Permitting Is Slow, Expensive, and Unpredictable
Construction projects often face delays because permit drawings must comply with complex municipal codes and regulations. Developers and engineers frequently rely on expensive consultants or repeated submissions to ensure their plans meet requirements.
Expensive Consulting
Pre-permit consulting fees can run thousands of dollars per project, just to identify potential issues.
Long Review Cycles
Municipal reviews can take weeks or months, stalling project timelines and increasing carrying costs.
Unexpected Issues
Compliance problems discovered late in the review process are costly and time-consuming to fix.
Multiple Resubmissions
A single missed requirement triggers costly redesign cycles and permit resubmissions.
Delayed Timelines
Project schedules slip when compliance issues are discovered at the municipality, not before.
Complex Code Landscape
Every municipality has its own codes. Navigating IBC, local amendments, and special requirements is overwhelming.
A single missed requirement can result in weeks of delay and thousands in additional costs.
PermitGuard Uses AI Agents To Review Plans Automatically
PermitGuard uses specialized AI agents trained to analyze construction drawings, engineering documents, and regulatory requirements. These agents work together to evaluate plans for potential compliance issues, flag risks, and provide actionable feedback before submission.
Instead of waiting weeks for feedback from a municipality, PermitGuard can provide an initial compliance analysis within minutes.
How It Works
From upload to a full specialist compliance report in minutes
Upload Your Plans
Upload your PDF drawings — architectural, structural, MEP, civil, and specs. Each sheet is automatically classified by discipline.
Specialist Review Runs
Discipline-specific AI reviewers analyze each set of drawings in parallel against the adopted codes and local amendments for your jurisdiction.
Quality-Validated Report
All findings go through an internal validation pass before you see them. You receive a scored, prioritised report with specific code citations and confidence ratings.
Submit With Confidence
Address the findings, re-run as many times as you need, and submit your permit application knowing potential issues have been surfaced.

Every Drawing Gets Dedicated Attention
Each sheet in your plan set is individually reviewed by the specialist for its discipline — no drawing is skipped or diluted because the set is large.
Local Codes, Not Just IBC
PermitGuard understands that every municipality adopts and amends codes differently. The system researches jurisdiction-specific requirements for your project address — not a generic national standard.
Quality-Controlled Before Delivery
Every finding goes through an internal validation pass before you see it — reducing false positives, consolidating overlapping issues, and ensuring confidence levels are accurately reported.
