Enhancing Efficiency in Building Plan Reviews with AI, Customized Checklists and Precise UDO References
Building Sense transforms the building plan review process for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) firms and municipal building plan reviewers by integrating AI-driven technology with customized checklists derived from individual Unified Development Ordinances (UDOs). This approach combines precise analysis, specific citations, and deep user insights to ensure compliance efficiently and accurately.
Optimized Workflow for AEC Firms
Take Emma from Skyline Engineering Solutions, who ensures her client AutoFast meets the exact requirements of local UDOs using Building Sense. Here’s how the system optimizes her workflow:
Setup and Project Organization: Emma creates her account, adds AutoFast as a client, and organizes projects by each town’s specific UDOs.
Document Access and Management: She uploads necessary UDOs and building plans, with the platform providing easy access and a user-friendly interface.
AI-Enhanced Compliance Checks: Building Sense leverages AI to conduct compliance reviews, automatically categorizing each item as compliant, non-compliant, needs review, or closed.
