Check compliance and answer RFIs before the GC is back in the office.
City flags non-compliant egress width. In under 2 minutes, PermitSage pulls all egress paths, identifies the 36-inch corridor that requires 44, shows which wall to move, and drafts the formal response with the IBC section reference and sheet callout — ready to send.
Use cases
Run a compliance audit across every applicable code before you stamp
Before signing your name, run the plan set through PermitSage. The multi-agent system checks your design against IBC, NEC, and plumbing codes simultaneously — catching the egress width violation or missing fire rating callout before the city does. One correction cycle avoided is 3–6 weeks saved, and it's your professional license on the stamp.
Draft RFI responses in minutes, not hours
Field condition comes in from the GC. PermitSage finds the relevant drawing sheet, identifies the code implication, and drafts a formal RFI response citing the exact sheet number and code section. You review and sign — you don't start from scratch. An architect handling 5–10 open RFIs per project can clear the queue before lunch.
Respond to a full city comment letter in an afternoon
City sends 20+ plan review comments. PermitSage identifies the code section behind each one, locates the relevant sheet, determines whether the design is already compliant or needs revision, and drafts your formal response. Batch-processing an entire comment letter is the single highest-volume task for architects — and where PermitSage delivers the most time savings.
Check a design element against multiple codes in one query
Need to verify a corridor for egress (IBC), accessibility (ADA), fire rating, and energy compliance simultaneously? PermitSage's multi-agent system runs all four checks at once and returns a unified result. No more opening four code books and cross-referencing by hand.
