What PlanSift does not do

PlanSift does not approve permits

Only the authority having jurisdiction can approve a permit. PlanSift produces readiness reports and decision-support workflows — not approvals.

PlanSift does not guarantee compliance

Readiness scores and issues are signals based on the data you provide. They are not a guarantee that a packet will be approved or that no issues remain.

PlanSift does not replace professional judgment

Architects, engineers, contractors, and reviewers remain accountable for their work. PlanSift surfaces patterns; humans make decisions.

PlanSift does not replace the authority having jurisdiction

Local code interpretation, zoning determinations, inspections, and approvals are the jurisdiction's responsibility.

PlanSift does not provide legal, architectural, engineering, or official municipal advice

Information in PlanSift is informational. For legally binding determinations, consult a licensed professional or the jurisdiction directly.

Our promise

AI-assisted. Source-linked. Human-led. PlanSift never approves permits or replaces official review. Every PlanSift workflow is built around that principle.
