PlanChecker AI Debuts to Streamline Building Code Compliance for Developers Nationwide

PlanChecker AI Launches to Automate Real Estate Development Compliance

PlanChecker AI, a new startup based in Los Angeles, introduces a platform that automates the review of architectural plans to detect building code violations. Co-founded by real estate developer Matthew Raanan and software engineer Justine Raanan, the company aims to remove common inefficiencies in construction permitting.

At its core, PlanChecker AI uses advanced artificial intelligence to deliver instant and accurate plan checks at scale. Supported by Scopus Ventures, the platform targets outdated review processes that often cause delays and added costs in the industry.

Addressing Industry Challenges Through Automation

Matthew Raanan brings firsthand experience as a licensed contractor and developer, having dealt with constant frustrations in the compliance review process. “The delays and inconsistencies have enormous costs, yet the industry seemed resigned to accepting them,” he notes.

Justine Raanan, with expertise in AI and systems architecture, identified the problem as one of data automation rather than just construction. “AI is uniquely positioned to solve this,” she says.

Together, they built PlanChecker AI to eliminate bottlenecks, improve accuracy, and introduce intelligence early in construction development.

Comprehensive Code Coverage Across the U.S.

Unlike most platforms that focus on local jurisdictions, PlanChecker AI supports building codes from all 50 states. This broad dataset allows developers and architects to work seamlessly across regions without encountering conflicting compliance requirements.

Whether projects are in Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, or Dallas, PlanChecker AI flags potential violations and provides real-time feedback. This reduces the weeks or months traditionally spent on plan reviews to just hours, speeding up approvals and project timelines.

Backing and Expansion Plans

Scopus Ventures invested in PlanChecker AI due to the company’s ability to address a significant market need with a strong leadership team. A spokesperson said, “Matthew’s industry expertise combined with Justine’s technical skills represents the type of leadership we support.”

With this backing, PlanChecker AI is expanding its engineering team and onboarding new partners in architecture and development. The platform will initially launch in California, known for strict regulations, before expanding nationwide.

Vision for the Future

Matthew Raanan states, “Our vision is to become the essential infrastructure for plan review across the United States. We want to equip developers, architects, and building departments with tools for fast, accurate, and transparent approvals.”

Justine adds, “Every city deserves consistent plan approvals, and every builder should know expectations well before construction begins.”

By combining domain expertise, AI technology, and strong investor support, PlanChecker AI aims to reshape how real estate development handles compliance—from blueprint to build.
