Church Project: AI Caught ~300 Issues, City Feedback in Days

  • ~300 issues flagged by AI before city submittal
  • Team fixed issues before city review

"Yes, I would say we got fewer pages of city comments because the AI had already caught a lot of things that would have come back. Most of the comments are small and insignificant. We will easily wrap this up in only a few days."
