How we deliver permit ready plans in 7 to 10 days
Speed without clarity creates rework. Clarity without speed stalls projects. Our approach balances both. Most projects reach permit ready in about 7 to 10 days. The range is driven mainly by meeting schedules and decision timing on the client and architect side, not by how long the software takes.
Why the timeline ranges
AI does its pass quickly. What adds time is aligning calendars, confirming choices, and closing the loop with the architect and owner. When decisions land fast, plans are often stamped near day 7. When coordination takes longer, the window extends toward day 10.
Day 1 onboarding and scope lock
We confirm scope, site constraints, and AHJ requirements. You share the current set. We set points of contact and schedule the working sessions so decisions can move without delays.
Day 2 AI generation
Our structural and MEP AI agents parse the set into object based models, size spans and reactions, calculate loads with Manual J and S, propose equipment, surface routing that protects ceiling height and keeps noise low, coordinate with the energy model to meet targets, and assemble draft sheets and schedules aligned to the jurisdiction checklist.
Days 3 to 6 reviews and coordination
Licensed structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers review the AI outputs together with our energy team. We meet with the architect and client to confirm choices, resolve any tradeoffs across structure, ducts, risers, lighting, and envelope, and capture decisions. Fast decisions here pull the schedule toward the 7 day mark.
Days 7 to 10 finalization and stamps
Engineers finalize details and cross references so submittals match AHJ expectations. Discipline leads complete targeted corrections and stamp the set. Energy documentation is finalized to match the package. Simple projects with quick approvals land near day 7. More complex coordination finishes by day 10.
Fast is fragile when teams work in sequence. Fast is reliable when AI generates on day 2 and engineers and architects coordinate quickly. That is how the 7 to 10 day target holds.
