AI plan review by state
Find the official authorities and local codes that govern your review. Start with the project’s state, then confirm the city, county, and any specialty agency that reviews the work.
Before uploading
Identify the rules for the actual site
Confirm the authority
A state code office may publish the standards while a city, county, or specialty agency reviews the application. Establish each reviewer’s scope.
Record the code basis
Confirm the adopted edition, effective date, amendments, and project-specific conditions. A proposed update may not yet govern your permit.
Bring the evidence
Supply the current project documents. We read the amendments that governments publish online, and you can upload a code you’re licensed to use. Groundbook links potential findings to sources for professional verification; permit approval remains with the responsible authority.
