Stop one issue from becoming many
A small mismatch in a typical unit, wall type, window, or detail can repeat across floors and buildings.
Residential plan review
Catch repeatable issues before they repeat in the field
Groundbook AI cross-checks residential unit types, assemblies, schedules, systems, specifications, and project criteria so teams can investigate issues before they multiply across the building.
- Multifamily
- Single-family homes
- ADUs
- Senior living
- Mixed-use
- Renovations
Pay as you go. Project reviews start at $100.
AI plan review for residential projects is a first-pass check of multifamily, single-family, ADU, senior-living, and mixed-use document sets that cross-checks unit types, assemblies, schedules, and building systems against specifications, accessibility checklists, owner requirements, and building codes, including those governments publish online. Groundbook AI returns possible repeated-unit inconsistencies and coordination gaps with the exact sheet and location.
Compare unit typesFollow layouts, dimensions, doors, finishes, fixtures, and equipment across repeated units.
Check assembliesReview rated, acoustic, exterior, waterproofing, and structural relationships.
Coordinate compact systemsSurface possible routing, shaft, access, clearance, and equipment conflicts.
Built for residential projects
A broader first pass across the documents that define the project
Use Groundbook AI at a design, permit, bid, construction, or turnover milestone to investigate possible issues while the team can still resolve them.
Track assembly requirements
Acoustic, thermal, waterproofing, fire-resistance, accessibility, and durability criteria span many documents.
Coordinate within tight layouts
Residential units, corridors, ceilings, shafts, and amenity spaces leave little room for system conflicts.
What Groundbook AI checks
Review criteria shaped around residential work
Choose the documents and checks that match the project. Groundbook AI returns structured findings with exact source references for qualified review.
Unit and room-type consistency
Compare typical and accessible units, dimensions, doors, windows, finishes, casework, fixtures, and appliances.
Envelope and assembly alignment
Review exterior wall, roof, waterproofing, acoustic, fire-rated, and structural assembly information.
MEP and life-safety coordination
Cross-check shafts, risers, equipment, panels, devices, clearances, ceilings, sprinklers, and rated construction.
Owner, accessibility, and code criteria
Apply residential standards, accessibility checklists, owner requirements, permit criteria, and building codes.
A simple review workflow
Fit more coverage into the review process you already have
Upload the project set
Add drawings, specifications, consultant documents, checklists, and owner criteria. We read the building codes and amendments that governments publish online. Licensed model codes, such as the I-Codes and NFPA, are used only where a license allows it, and you can upload a copy you're licensed to use.
Choose the checks
Select cross-file, drawing-to-spec, checklist, and building code comparisons that match the milestone.
Verify with the team
Open findings with their supporting evidence, confirm the issue, and route the right items for action.
AI-assisted, professional-led
Keep housing decisions with qualified professionals
Groundbook AI provides an evidence-backed first pass. Responsible professionals retain decisions about design, engineering, accessibility, building codes, life safety, and construction.
- Evidence linked to every possible finding
- Severity, discipline, impact, and recommended action
- Results typically ready in 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on project size

Questions, answered
What residential teams ask
Can Groundbook AI compare typical unit types across the set?
Yes. It can compare related unit plans, enlarged plans, schedules, elevations, details, specifications, and requirements for possible inconsistencies.
Does it work for single-family homes and ADUs?
Yes. The workflow can review projects of different sizes, including homes, ADUs, renovations, multifamily buildings, and mixed-use developments.
Can it review accessibility requirements?
Yes. We read the accessibility codes and rules that governments publish online, such as the ADA Standards, and teams can upload accessibility checklists for comparison. Licensed standards, such as ICC A117.1, are used only where a license allows it. Qualified professionals and authorities remain responsible for compliance decisions.
Does this help with California AB 253 private plan review?
Yes, as the first pass. AB 253 lets applicants for eligible 1-to-10-unit residential projects retain a qualified private plan reviewer when the city's plan check passes 30 business days. Groundbook AI is the review tool a provider, design team, or building department can use to screen the set; it is not the licensed provider. Read the AB 253 guide.
