Key Takeaways

Catch Errors Before Permit

AI reviews every sheet and cross-references drawings, specs, and calcs to find issues that slip through manual review.

Hours, Not Weeks

Get a prioritized issue report the same day you upload. No more waiting weeks for peer review turnaround.

Multi-Code Compliance

Checks against IBC, IRC, ADA, NFPA, local amendments, and your own firm standards simultaneously.

Supplements Your QA Process

AI doesn't replace peer review — it catches the issues humans miss so your team can focus on engineering judgment.

Q&A Highlights

Common Questions From the Webinar

Does it work with both IRC and IBC codes?

Yes. InspectMind checks against both IRC and IBC, plus local code amendments. You can specify which codes apply to your project when you upload.

Do specs count toward page pricing?

No. Only drawing sheets count toward pricing. You can upload specs, calculations, and other reference documents at no additional cost — the more context, the better the review.

Can it handle 60% vs 100% issuance?

Yes. You can adjust the review depth based on your design stage. At 60% CDs, the AI focuses on coordination and major code issues. At 100%, it does a full compliance check.

What should I upload for my first check?

Upload your drawings, specs, and calculations. The more context you provide, the more thorough the review. Most teams start with a full drawing set plus the project manual.

Does it replace peer review?

No. AI plan checking supplements your existing QA process. It catches the issues that slip through manual review so your senior engineers can focus on engineering judgment and design decisions.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All files are encrypted on AWS infrastructure. Your documents are never used for public AI training. We support enterprise security requirements including SSO and access controls.
