Not where I really want to be
After several conferences with visits to AI Plan Check companies at their booths, the official marketing has begun.


I have soooooo many questions. The last time I spoke, the different vendors said that their system was limited in scope and still in the testing and design phase, but marketing was on full blast. This is a conversation we must have.

Does anyone have any direct experience with something like this? More to come.

It's been a while, but the stuff I had seen is garbage....I say when AI can design the building, then it will be able to review the plans....But they are hoping the municipalities will be the beta testers and seed money source and then the private sector will try to run us over with it...

In Florida, the private sector is gearing up to run all over the building departments.
 
"receive structured feedback—flagged issues, precise code citations and clear corrective actions—in hours, not weeks or months."

Clear corrective actions is more than many AHJs will do currently. Of the many reasons not to provide a clear corrective action is that there are often times more than one possibility.... sometimes there are several possible corrective actions for a given situation. Will the AI provide all of the possibilities? What happens if the corrective action that was provided is less attractive to the owner than one of the others.... but they didn't know about the other possibilities until it was too late to reverse course.

"Plans are automatically analyzed for compliance with the Florida Building Code (FBC) and National Electric Code (NEC)—with more jurisdictions coming soon."

What about residential code?

AI plan checking to the NEC is no small feat. Replacing a savant ???
