The Problem
Code review the old way is broken.
Every review round takes 3–5 business days. Each comment that comes back restarts the clock.
AHJ comments send the set back for another round. Weeks lost to issues that were on the sheets all along.
Each extra round adds consultant fees, often $5,000–$10,000 a review, plus holding costs while you wait.
The Old Way
You submit. Then you wait.
Every architect knows the feeling. Weeks perfecting the design. The drawings are done. Then you submit to a code consultant — and wait. And when the comments finally come back, there are dozens of items flagged. Some real, some not. Now you're back at the drawing board, your client is calling, and the project is delayed before it ever broke ground.
$8,500 later. 5 days lost. Project delayed.
The Better Way
There is a better way.
PermitPrep.AI eliminates that cycle entirely. Upload your drawings and get a professional compliance report before lunch — with the specific sheet, code section, and fix for every item.
20 minutes. $249/month. No surprises.

Sample Report

A real compliance review — Northfield Composites Renovation & Expansion, Harlow MA (names and address anonymized).
The A.002 'FIRST FLOOR - COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL' table lists ROUTE D at 115'-0". Route D is drawn in the new warehouse addition (S-1), which is new construction. The Chapter 10 note on the same sheet states the sprinklered common-path limit is 100'. Exemption check: Table 1006.2.1 allows 100 ft for sprinklered B, F…
Recommendation: Reduce the common path at Route D to 100'-0" or less. This can be done by adding an exit or exit-access door, or by relocating doors in the addition so two separate egress paths become available sooner. Revise the…
The A.002 APPLICABLE CODES block lists 'FIRE CODE - 2021 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE NOT AMENDED'. The IFC is also used as the compliance basis elsewhere on the sheet. The Chapter 4 note '413: COMBUSTIBLE STORAGE SHALL COMPLY WITH THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE' relies on it. The MAQ table footnote takes its 100% increase…
Recommendation: Revise A.002 Applicable Codes to 527 CMR 1.00, the Massachusetts Comprehensive Fire Safety Code (NFPA 1 2021). Re-cite the MAQ cabinet/safety-can increase and the combustible-storage notes to NFPA 1 Chapter 60 / NFPA…
Panel PP6 on E.703 is 225 A MLO, 208Y/120 V, 3-phase, 4-wire, with 'Supply From: PLP3 VIA T5'. The Dry Type Transformer Copper Schedule on E.702 lists T5 (75 kVA) with a 208 V secondary overcurrent device of '250A-3P' and a secondary feeder of 4#250KCMIL & 1#4G - 2-1/2"C. Schedule note 4 places that device either in…
Recommendation: Show a secondary overcurrent device rated 225 A or less on the E.702 one-line and transformer schedule. Either revise PP6 to a 225 A main-breaker panel, or provide a 225 A individually mounted breaker within 10 ft of…

Built by someone who understands the problem
I have been in and around commercial construction my entire career. The one thing that never made sense to me was why catching a code issue takes two weeks and costs thousands — when it could be caught in 20 minutes.
Permit delays cost the construction industry billions every year and most of them are preventable. I built PermitPrep.AI to change that — putting the power of a professional code review in your hands before you ever walk into a building department. Not to replace the expertise of licensed professionals, but to make every architect, engineer, and contractor on the project team smarter before submission day.

Each report states whether amendment data was applied for its jurisdiction. Tribal land detection with tribe-specific codes where published.
