PREiQ Flagship Feature

PREiQ™. Don't wait for a plan reviewer to find the problem.

Drop in a plan set and PREiQ™ reads every sheet, then checks it three ways: against the Florida Building Code, against the local AHJ's own ordinances and amendments, and against eight years of what reviewers in that jurisdiction actually call out. It circles precisely where each issue lives on the drawing. Every submission gets a readiness score, not just a pile of comments.

How It Works

From plan set to readiness score in minutes.

PREiQ™ doesn't just spellcheck your submittal — it reads it the way an experienced reviewer would.

1

Upload Your Plan Set

Drop in your full submittal — architectural, structural, civil, MEP, and life safety sheets included.

2

PREiQ™ Reads Every Sheet

The Permit Readiness Engine cross-checks every page against the Florida Building Code and the specific AHJ's local amendments.

3

Issues Get Circled

Findings aren't buried in a comment letter — they're marked directly on the plan sheet where the problem actually lives.

4

Get a Readiness Score

Every submission is graded and severity-ranked, so you know exactly what to fix before you submit — not after a rejection.

Real Report, Real Project

This is an actual PREiQ™ report.

These screenshots come from a real PREiQ™ analysis of a commercial tenant improvement project — not a mockup. The engine read 21 pages across 4 files and found inconsistent occupant load figures, an unindexed structural reference, a project address that didn't match its stated jurisdiction, and equipment loads that exceeded the stated project scope — the kind of issues that generate review comments and cost weeks of resubmission time.

Every one of these was caught before the project was ever submitted.

Inside permitOS, PREiQ™ answers to Goldie — named for the Gold Standard expeditors whose review process taught it what a plan reviewer actually flags.

Severity-Ranked, Not Just Flagged

Not every issue is a blocker. PREiQ™ tells you which ones actually are.

Findings are triaged the way an experienced expeditor would prioritize them — so you fix what matters first.

Blocker Major Moderate Minor Advisory

Blockers are issues that will stop a plan reviewer cold. Advisories are worth knowing about but won't hold up your permit. PREiQ™ tells you which is which, instead of leaving you to guess.

Three Layers, Not One

A code library tells you what the code says. PREiQ™ tells you what this reviewer will say.

Most plan review comments are not code violations. They are local ordinances, jurisdiction-specific submittal requirements, and the things a particular department asks for every single time. A national code engine cannot see those, because they were never in the code to begin with.

📜

1. The code

The Florida Building Code and the referenced standards — NFPA, NEC, FBC Accessibility, the Energy Conservation Code — checked sheet by sheet against what is actually drawn.

🏭

2. The jurisdiction

Local amendments and ordinances on top of the code: a city's Engineering Standards Manual, its Land Development Code, impervious surface ratios, bufferyards, its own mandated file names and submittal forms.

👤

3. The reviewer

Eight years of Florida AHJ review data. What this department has actually flagged, on jobs like yours, over and over. Not what the code permits — what this reviewer calls out.

That third layer is not only data. Donn Sharpe, our Director of Special Projects, spent twelve years in permitting — including a stretch as a zoning supervisor for Orange County, the jurisdiction PREiQ™ knows best. He has read these comments from the other side of the desk.

The Corpus Behind It

In plan review, depth beats breadth.

PREiQ™ is not trained on permits everywhere. It is trained on the same Florida jurisdictions, the same departments, and the same named reviewers, filing after filing, since 2019. A national dataset a hundred times larger still knows nothing about what Orange County Fire flagged last week.

A competitor can license a code library. Nobody can license this. It only exists because somebody filed the permits, read every comment, and kept the correspondence — and it gets deeper every week.

Every Discipline, Not Just One

PREiQ™ checks the whole permit package.

The Permit Readiness Engine is built from real Florida review comments — not generic code language — across every discipline a permit package touches.

🏗️ Building & Structural

Code editions, product approvals, structural references, and sheet indexing gaps.

🔥 Fire & Life Safety

Fire department connections, hydrant spacing, fire flow calculations, and occupant load consistency.

🔧 Plumbing & Mechanical

Fixture counts, equipment loads, transfer air paths, and scope-of-work mismatches.

⚡ Electrical

Panel schedules, new equipment circuits, and loads that exceed the stated project scope.

🗺️ Site & Civil

Setbacks, flood zone compliance, drainage, and right-of-way utilization requirements.

📜 Zoning & Jurisdiction

Zoning district limits, jurisdiction mismatches, and local amendments specific to the AHJ.
