Earlier visibility
Review plan issues before formal submission.
Platform overview
What is PlanSmart AI?
PlanSmart AI is a software platform developed by 2Build AI that helps contractors, architects, and developers identify issues in building plans before they are submitted to the city.
Many construction delays begin long before work starts on site. Plans are submitted, comments come back, revisions are made, and the same review loop repeats. PlanSmart AI helps teams catch common issues earlier so that cycle is shorter and easier to manage.
Cleaner submittals
Reduce avoidable gaps and inconsistencies.
Fewer review loops
Spend less time revising after comments arrive.
How it works
Plan review before the city review begins
PlanSmart AI is used upstream of formal permitting, when teams still have time to clean up documentation and coordination issues.
Instead of waiting for a city reviewer to identify problems, teams can use PlanSmart AI to review plans before submission and address common issues early.
The output is structured findings that help teams focus revisions, clarify documentation, and submit with a stronger plan set.
- Review plans before submission
- Flag common documentation and coordination issues
- Re-run analysis after updates
- Submit through the normal approval process
Project impact
What this means for your projects
The main value is operational: more complete plan sets, fewer surprises, and a smoother path into review.
Reduce revisions after submission
Address likely review comments before the first filing instead of after they return from the city.
Minimize back-and-forth
Give project teams a clearer list of issues to resolve before they enter the approval queue.
Improve plan quality
Strengthen documentation consistency, coordination, and readiness across the plan set.
Shorten approval drag
Cleaner submissions help teams move through approvals with less rework and less schedule uncertainty.
Clarity
2Build AI and PlanSmart AI are related, but they are not the same thing
2Build AI is the company behind the product. PlanSmart AI is the product used to review and improve building plans before submission.
2Build AI
- The company developing the software
- Owns the product, brand, and delivery model
- Supports implementation and customer guidance
PlanSmart AI
- The software product used before submission
- Focused on plan review, coordination, and readiness
- Designed for contractors, architects, and developers
That distinction matters because buyers need to understand both who built the platform and what the product is specifically designed to do.
