quickly that risk gets surfaced. For firms without enough senior staff to do deep quality control on every drawing set, the software puts the knowledge of an experienced plan reviewer into the hands of every member of the team.
A human plan reviewer typically catches about half of the code compliance issues in a drawing set. The other half are either missed entirely or caught during construction as RFIs, which trigger delays and change orders. PlanCheckPro.AI reviews the full drawing set against code on the same day and flags issues with exact citations and corrective actions, covering every discipline in a single analysis.
The software does not replace the reviewer's judgment. It gives them a comprehensive starting point so their time is spent evaluating and resolving issues rather than searching for them.
PlanCheckPro.AI is calibrated to flag the code compliance issues that building departments consistently call out. The system is tuned to operate at a level where the flagged items are actionable and relevant, matching the types of comments an experienced plan reviewer would generate. Items that require subjective interpretation or jurisdiction-specific judgment are left to the human reviewer, which is how it should work. AI handles the volume and the consistency. The professional applies the judgment.
That is the primary use case for architects and MEP design professionals. PlanCheckPro.AI catches the issues building departments will flag before your drawings reach them. When your team resolves those issues before submittal, the drawing set that arrives at the AHJ is cleaner, more complete, and far more likely to move through review without multiple comment rounds. Over 500 firms use the software for exactly this reason.
The most effective approach is to review your own drawings against code before you submit them. PlanCheckPro.AI returns the same types of comments a building department reviewer would generate, with exact code citations and corrective actions, so your team can fix issues before the AHJ ever sees the drawings. Fewer comments means fewer revision cycles, shorter permitting timelines, and fewer difficult conversations with clients about delays.
Yes. The system reviews electrical drawings section by section against the National Electrical Code, with specific citations for every flagged issue. NEC compliance is one of the most comment-dense areas in plan review because of the volume of provisions that can apply to a single project. PlanCheckPro.AI checks your drawings against those provisions and tells you exactly where and how to fix each issue.
Yes. PlanCheckPro.AI reviews against NFPA provisions, checking fire protection and life safety compliance against the sections building departments scrutinize most. Every flagged issue includes the specific NFPA reference and a corrective action.
The review itself is delivered the same day. A drawing set that would sit in a building department queue for weeks is reviewed the same day with PlanCheckPro.AI. But the bigger time savings come from fewer comment rounds after submittal. When your design team resolves code compliance issues before submitting to the AHJ, the drawings move through review faster, and every week you save in permitting is a week of carrying costs you avoid on the land.
Yes. Anyone in the project cycle can upload drawings and receive a compliance report. Architects use it before submittal to reduce comments from building departments. Contractors use it after receiving drawings from the design team to catch code issues that would otherwise become RFIs during construction. Developers use it to verify that their team's drawings are code-compliant before money and time get committed to a submittal that comes back with problems.
When compliance problems get resolved before a project breaks ground, they do not surface as RFIs that push schedules back and change orders that eat into margins. Contractors who run drawings through PlanCheckPro.AI before construction starts catch the issues that would otherwise require the design team to respond mid-build, which means fewer interruptions, fewer cost overruns, and a schedule that holds.
Every file uploaded to PlanCheckPro.AI is encrypted, and your project data is only accessible to the people on your team. We do not share, sell, or provide access to your drawings or project information to anyone outside your organization. The system was built by engineers who understand that construction drawings contain sensitive, project-specific information, and we designed the platform to protect that information at every level.
No. Your drawings are processed for the purpose of generating your compliance report and are not used for any other purpose. Your data stays yours.
AI-assisted plan review is gaining regulatory acceptance across the country. In Florida, House Bill 683 (effective July 1, 2025) authorizes licensed private providers to use automated or software-based plan review systems for code compliance, including the National Electrical Code and the Florida Building Code. PlanCheckPro.AI is built to meet the requirements of this statute, giving users in Florida a legally backed path to faster permitting through AI-assisted review. Similar legislation is expanding in other states.
House Bill 683 is a Florida law (effective July 1, 2025) that authorizes private providers to use automated or software-based systems to perform plan reviews and determine code compliance. The law also mandates that local building departments accept these reviews when performed by qualified private providers, reduces permit turnaround timelines for specific project types, and legalizes virtual inspections for many types of construction work. PlanCheckPro.AI qualifies under this statute.
In Florida, under HB 683, licensed private providers can use PlanCheckPro.AI as part of an official plan review and submit the results to the building department as part of the permit application. Outside of Florida, the software is used as a pre-submittal quality control tool that catches code compliance issues before drawings reach the building department. Both use cases reduce permitting timelines and improve the quality of the drawing set that goes through formal review.
PlanCheckPro.AI was created by Pacifica Engineering Services, a team of licensed engineers, building officials, plan reviewers and permitting professionals based in Florida. The team spent years working inside the construction permitting system and built the software around real plan review workflows because they have lived those workflows for decades. Over 500 construction firms use the software today.
