Set4 Code Comments is a product for helping plan reviewers review drawings faster, more thoroughly and more easily.
Users put in PDF plans and get suggestions for AI comments, based on building, trade and energy codes adopted by their municipalities.
Code Comments helps jurisdictions to:
Comments are created on PDF plans uploaded by users. We can also setup integrations to your permitting software. We can connect to most major permitting systems (Accela, Tyler, Trimble, OpenGov, BS&A, etc) to make your plan review workflows easier.
See our full guide on how to use Code Comments. In general, though, it’s important to use the AI properly in your process.
We recommend that you first start by looking at the drawing without using AI, and only entering the AI review phase later. Reviewers must check AI’s work, and understanding the drawing is necessary to do this.
Secondly, reviewers are likely to need to speak with applicants about the plan later, and without good knowledge of the drawings, this is hard.
Yes, but not perfectly.
In set4’s research, we have found that AI can predict around 80-90% of the comments left by plan reviewers in jurisdictions.
Each jurisdiction does read the code differently. Set4 offers an AI training service where we train AI on your historic comments, and ensure the AI is better at reading the code like your team.
