InspectMind AI reviews your permit set for code violations, spec-versus-drawing contradictions, and constructability issues before you submit. One issue found often pays for the check.
Trusted by developers and developer-contractors
Spec-versus-drawing contradictions, constructability issues, and code violations found in the field cost money in ways that are avoidable. Fixing them on paper, before permit, is far cheaper than fixing them once site work or construction has started. The same issue that takes a redline and a day to resolve during design can take a change order, a schedule impact, and a subcontractor dispute to resolve in the field.
An issue the city's plan checker will flag anyway is cheaper to find and fix yourself before submittal than to receive as a rejection that resets your schedule. Permit delays push your construction start, which puts pressure on your financing timeline and your pro forma assumptions. Running AI plan check before you submit is how you stop the AHJ from finding issues you could have found first.
Committing a budget and schedule to a permit set means committing to assumptions about what is fully coordinated. If those assumptions are wrong, the gap surfaces as cost and schedule risk after the budget is locked. Understanding the real complexity and risk in the documents before you commit protects the numbers your project is built on, and keeps your contingency for genuine unknowns rather than avoidable conflicts.
Upload your permit set and specs, confirm which building codes apply, and get a prioritized issue list with evidence for every finding. Typical turnaround is same day or next day for a 250-sheet set. Where a manual review depends on a person knowing what to look for, InspectMind checks the full document set systematically against defined criteria every time. Every finding is tied to a specific sheet reference and a code section or specification clause, so your architect or engineer can locate and resolve it without hunting.
The Constructability Checker surfaces buildability issues and risk factors before they are locked into your budget and schedule assumptions. Findings include access conflicts, sequencing problems, and details that cannot be built as drawn. Catching these before construction starts means resolving them at design cost rather than change order cost.
The Spec and Drawing Coordination Checker catches contradictions between what the specification says and what the drawing shows, before either one governs a field decision. When spec and drawing conflict, the contractor asks an RFI, the design team issues a clarification, and the schedule absorbs the delay. Finding those conflicts before submittal removes them from the field entirely.
The Plan Check Checker runs the same review the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) will run, before the AHJ runs it. Findings are cited to the applicable code section so your team can evaluate each one against local amendments before deciding how to resolve it. Projects that arrive at plan check with fewer issues spend less time in the review queue.
Share findings directly with your architect or engineer. They can comment on each issue, mark it resolved, and thumbs up or down each finding. Export to Excel with links back to every issue for your own tracking and resolution log.
Submit documents that are ready, not documents that come back with corrections. Upload your set to InspectMind and see what is in there before the AHJ does.
Upload your developers drawings. Eligible work emails get a first $100 covered ($100 credit). Results in hours.
“InspectMind caught 47 critical issues on our cold storage project: conflicts that would have cost us millions in field rework. It paid for itself on the first review.”
These reviews were run on real project document sets before submittal or construction commitment.
Aaron Bass, Director of Construction at Cold Summit Development, ran InspectMind on a cold storage project and found 47 issues before construction started. "InspectMind helped us catch real meaningful issues. Using it early in the process is going to absolutely help out in the field. It immediately caught real issues like wood vs HDPE blocking conflicts and specs vs drawings mismatches." Issues found at that stage cost a markup change to resolve, not a change order.
Read the case studyOn a large public development project, InspectMind identified 375 issues at the plan review stage across a multi-discipline document set. Finding that volume of issues before the documents were locked meant the project team could address coordination gaps, code conflicts, and spec-versus-drawing contradictions before they reached the field or the building department. Projects of this scale carry proportionally higher exposure to permit rejection and field rework when documents are not reviewed before submittal.
Read the case studyA complex multi-discipline development project yielded 43 issues before submittal, spanning coordination conflicts and code-related findings across the document set. For a project at that scale of complexity, each unresolved issue represents potential permit delay or field-stage rework. Catching 43 issues before the documents reached the AHJ or the contractor gave the project team time to resolve them on their own schedule.
