LOS ANGELES, CA – 26/12/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – PlanChecker AI has introduced a new chapter in construction technology with the public release of its Interactive Plan Chat, a conversational, AI-driven tool that allows users to analyze building plans instantly and in plain language. Designed for universal access, the feature enables anyone—from homeowners and first-time permit applicants to seasoned architects and contractors—to upload plans and receive real-time insights without requiring enterprise accounts, prior approvals, or specialized training.
The launch represents a significant shift in how construction documents are reviewed and understood. By combining advanced GPT-based conversational intelligence with deep plan-reading capabilities, PlanChecker AI delivers expertise traditionally limited to municipal reviewers and technical specialists directly to end users.
A New Standard for Understanding and Reviewing Building Plans
Once access is activated, users can upload a wide range of documents, including PDFs, blueprint images, multi-sheet drawing sets, and complete architectural packages. The platform automatically parses and categorizes plan elements, including architectural layouts, structural components, MEP systems, elevations, sections, annotations, fire and egress diagrams, zoning references, and site plans.
Through a conversational interface, users can ask natural-language questions such as whether stair dimensions meet code requirements, if layouts comply with accessibility standards, or whether zoning conflicts exist. The system responds instantly with clear explanations, code references, validation results, and simplified interpretations, turning technical documentation into actionable guidance.
Designed for Both Professionals and First-Time Users
Interactive Plan Chat was developed to eliminate guesswork, reduce revision cycles, and improve clarity well before plans reach municipal review. The tool supports early-stage validation, explains code relevance in accessible terms, breaks down dimensions and material specifications, and evaluates feasibility to help users understand whether designs are practical and approvable.
From small residential remodels to complex commercial or multi-family developments, the platform offers a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional manual plan reviews, while also supporting on-site construction teams with real-time verification capabilities.
Backed by a Broader AI Compliance Ecosystem
The new conversational feature is supported by PlanChecker AI’s wider suite of compliance and construction technologies. These include AI-powered multi-discipline code reviews, real-time plan verification using mobile devices, monitoring for unauthorized alterations, automated material takeoffs and cost analysis, and recommendations for sustainability and disaster resilience based on jurisdictional requirements.
By automating and digitizing processes typically handled by Building & Safety departments, the platform also helps municipalities streamline workflows and accelerate approvals.
Leadership Perspective
According to PlanChecker AI CEO Matthew Raanan, the release reflects a broader mission to make advanced plan review tools accessible beyond institutional users.
“Plan review has traditionally been complex, opaque, and intimidating,” Raanan said. “Interactive Plan Chat removes those barriers and gives everyone access to the same intelligent insights—quickly, accurately, and at a fraction of the traditional cost.”
Looking Ahead: Public Tools Rolling Out in 2025
Interactive Plan Chat marks the first of several public-facing features planned for release over the coming year. Upcoming capabilities include automated end-to-end compliance reviews, AI-generated corrections and redlining, drone-enabled site mapping, robotic jobsite verification, 3D visualization with augmented reality overlays, and auto-generated code reports designed to speed municipal processing.
Together, these developments align with PlanChecker AI’s long-term objective: safer buildings, reduced waste, fewer delays, and significantly faster permit approvals.
Serving the Entire Construction Ecosystem
PlanChecker AI currently works with architecture and engineering firms, contractors, developers, municipal agencies, surveyors, insurers, and construction-focused enterprises. With Interactive Plan Chat now open to the public, these stakeholders—and the broader community—gain a shared, accessible tool for early-stage clarity and informed decision-making.
