What is AI plan checking?

AI plan checking uses artificial intelligence to automatically review construction drawings, specifications, and submittals for errors, coordination conflicts, and building code violations. InspectMind AI reviews architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings to catch costly mistakes before construction begins. Results are typically delivered in minutes—most jobs in minutes, big jobs in hours, with evidence and code references for every finding.

How much does AI plan checking cost?

InspectMind AI plan checking starts at $50 per check. Per-sheet pricing is approximately $1 per drawing sheet and $0.25 per specification sheet. For example, 125 drawings plus 1,200 spec sheets costs roughly $425. Volume commitments and enterprise pricing are available for high-frequency users. A money-back guarantee ensures 5+ issues found or a full refund.

What building codes does InspectMind check against?

InspectMind checks against IBC (International Building Code), CBC (California Building Code), FBC (Florida Building Code), ADA, Title 24, NFPA 13/20, FM Global, and custom codes. The platform is jurisdiction-agnostic—you can upload any state, city, or local code amendments as PDFs. International codes including Australian (DCP, LEP), Canadian, and UK codes are also supported.

How fast are AI plan check results?

Find issues in minutes. Most jobs complete in minutes; big jobs in hours. Every finding includes evidence—the specific drawing, code section, or spec reference—so your team can verify and act immediately.

Is my construction data safe with InspectMind?

Yes. InspectMind stores data in secure AWS cloud infrastructure. We don't train public AI or third-party models on your documents; we may use your documents to improve our own document-processing models, and you can opt out anytime at support@inspectmind.ai. Data is segregated from other customers, and only people you explicitly share with can access your projects. You can request full project data deletion at any time. NDAs are available for sensitive projects.

How does InspectMind compare to manual plan review?

InspectMind AI catches issues that often escape manual review—like missing exhaust fans, lighting on wrong sheets, and spec-drawing conflicts from copy-paste errors. With 430+ published case studies showing 14 to 2,664 issues per project, AI plan checking provides a comprehensive second set of eyes. It complements rather than replaces human judgment, with every finding backed by evidence.

What types of construction projects does InspectMind support?

InspectMind supports all construction project types: multifamily residential, commercial offices, healthcare facilities, K-12 schools, data centers, industrial/warehouse, retail, mixed-use, infrastructure/bridges, religious facilities, solar farms, tenant improvements, and more. The platform handles projects from small ADUs (14 issues) to large university buildings (2,664 issues).

Do I need a sales call to use InspectMind?

No. InspectMind is self-serve—upload your construction documents and pay online. No sales call, demo, or lengthy onboarding required. Pricing starts at $50 with a money-back guarantee (5+ issues or full refund). Enterprise and bulk pricing are available for teams running 50+ checks per year.

Frequently asked questions

Teams ask about turnaround time, data security, supported codes, and how AI plan checking compares to manual review. See answers on our FAQ page.

Who uses InspectMind AI

General contractors, architects, structural and MEP engineers, plan reviewers, and owners use InspectMind for QA/QC before permit submittal and before construction. Teams run checks at DD, CD, and IFC stages to reduce city plan check comments, RFIs, and rework.

Disciplines and building codes

InspectMind reviews architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection drawings together with specifications and submittals. Code libraries include IBC, CBC, FBC, ADA, NFPA, Title 24, and custom jurisdiction PDFs you upload.

Typical findings on construction drawings

Common issues include spec-drawing conflicts, undersized equipment, missing fire dampers, stair and egress errors, ADA clearance problems, coordination between civil and MEP inverts, and copy-paste mistakes across drawing sheets. Each finding links to the exact sheet and code section.

Pricing and turnaround

Plan checks start at $50 per run with per-sheet pricing for larger sets. Most projects complete the same day. A money-back guarantee applies when fewer than five meaningful issues are found.

Security and data handling

Documents are stored in secure cloud infrastructure with customer segregation. You can request deletion at any time. NDAs are available for sensitive projects.

Case studies and proof

InspectMind has published hundreds of case studies showing real issue counts on ADUs, schools, multifamily, healthcare, and commercial projects—from a dozen issues on small remodels to thousands on large campuses.

Integrations and workflow

Export findings to Excel, share a live dashboard with consultants, and assign issues by discipline. Teams re-run checks after each revision at the same per-sheet price. Procore and Autodesk integrations help route findings back into your project workflow.
