AI is rapidly emerging in building permitting, but “AI-powered” can mean very different things. Some tools help applicants submit permit-ready plans, while others support reviewers by accelerating plan review without compromising code compliance. This session offers a practical look at today’s AI landscape through real-world examples—breaking down how these tools work, where they fit, and how to evaluate them for transparency, accuracy, and defensibility. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for assessing AI tools based on their department’s goals, staffing model, and compliance needs.

This webinar is brought to you by CivCheck, a Clariti Company, as part of CALBO’s Industry Spotlight series. This session provides educational insights into emerging tools and practices in building safety.
