CivCheck’s Guided AI Plan Review™ platform uses AI to streamline and modernize municipal permitting by automating compliance checks, reducing review time and improving applicant experience.

Value Proposition

CivCheck accelerates permit approvals by automating complex code and zoning compliance checks, reducing backlog and improving consistency for both applicants and plan reviewers.

Our Goal
