SMARTreview is an automated code-compliance review platform for architects, building owners, and municipal plan review departments. Its core product, APR (Automated Plan Review), lets users upload BIM or design data, select a rulebook, and receive pass/fail results for each rule within seconds. Users can then generate a structured compliance report with AI Compliance Report based on the analysis results, ready to submit to the AHJ.
The product is not focused on general-purpose chatbot-style AI. Instead, its core workflow is “rulebook + automated review + AI report generation.” Rulebooks can represent building codes, municipal standards, or internal company requirements. The materials mention current support for BCBC 2024, with rule libraries such as IBC being expanded. AI is mainly used to draft permit-submission reports based on APR results and to assist with rule authoring. However, the company does not disclose the underlying model, accuracy metrics, human review process, or error-handling approach. As a result, it is better suited as a preliminary self-check and permit-preparation tool rather than a full replacement for professional plan review responsibility.
SMARTreview uses a clear per-project pricing model: $250 per project, paid once, with no subscription and no seat-based licensing. The license includes APR, unlimited analyses throughout the project lifecycle, AI compliance report generation, and PDF export. Account creation is free and does not require a credit card; payment is only required when activating a specific project license. The materials do not clearly state whether any full free review quota is available.
Its strengths are that the workflow closely matches real architectural practice, helping teams surface compliance issues early during design iterations and reduce rework at final submission. The per-project pricing is friendly for individual projects that require repeated reviews, and the team has backgrounds in building codes, BIM, municipal plan review, and university research. The limitations are also clear: the currently supported rulebooks appear limited, compatibility with specific design software plugins is not explained, and public information is lacking on APIs, file formats, privacy policy, and data usage. There is also no visible mention of a Chinese interface or support for Chinese building codes.
SMARTreview is best suited for North American architects, design firms, project owners, and municipal permitting departments, especially teams that need repeated compliance checks around BCBC 2024 or future IBC rulebooks. Chinese users should note two points: first, accessibility from China is unknown, and supported payment methods are not disclosed; second, there is no visible support for Chinese building codes, Chinese-language reports, or local AHJ workflows. For projects located in China, it is more likely to serve as a conceptual reference in the near term, while practical alternatives will still need to involve local BIM review, code-checking tools, or manual plan review services.
