Archistar started as a property research and feasibility platform that helped developers, agents and investors analyse sites, planning controls and development potential. Over time it turned that same regulatory data layer into AI PreCheck, an automated plan review engine built on generative AI, computer vision and machine learning.
Today the platform is used by councils, certifiers and industry submitters. A design file is dropped onto the platform in PDF, CAD or BIM form and evaluated in 2D or 3D against a city's own codes and regulations, with results returned as a standardised pass/fail report. Municipalities including the County of Los Angeles and the City of Austin have reported permit review time reductions of around 50–55% and first-submission quality of roughly 90%.
Archistar also publishes the ADAPT Framework for digital permitting transformation and offers analytics dashboards that surface pass/fail trends and review bottlenecks. Pricing is demo-led: government and enterprise buyers book a demonstration, while industry and certifier users can access compliance-checking plans via subscription.
