Plan review is the bottleneck the public actually feels. Ichi does the first pass — reading the submitted set against your adopted code and local amendments, then drafting structured comments with the section behind each one already attached.

What the reviewer gets

First-pass plan review

  1. Classify occupancy and construction type from the plan set

  2. Extract project data table and sheet index

  3. Check height, area and story limits against adopted tables

  4. Check local amendments for the jurisdiction

  5. Draft comments, one per finding, with citations

  6. Reviewer approves, edits or rejects each comment

Why the answers hold up

Findings are grounded in licensed code books and the amendments your jurisdiction actually adopted. For example, a sprinkler finding on an R-3 addition resolves against the local amendment rather than the model code:

Where it stands

Roughly a quarter of the work is automatable today, on a path to as much as 90% over the next one to three years as more jurisdictions come online and their interpretations feed back into the system.
