CodeComply.Ai helps modernize building plan review with AI-powered automation, driving economic development while maintaining review quality
MANHATTAN, Kan., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CivicPlus®, a public sector SaaS leader, today announced its latest partnership with CodeComply.Ai, the first AI-powered platform in the U.S. built specifically to accelerate plan reviews and assess compliance with building codes.
Building departments are under increasing pressure to review more complex plan submissions with limited staff while maintaining compliance accuracy and accelerating approvals. Yet many still rely on manual tools that create inefficiencies, fragmented collaboration, and costly delays, slowing economic development and straining both reviewers and submitters. With more than 83% of developers citing permitting delays as a major barrier to housing development, and jurisdictions facing staffing shortages as experienced code officials retire, scalable automation has become essential.
CodeComply.Ai transforms plan reviews with AI-powered compliance assessments, automated version comparison, centralized comment management, and pre-check assessment to streamline approvals and support economic development while maintaining review quality. Its powerful, automated decision-support tools enhance efficiency and consistency for qualified reviewers while preserving their professional authority and legal compliance determinations.
"Plan review has become too manual, too fragmented, and too slow to support the pace of modern development," said CivicPlus Senior Product Director Cari Tate. "By partnering with CodeComply.Ai we're giving communities a smarter, faster way to manage plan reviews, improving efficiency for staff and creating a more seamless experience for residents and businesses."
CodeComply.AI's plan review technology, including floor plan analysis against codes and standards, complements the CivicPlus Community Development solution, supporting compliance with IBC, IMC, IPC, IRC, ADA, FHA, UFC, State Amended Building Codes, and NFPA 101, 70, 72, 13, and 14*. The partnership helps local governments modernize and significantly accelerate the most time-intensive part of permitting and plan review by integrating AI-powered compliance checks into the workflows they already rely on.
"Partnering with CivicPlus expands our mission to empower local governments with intelligent, efficient solutions," said Patrick Hughes, President of CodeComply.Ai. "Embedding our AI-driven plan review into the Civic Impact Platform, which is trusted by thousands of agencies, enables us to help communities cut plan review times from months to minutes, reducing bottlenecks, promoting safety, and accelerating economic development and infrastructure projects."
