Building Intelligence
AI for building, planning and permitting across thousands of jurisdictions.
Overview
Building Intelligence is civic AI for the built environment. Upload plans, understand local requirements, identify potential issues, and prepare a stronger permit submission — powered by AI grounded in authoritative building codes, planning regulations, property data, and local ordinances. Review is AI-assisted; human decisions remain with licensed professionals and the authority having jurisdiction.
The problem it solves
Building, planning and permitting requirements are spread across model codes, state adoptions, county rules, city ordinances and parcel-level conditions. Applicants and agency staff have to assemble that picture by hand for every project, and treating every city as a separate implementation makes it impossible to scale.
