Site Plan Review
A department-by-department review of your site plans against the full local land development code. Every finding cites the specific regulation behind it. Your engineers get actionable comments the same day — not six weeks later.
The site plan approval process is one of the biggest drivers of cost and inefficiency in construction. It drives up the cost of almost every commercial and multifamily project built in America.
Civil engineering firms spend 2-3 months creating a dense, 50-100 sheet plan set. The plans — and the regulations they are evaluated against — are both so complex that mistakes are nearly unavoidable.
Your engineers fire plans off to the city.
The city goes dark. Your engineers sit on their hands.
Pages of review comments arrive, organized by department.
Engineers spend weeks addressing comments and preparing a new plan set.
Back to step 1. Most projects do this 6-9 times.
Each cycle takes 2+ months. Multiply by 6-9 rounds and you reach the 12-18 month approval timelines the industry is familiar with. Every month, the carrying costs add up — and the project sits idle.
Noetic gets feedback to your engineers in hours instead of months. We’ve trained AI systems that read and understand site plans and have deep knowledge of each jurisdiction’s regulations.
Your engineers get comments on their first plan set the same day. We’ve independently validated with the City of Austin that Noetic catches 83% of the issues they catch. Because the cycles of fixing and resubmitting to Noetic are fast, your engineers can do several rounds until the plans are tight. When they submit to the city, they bypass half or more of the review cycles — because the city can focus on design issues and variances instead of correcting formatting and administrative problems.
Organized the way city staff think — drainage, transportation, zoning, environmental, fire, arborist — all in a single pass.
Every finding cites the specific regulation behind it — the code section, the threshold, the standard — not vague guidance.
Verifies your submittal package against the city's completeness requirements before you file. Catches the documentation issues that add 4-8 weeks.
Submit your plan set and get comments back in hours. Run multiple review cycles in the time it takes to get one round from the city.
12 review disciplines in one pass. Catches the interactions between departments that create cascading comments — drainage affecting tree preservation affecting compatibility.
Findings rated by impact — critical issues that will block approval, moderate items that need attention, and informational notes for context.
In independent validation with the City of Austin, Noetic identified 83% of the same issues as city reviewers — comments that could have been addressed before the first submission.
