Unit mix discrepancies, formula errors across repetitive floor plates, and fire compartment gaps do not surface cleanly in manual review. InspectMind AI reviews your full document set before permit submission and finds the issues that change your proforma, your financing, and your schedule.

"We had a project where we were short 3 units the owner thought they were getting. That's a lot of money." Unit schedule counts that conflict with floor plan counts, Revit smart table discrepancies, and building summary inconsistencies are the category of error that slips through manual review on large repetitive projects. A three-unit gap is not a drafting inconvenience. It changes investor commitments, financing assumptions, and the deal itself. Multifamily apartment plan review examines how these discrepancies compound across podium buildings, wood frame stacks, and mixed-use projects where floor counts are high and unit types repeat.
"One project used a multiplier of 4 per floor but 5 for total. The AI caught it. That would have been monumental." Building area increase formulas, gross versus net area conflicts, and fire compartment calculations contain this class of error. When a floor plate repeats eight or twelve times, a single wrong value multiplies. The result is a submitted area calculation that overstates or understates allowable building area, and the discrepancy surfaces at plan check or, worse, in the field.
Accessibility and fire separation are the two categories where multifamily developers face the most scrutiny and the most expensive field corrections. FHA Design Manual versus ANSI A117.1 requirements vary by state. Type A versus Type B unit distribution must be verified against adopted code. Fire compartment errors affect egress design, sprinkler design, and code compliance simultaneously. Errors in these categories do not generate plan check comments. They generate redesign.
InspectMind reviews the complete document set, cross-referencing unit counts, area calculations, accessibility requirements, and fire and life safety compliance simultaneously. Upload past RFIs from similar projects and the AI checks your new set against those known problem patterns, a feature multifamily developers use to carry lessons from a completed podium into the next one. Where manual QC depends on a reviewer knowing which sheet to compare against which, InspectMind runs every check against defined criteria across the full set, every time. Findings are returned with specific sheet references and applicable code sections so your team can locate and act on each issue without hunting.
The Architectural Checker cross-references unit schedules against floor plan counts, building summaries, and Revit smart table exports. Discrepancies are flagged with the specific sheets where the conflict exists. These are the cross-sheet inconsistencies that change proforma and investor documentation before a shovel touches the ground.
Plan Check verifies building area increase formulas, fire compartment calculations, gross versus net area conflicts, and allowable area per construction type against IBC height and area tables. The AHJ will check this math at permit. Running it before submission means your team resolves discrepancies on your schedule, not the AHJ's.
The ADA Compliance Checker checks FHA Design Manual requirements against ANSI A117.1 (state-specific), Type A versus Type B unit distribution, and common area accessibility. Lenders and investors run this compliance check before closing. Running it during design means findings are correctable in the drawings rather than in finished construction.
The Fire and Life Safety Checker reviews IBC height and area tables, construction type classifications, fire separation ratings, and egress calculations. Fire compartment errors affect egress, sprinkler design, and code compliance together. A gap at a podium-tower interface or a missed separation rating compounds across every discipline that depends on those boundaries.

Student Housing: 1,497 Issues on a Multi-Building Wood Frame Project|Compare AI plan check tools
5+ issues or full refund · No demo required
These reviews were run on real multifamily project documents by teams that wanted to know what was in their sets before the building department, the lender, or the framing crew did.
InspectMind reviewed a multi-building wood frame student housing project and identified 1,497 issues across the full document set. Placeholder text in Simpson hanger specifications was caught before procurement, a specification error that would have driven incorrect hardware orders across multiple buildings simultaneously. Catching it in the documents cost a fraction of what it would have cost in the field.
Read full case studyA 180-unit podium building review returned 203 issues. A fire separation gap at the podium-tower interface was identified before construction began. This class of error requires structural modification when discovered in the field. Finding it in the drawing set meant the design team resolved it before the condition was built.
Read full case studyA 96-unit Low-Income Housing Tax Credit project review identified 147 issues. A UFAS accessible unit count shortage was caught before investor review. Discovering that shortage after closing would have triggered compliance remediation across multiple finished units, a cost the project budget was not structured to absorb. A Florida developer who ran a review on a similar project put it directly: "All the MEP stuff seemed really spot-on. Cross-referencing DFUs with code requirements, the condensate line sizing, that's exactly the kind of checking we need. The area calculation error it caught would have been monumental. One issue like that pays for the entire review."
