SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

City building departments face overwhelming ADU permit submission volumes and understaffed plan review teams, leading to slow turnaround times and inconsistent compliance checks for residential accessory dwelling unit projects, with first-time rejection rates exceeding 90% for many California jurisdictions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Sheet-by-Sheet Plan Review: Reviews ADU plan sets against California state ADU law (Government Code § 66310-66342) and city-specific municipal codes, checking for missing signatures, incorrect code citations, incomplete forms, and code compliance gaps.
  • Draft Corrections Letter Generation: Produces a formatted, code-cited corrections letter for non-compliant submissions, with clear flags for items requiring human verification.
  • Use Case: Reduces first-pass plan review time for city staff from hours to minutes, freeing up plan checkers to focus on complex engineering and design reviews.

Quick Start

Invoke the demo-city-review skill by providing a path to an ADU plan PDF or directory of pre-extracted plan PNGs and the target California city name to generate a full compliance review and draft corrections letter.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate ADU permit review for California municipal codes?

To automate ADU permit review, submit a plan PDF or pre-extracted PNGs with the target California city name. The system identifies code compliance gaps across administrative, architectural, site, and fire safety requirements, generating structured findings with validated code citations.

Can I generate a corrections letter for non-compliant ADU building code submissions?

You can generate a formatted corrections letter for non-compliant ADU submissions by validating plan sets against municipal code requirements. The output draft includes specific code citations for administrative, architectural, site, and fire safety gaps, flagging items for human plan checker review.

Does automated plan check software work with California ADU compliance requirements?

Automated plan check software works with California ADU compliance by validating submissions against Government Code § 66310-66342 and local municipal codes. It checks administrative, architectural, site, and fire safety compliance for residential accessory dwelling unit plan sets.

What is the best way to reduce first-pass rejection rates for ADU permit submittals?

The best way to reduce first-pass rejection rates for ADU permit submittals is performing an automated sheet-by-sheet review prior to human plan checking. This identifies missing signatures, incorrect code citations, incomplete forms, and code compliance gaps before formal review.

How do I prepare ADU plan sets for automated city plan check review?

Preparing ADU plan sets for automated city plan check review requires providing a path to an ADU plan PDF or a directory of pre-extracted plan PNGs. You must also specify the target California city name to apply the correct municipal code requirements.

When should I not use automated building code review for ADU plans?

Automated building code review should not replace human plan checkers for complex engineering and design reviews. It serves as a first-pass compliance check for administrative, architectural, site, and fire safety requirements, explicitly flagging non-compliant items requiring human verification.
