Department-by-department code and ordinance review of a site or building set — planning, civil, fire, building and environmental — grounded in the adopted regulations of the jurisdiction reviewing it.
Why it matters
Most permit delay is a correction cycle that could have been caught earlier. Reviewing the set against the governing code first turns weeks of round-trips into a working list.
Planning, engineering, fire, building and environmental requirements are applied to the same drawings, so conflicts between departments surface together instead of sequentially.
Each finding points to where it appears in the set and the requirement it comes from — so a reviewer can defend it and a design team can fix it.
Capabilities
Reviews run against the regulations that actually govern: the adopted code editions, local amendments, zoning ordinance, overlays and specific plans for that jurisdiction — not a national baseline.
Use and density, setbacks and height, lot coverage, floor area, open space, landscaping, parking and loading, screening and site design standards.
Access and driveway geometry, frontage improvements, grading and drainage, stormwater management, utility layout and public-works standards.
Apparatus access and turning geometry, hydrant coverage and water supply, egress and exit discharge, occupancy separation and life-safety provisions.
Occupancy and construction type, allowable area and height, egress, accessibility, rated assemblies, energy provisions and the details that carry them.
Tree and habitat protection, sensitive lands and buffers, floodplain and stormwater quality, plus the environmental review triggers that apply to the project.
Project types with their own review layer are handled as such — healthcare and clinical facilities, ADUs and infill housing, hospitality, education, and other use-specific programs.
Every finding carries its code basis and its location in the set, with the reasoning shown, so it can be verified, discussed or overruled by a human — never a black-box verdict.
How it works
The governing code editions, local amendments and department requirements for that jurisdiction and project type are assembled first.
Site plans, building plans, civil, landscape and supporting reports go in as submitted. AutoSitu reads the drawings, schedules and notes.
Each department's requirements are applied to the set at once, with the evidence for each determination pulled from the drawings themselves.
Findings arrive organized by department with citations and sheet locations, ready to be redlined, exported into a correction letter, or worked through by the design team.
Coverage
Compliance review mirrors how a jurisdiction is actually organized — by department, and by the project types that get their own scrutiny.
