Permit Submission AI
AI that helps prepare and check permit submission packages.
Definition
Permit Submission AI assists in preparing complete and compliant permit packages by checking drawings against jurisdiction requirements, verifying all required information is included, and identifying potential issues before submission. These systems understand local permit requirements and can flag missing items, incomplete forms, or likely rejection points. This reduces permit review cycles and approval delays.
In Depth
Permit submission is often where construction timelines start to slip. A design team submits their documents to the jurisdiction, waits weeks for a plan review, gets comments back, makes corrections, resubmits, and waits again. Each cycle adds weeks to the schedule, and the most frustrating comments are the ones that should have been caught before submission — dimensional errors, missing code compliance information, inconsistencies between documents.
AI-powered permit submission preparation runs the drawings and specifications through automated compliance checks before the design team submits to the jurisdiction. The AI checks the same requirements that a plan examiner would — occupancy classification, construction type limitations, egress compliance, accessibility, fire protection, plumbing fixture counts — and produces a report of findings for the team to resolve.
The goal is not to eliminate plan review — it is to eliminate the easy round-trip corrections that slow down the permitting process. When the design team resolves AI-identified issues before submission, the jurisdiction review can focus on the complex items that require professional judgment. Fewer review cycles, shorter permitting timelines, and fewer surprises during construction.
