By planners, for planners
First-pass plan review in minutes — every decision still made by your team.
Built by planners and land-use attorneys, planrev.ai checks development applications against your jurisdiction's adopted land development codes, flags violations with citations, and drafts the comment letter — a full first pass in about ten minutes instead of days.
Built by planners and land-use attorneys with nearly 50 years of experience across city government, state government, consulting, and development.
What your team gets back
A review report — and the comment letter, ready to send.
Every applicable code section is checked against every plan sheet. Findings come back grouped by category, each one citing the specific provision — flagged by confidence — and sorted by severity.
Your reviewer checks which findings belong in the comment letter and generates it in one click. Nothing is auto-approved or auto-denied; the call stays with your licensed staff.
Plan review report

Parking provided (20) exceeds the 18-space minimum. No action required.
Why departments use it
Capacity, consistency, and a cleaner record.
From weeks to minutes
A full first pass in about ten minutes, with the comment letter drafted automatically. Your team gets capacity back without adding headcount.
Consistent and defensible
Every sheet checked against every applicable section, each finding tied to the code and the submittal, facilitating a record that holds up.
Your codes, your jurisdiction
We build your code library against your adopted land development codes. It reviews to your rules — not a generic, one-size ruleset.
The reviewer stays in charge
Findings are surfaced with citations for your staff to review and decide. It augments professional judgment — it doesn't replace it.
How a pilot works
Low risk, by design.
No procurement lift, no commitment, and nothing in your live process changes. You simply get to see how it does on plans you already know.
We build your library
We load your jurisdiction's adopted codes into the engine. No work on your end.
Run it in parallel
It works alongside your current review on real submittals. Replaces no one; commits you to nothing.
Free introductory trial
A no-cost trial period so you can evaluate it properly, on your own plans.
See whether it agrees
Compare its findings to your reviewers' on applications you already know, and decide from there.
Who's behind it
Built by people who've sat on both sides of the counter.
Behind planrev.ai are planners and land-use attorneys with nearly 50 years of combined experience in local planning and law — across city government, state government, private consulting, and in-house development. We've been the reviewer, the applicant, and the consultant.
We built the second set of eyes we always wanted: one that knows the codes, respects the reviewer's judgment, and shows its work.
Shane Laakso, AICP
Shane brings 20 years in planning across Florida's State Land Planning Agency, local governments, private consulting, and development. Having reviewed from nearly every chair, he founded planrev.ai to build the tool he always wished planners had — one that speeds the first pass without taking the decision out of their hands.
Erin Deady, AICP, Esq.
Erin is a Florida land-use and environmental attorney with more than 28 years of experience, AICP-certified and a LEED AP. Through her firm she represents local governments and private clients on land use, environmental, water, energy, and climate matters — the regulatory terrain planrev.ai is built to navigate.
Built for responsible use
Aligned with the Florida League of Cities' guidance on AI.
planrev.ai is designed around the same principles the Florida League of Cities recommends for using AI in permitting: AI does the legwork, and your staff keep the authority.
Pre-screening, not approvals
It flags missing documents, basic code conflicts, and formatting issues before staff review — never standing in for the final decision.
Paired with human oversight
Every finding is decision support. Your staff retain responsibility for approvals and for interpreting the code.
Transparent with applicants
It stays clear about how AI is used in the process — and exactly what it does, and does not, decide.
Pilot before scaling
Start on a specific submittal type, prove it out on plans you already know, then expand on your terms.
Measured by real outcomes
Success is shorter review times, fewer resubmittals, and staff hours saved — not just the number of permits processed.
Be one of our first partner jurisdictions.
We're working with a small number of founding jurisdictions to put planrev.ai to work on real submittals. If that sounds like your department, we'd like to talk.
