CivCheck
CivCheck is guided AI plan review software for building permits that helps applicants submit complete packages and helps agency staff complete code checks faster, now under Clariti following a 2025 acquisition.
CivCheck markets Guided AI Plan Review as software that walks applicants and reviewers through consistent plan checks instead of leaving every step to memory or ad hoc PDF markup. The public home page states it was the first guided plan review and code education platform aimed at faster permitting for both sides of the counter.
A CivCheck blog post dated October 7, 2025, announces Clariti???s acquisition and repeats performance claims such as more than ninety-seven percent accuracy on automated checks and more than eighty percent faster permit approvals for partner agencies. Treat those figures as vendor-supplied until you validate them with independent agency data.
The same marketing materials describe support across disciplines including zoning, building, fire, accessibility, plumbing, and structural reviews, plus licensing workflows such as liquor or public assembly when cities need them. Pricing language on the home page states the platform is free for city partners while applicants pay ComplyAI a prescreening fee on top of normal permit fees, which means budgets differ for public agencies versus private applicants.
CivCheck emphasizes reviewer oversight, with copy noting that staff review AI output before it becomes final. Integrations with other permitting stacks are discussed in acquisition materials as a roadmap item with Clariti???s suite, so confirm connector status for your jurisdiction before procurement.
