    For Cities

    Clear the backlog.
    Don't lower the bar.

    AutoSitu performs the repeatable first-pass review across planning, building, fire, accessibility, civil and local requirements — so staff process more applications while expert judgment and final authority stay in human hands.

    The constraint

    Your reviewers are overloaded — not under-skilled.

    Repeatable checks consume the day

    Experienced staff spend hours on work that never needed them.

    Setbacks, dimensions, schedules, code requirements, completeness, cross-sheet inconsistencies and the same recurring comments take the time that harder decisions deserve.

    Hiring doesn't scale with volume

    You cannot recruit your way out of application volume.

    Experienced planners, engineers and plan reviewers are hard to recruit, slow to train and harder to retain — and volume does not wait for a requisition.

    Backlogs create more work

    A slow first review generates its own workload.

    Delayed comments produce applicant calls, incomplete resubmittals, escalations, inconsistent comments between reviewers, and pressure from leadership and the community.

    Leverage

    An AI first-pass reviewer for every submission.

    AutoSitu reads the plans and the applicable requirements in parallel, performs the repeatable checks, cites the source behind every finding, and sends reviewers the exceptions that require professional judgment. Staff remain the decision-maker — AutoSitu makes sure their time is spent where judgment matters.

    One review intelligence layer

    From intake to comment letter.

    01
    Intake & completeness

    Stop reviewing submittals that were never complete.

    Screen every application against your intake and preliminary review requirements, so missing sheets, forms and studies are identified at the counter instead of three weeks into a reviewer's queue.

    Repeatable first pass

    Let the routine checks run themselves.

    Setbacks, height, coverage, density, parking, dimensions, schedules, accessibility and cross-sheet consistency are checked against your adopted code and local amendments on every submittal, the same way every time.

    03
    Sourced findings

    Every finding carries the requirement behind it.

    Each item cites the adopted ordinance, code section or standard it comes from and the sheet it was found on — so a comment is defensible to the applicant, to leadership and on appeal.

    Reviewer judgment

    Staff spend their time on the hard calls.

    Reviewers receive prioritized exceptions rather than a raw set, apply their own judgment and authority, and issue comments in your department's language and format.

    Resubmittals

    Review the delta, not the whole set again.

    When a revised submittal arrives, see what actually changed, whether prior comments were addressed, and what remains open — which is where most repeat review time disappears.

    Value layers

    Value that reads the same at every level.

    Reviewer

    Less repetitive checking. More professional judgment.

    City leadership

    Faster, more predictable development approvals without lowering standards.

    The difference

    Same staff. More applications, reviewed consistently.

    Without AutoSitu
    • 01Reviewers hand-check the same routine requirements on every submittal.
    • 02Turnaround depends on who is available and what else is in the queue.
    • 03Comments vary between reviewers, and applicants notice.
    • 04Incomplete submittals consume review time before anyone catches them.
    With AutoSitu
    • 01The repeatable checks are already done when the reviewer opens the file.
    • 02Every submittal gets the same first pass, in the same order, every time.
    • 03Findings arrive cited to the adopted requirement they come from.
    • 04Completeness is screened at intake, before it costs reviewer hours.
