From Floor Plan to Permit Set—How AI Is Changing the Game
Getting a permit shouldn’t feel like a bottleneck. But for most architects and builders, it still does. You draw a plan. Then comes the wait—for redlines, for corrections, for engineering stamps. It’s slow, manual, and full of back-and-forth.

At Spacial, we’ve been through it. Our team of architects, engineers, and software leads built this platform because we lived the pain ourselves. We knew there had to be a smarter way.
Now there is.

How It Works:
Spacial turns a standard 2D floor plan into a permit-ready engineering set using a mix of AI and real-world expertise. Here’s what that process looks like:

Upload a Plan
Start with your 2D floor plan—PDF or CAD. No special formatting needed.
AI Runs the Checks
Our platform analyzes the layout, structure, and mechanicals against local codes. It flags issues, adds missing elements, and preps the file for engineering.
Engineers Finalize and Stamp
A licensed engineer—MEP or structural depending on the scope—reviews, adjusts, and stamps the set. Nothing leaves our platform unvetted.
You Get a Engineering Ready Set
Delivered in days, not weeks. Ready for submission, built to pass.

What Makes It Different
This isn’t “auto-permitting” or some generic CAD plug-in. Spacial is a full-stack system designed to replace weeks of guesswork with a clear path to stamped approval.

✅ Built on thousands of real permit sets
✅ Trained to catch code issues early
✅ Backed by real engineers, not just automation
✅ Tuned for how permitting actually works in the field

Why It Matters
Every day saved in permitting is a day closer to breaking ground. Spacial is built for the teams who don’t want surprises mid-project. It's for firms trying to do more with less. And it’s for builders who are tired of waiting on outdated workflows.

“Spacial turned around a stamped structural set fast, saving us weeks. The accuracy of the plans was spot-on and required no back-and-forth with city officials. Game changer.”
Alex M.
“The platform caught several structural conflicts before submission. We used to rely on manual markups. Now we get faster feedback and cleaner coordination.”
Rachel K.
“We had a structural engineering set delivered in 6 days—fully stamped. Zero comments from the plan checker. That speaks for itself.”
Thomas Y.
“The detail level in Spacial’s framing plan was excellent. Beams, joists, shear walls—all clear, all checked. Very impressed.”
Ali Sebt
“Spacial’s attention to detail and compliance validation has streamlined our permitting workflow. Structural and MEP packages that used to take a month now take one week.”
Maya P.
“Quick turnaround, responsive engineers that lets us keep control of design. Exactly what we needed.”
Erica N.
“The code flagging tool alone is worth using Spacial. No more relying on city redlines to catch issues after submission.”
John F.
“I was skeptical at first, but Spacial’s structural output was cleaner and more code-compliant than our previous consultants. It’s fast, but also reliable.”
Ethan M.
