Quick Summary
- Upload council standards and local specs as separate PDFs
- AI checks roads, stormwater, grading, and utilities against those requirements
- Re-uploads are treated as new checks so fixes are verified
- Per-sheet pricing keeps small projects affordable
Civil projects vary by council. One jurisdiction allows a 1:12 grade while the next requires 1:20. Stormwater criteria, road widths, and utility clearances all shift with local standards. AI plan review only works if it can apply those council-specific requirements to the drawings you submit.
Why council standards matter in civil QA
Civil design teams juggle national standards, state requirements, and council specifications at the same time. When a project crosses districts or when the authority has its own drainage manual, generic checks are not enough. A single slope or pipe sizing mismatch can trigger a full resubmittal. That is why locally scoped standards have to be part of the review.
Road design grades and crossfall limits
Stormwater detention and outlet criteria
Utility cover, clearance, and corridor rules
Upload council specs as separate files
InspectMind lets you upload drawings and standards separately. That means you can attach council specifications, transport authority manuals, or project requirements without baking them into every drawing set. The AI uses those documents as the source of truth when it checks the PDFs.
Examples of spec files to include
- • Council drainage design criteria and standard drawings
- • Road design standards and intersection geometry rules
- • Local utility authority requirements
- • Project-specific grading or staging requirements
Recheck revisions with confidence
Every re-upload is treated as a new check because the drawings changed. This keeps the review honest and helps you verify that the last round of comments was actually addressed. AI also surfaces new issues introduced by revisions so you do not trade one error for another.
Progress set workflow
Run checks at 50%, 90%, and 100% to catch coordination issues early, then validate fixes before final submission.
Learn the milestone approachPer-sheet pricing for small projects
Civil projects often start small. A handful of road or stormwater sheets should not require enterprise pricing. Per-sheet pricing keeps the cost proportional to project size, and each upload is priced based on the sheets submitted in that round.
Predictable costs
Pay per sheet for each upload so small projects stay affordable and large projects remain transparent.

Fast turnaround for council deadlines
Civil reviews are time-sensitive. InspectMind delivers results in hours for smaller sets and within a day for larger ones, so your team can make changes before the next council meeting.
