Cut your first-cycle review time in half.
PlanPilot Reviewer drafts a corrections list on every incoming submittal before it reaches a plan checker's desk — grounded in your adopted code, your local amendments, and your department's policy bulletins. Reviewers accept, edit, or reject. The reviewer remains the authority.
Incoming submittals
6 submittals ready for review.
reduction in first-cycle review time in early pilots
fewer correction cycles per project once pre-screen is on
reviewers replaced — PlanPilot only drafts; humans approve
The reviewer workflow
From submittal to draft corrections, automatically
The reviewer's desk stays the same. PlanPilot just prepares the first pass before they get there.
Submittal arrives
Plans come in through your portal, counter, or email — connected via API or manual upload by intake staff.
PlanPilot pre-reviews
AI runs the full check against your adopted code + local amendments + policy bulletins, generating a draft corrections list with code citations and sheet references.
Reviewer accepts or edits
The plan checker opens the queue, sees the draft alongside the plans, and accepts, edits, or rejects each item. Their judgment is final.
Corrections letter goes out
The approved list exports as your department's standard correction letter format — same numbering, same tone, same template.
Built for the way your department already works
Every feature exists because a real plan checker or department director told us they needed it.
Intake pre-screening
Flag obviously incomplete packages — missing structural calcs, outdated code cycle, stale soils report — before they ever hit a reviewer.
Reviewer assist queue
Every reviewer sees a personal queue of pending submittals with PlanPilot's draft alongside the plans. Accept, edit, or reject inline.
Your policy bulletins
Upload your information bulletins, code amendments, and supplemental requirements. PlanPilot enforces them as if they were the base code.
Consistent comment language
Standardized correction templates with code citations mean first-cycle comments read the same across desks, districts, and shifts.
Throughput tracking
Supervisor dashboard shows submittals per reviewer, average turnaround, and which AI suggestions get accepted vs edited — the feedback loop your QA team needs.
Sheet-level highlighting
Each draft correction opens the sheet, highlights the issue in yellow, and cites the code section — so reviewers verify in seconds, not minutes.
Jurisdiction-locked
Your installation only enforces YOUR adopted code cycle and amendments. No cross-contamination from other cities' rule packs.
Bring your own correction format
Letters export in the format your department already uses — numbering scheme, header, sign-off block. No retraining your applicants.
Audit log on every action
Every AI suggestion, every reviewer edit, every accept/reject is logged with timestamp and user. Defensible review trail for every project.
Reviewer day, with and without PlanPilot
A typical Monday today
- Reviewer opens 14 new submittals in the queue
- Manually reads each plan set, flips between code books
- Drafts each correction by hand, looking up bulletin numbers
- Average ~3.5 hours per submittal at full attention
- Backlog grows; applicants wait 4–6 weeks for first response
A Monday with Reviewer Mode
- Reviewer opens the queue; each submittal already has a draft
- Sheets highlighted, code citations linked, items pre-numbered
- Reviewer focuses on judgment calls and edge cases
- Average ~1.5 hours per submittal — 2x the throughput
- Backlog shrinks; applicants see first response in days
Hit your housing element targets without hiring more plan checkers.
California cities are obligated to permit thousands of new units this RHNA cycle, while the reviewer talent pool keeps shrinking. PlanPilot Reviewer multiplies your existing team — every plan checker becomes effectively two reviewers without expanding headcount. The savings show up the same week you turn it on.
Same team, ~2x throughput
60-day Gov Code §66317 window stops being a stretch goal
First-cycle letter in days, not weeks
Less drudgery, more judgment work — the kind that retains talent
Government-ready from day one
We answer your IT and legal team's questions before they ask.
SSO with your IdP
SAML 2.0 + OIDC. Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace — bring your own identity provider.
Role-based access
Reviewer, supervisor, intake clerk, director, IT admin. Per-role permissions you control.
Full audit log
Every AI suggestion + every reviewer action logged with user, timestamp, and IP. Export to your SIEM.
US-only data residency
Submittal plans and AI processing stay in US data centers. No cross-border data movement.
SOC 2 ready
Working toward SOC 2 Type II. Security questionnaire on request. Pen-test reports under NDA.
Reviewer remains the authority
PlanPilot only drafts. Every correction in a letter has a human reviewer's accept on the audit log.
Pilot program
Start with one desk. Prove it. Then scale.
Pricing is per-jurisdiction with a fixed pilot fee — no per-submittal billing, no metered surprises. The pilot is scoped to one reviewer or one project type for 90 days. You see throughput numbers in the first two weeks.
Scoping call
30 minutes. We listen to your backlog and reviewer pain. No pitch deck.
90-day pilot
One reviewer, one project type. Fixed fee. Weekly check-ins. Pre/post throughput report.
Department rollout
If the numbers land, we expand to the full department on an annual contract.
The job isn't to get computers to approve plans. It's to give my reviewers their judgment time back so they can actually focus on the calls that matter.
