Upload drawings and get issues tied directly to code

Upload drawings for AI analysis against your project’s jurisdiction and code year. Plan Review flags issues linked to code sections with suggested updates and automatically cross-checks plans against project specifications.

Cover different disciplines

Review across architectural, structural, and MEP documentation

Most coordination errors live in the gaps between disciplines. Plan Review analyzes the full set, so issues that arise between specialties get caught before they turn into RFIs in the field.

Resolve together

Triage, assign, and resolve in one place

Filter issues by severity, category, or status. Comment on findings, assign owners, and track each issue, from "needs review" to "resolved," without leaving UpCodes. When something needs interpretation, ask UpCodes’ AI Copilot right from inside the issue.

Track revisions

Re-check every revision without losing history

Upload a new version of your drawings and re-run the review to confirm fixes. Each revision is named, dated, and preserved, letting you see what’s been fixed, what’s changed, what's outstanding, and what's been verified across the life of the project.

How it works

How Plan Review moves drawings from upload to verified

Plan Review runs inside UpCodes Projects. Each review inherits the project's jurisdiction, code year, and building type, so every check runs against the same locally adopted codes your team is already using.

Upload your drawings and choose how to run the analysis: a general code review, or a checklist-based review using your firm's QA/QC templates. Plan Review uses your project parameters to focus on the requirements that apply, narrowing the review to what matters.

Plan Review returns issues organized by severity and category, each linked to the relevant page in the drawings and the governing code section. Discrepancies between plans and specifications are also flagged, allowing you to filter, comment, assign owners, change status, and ask UpCodes Copilot for clarification, all inside your project. Discussion and decisions stay tied to the issue they came from.

Upload a new revision to confirm fixes and track outstanding items across versions. Export a report when you're ready to share findings internally, with consultants, or with the AHJ. The history of what's been resolved and verified stays intact.

Plan Review analyzes your plans against your specs and against 11M+ sections of locally adopted codes. When issues arise, they are tied to enforceable requirements for your project's jurisdiction and code year, with direct citations to the governing sections. This helps reviewers verify compliance against the codes that actually apply, with a clear audit trail back to the source.

Plan Review reviews architectural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, structural, fire protection, life safety, accessibility, and energy/sustainability drawings within a single project, so coordination issues across specialties surface in one place.

No. UpCodes does not use your drawings, specs, conversations, or any uploaded content to train models. Your project content stays yours.

Plan Review catches building code errors that can be verified directly from the drawings and specs, including egress widths, fire-resistance ratings, accessibility dimensions, and items covered by your firm's checklists.

Absolutely. Upload your existing checklist and run reviews against it. Plan Review returns issues tied to your checklist items, so the review reflects the standards your firm has developed.

Yes. Export a report of issues, statuses, and comments to share outside UpCodes. For internal collaboration within the UpCodes platform (e.g., assigning issues, creating and resolving comments, etc.), an audit trail keeps everything organized.
