Cold eyes that never blink — you keep the stamp

Request accessProduct brief

Hit request access and we’ll confirm immediately. We review city, AHJ, and firm requests with design partners, then send an invite when a batch opens — no charge while you’re evaluating.

Same plan-intelligence family as Estym8 — built for cities and AHJs that refuse to drown in incomplete sets.

One upload. Applicant or staff. No re-import chore. PlanM8 runs a cold-eyes pass: citation-backed draft findings, then wakes the right person.

You approve. You deny. You return. You issue. We never act automatically — we make your reviewers faster, sharper, and impossible to blindside.

Closed beta is open for design partners. Request access — claim your seat at the table.

The loop

  1. 1

    Drop the set

    Signed-in submitter uploads the plan set. Status snaps to Submitted. City rules decide who may upload — owner, architect, firm, or GC.

  2. 2

    Cold-eyes draft + notify

    PlanM8 hunts incompletes and drafts citation-backed findings, then notifies the right staff member (or applicant). No automatic approve, deny, return, or issue.

  3. 3

    Humans take the shot

    Staff approve, deny, return incomplete (with reason), sharpen findings, send to review, or record permit issued. Applicants resubmit when asked. Only humans change the official outcome.

  4. 4

    Everyone sees the truth

    After a human acts, the other side is notified (email + in-app; deep links later). Audit trail keeps system drafts separate from human decisions — crystal clear, bulletproof.

What you unlock

  • Direct upload by applicant or staff — the set lands once, where the work happens
  • Cold-eyes draft review with citation-backed findings — then notify the person who can act
  • Humans own every outcome: approve, deny, return incomplete, edit findings, issue
  • Status you can trust — and an audit trail that keeps drafts away from human decisions
  • Alerts when drafts are ready and when a human moves the package
  • Resubmittal back-check when original + comments + revised set are in play

Hard lines

  • Never automatically approve, deny, return, or issue — we draft and notify; humans act
  • Not a replacement for the city’s permit system of record — we accelerate the review layer
  • Not a workforce-reduction tool — we make reviewers more efficient and better at the job

What happens next

  • Request access with your city or firm email — confirmation instantly; invite when you’re approved (accounts stay gated in closed beta).
  • City staff accounts are always invite-only. Submitter signup stays gated until a city opens the door.
  • Inside the product: upload → cold-eyes draft + notify → humans act → status updates. No automatic outcomes. Ever.
  • Ask Clara anytime — she searches and explains. Signed in, she digs into your packages and findings. She never takes actions. That power stays yours.

One spine. Multiple products.

The same AI-first plan-reading engine powers distinct products for different buyers — takeoff, municipal review, design QA, ICT/BOD, and feasibility. Each is its own product with AI assist inside the workflow.

  • Estym8Closed betaBrief

    GC / estimator takeoff and estimate from plan sets and bid folders — including ROM/WAG screening and full bid-grade depth on the same spine.

  • BodiDiscovery

    ICT / low-voltage project brain → Basis of Design — sources and claims for security, AV, cabling, and Wi‑Fi scopes.

  • PlanM8Closed betaBrief

    Cold eyes that never blink for city / AHJ permit review — upload, draft, notify; humans approve/deny/issue; you keep the stamp.

  • CheckSetDiscovery

    Design agency / A/E firm pre-issue QA — coordination flags, checklist completeness, city-style checks before seal or submit.

  • FeasibilityDiscovery

    Architect / developer early site read — parcel, plat, and zoning toward a buildable envelope (working name).

Make the queue unfair

Closed beta for city / AHJ design partners and authorized submitters who want the queue to feel unfairly good. Request access — confirmation first, invite when a batch opens.

Access is by approval — request a seat, then read the product brief anytime (best for partner review).
