AI for Architects & Planning Professionals
ArchLens AI – AI Planning & Drawing Review Assistant for Architects
ArchLens AI is an intelligent assistant built for architects, designers and planning consultants. Upload a project, assess planning routes, flag risks, structure reports and move from design review to submission with more speed and consistency.
Planning Route Review
Check whether a proposal may suit permitted development, prior approval or full planning.
Drawing-Based Analysis
Review plans, elevations and project descriptions against policy logic and common officer concerns.
Professional Outputs
Generate structured reports for architects, homeowners, builders and internal teams.
Why Architects Use ArchLens AI
Architectural teams lose time on repetitive compliance review, fragmented guidance and inconsistent reporting.
ArchLens AI is designed to reduce friction across planning review, building regulations thinking, drawing analysis and report preparation so your team can focus more on design and delivery.
Too many manual checks
Teams often spend hours comparing proposals against policy notes, officer wording, prior approval rules, permitted development criteria and validation requirements.
Inconsistent outputs
Advice can vary depending on who reviews the project. ArchLens AI helps create a more repeatable review process and more consistent client-facing reports.
Slow early-stage decisions
Feasibility, risk spotting and route selection often slow down projects. ArchLens AI helps teams move faster at concept stage without losing structure.
