Frequently Asked Questions

We offer architectural drafting revolutionized with advanced technology, modern workflows and professional rhuman drafters.
How does AI improve the CAD drafting process?

ArchBuild AI combines artificial intelligence with experienced human drafting professionals to dramatically accelerate the creation of permit-ready drawings and technical documentation. Modern AI models are highly effective at analyzing building codes, zoning requirements, and construction standards because these materials are typically published in structured digital formats.

Our proprietary workflows help identify the most relevant code sections for a project and generate highly detailed drafting instructions, checklists, and documentation guidance for our production team. This allows us to reduce turnaround times, improve consistency and minimize common drafting errors while maintaining professional human oversight throughout the process.

Why use human drafters at all?

While AI tools are powerful, they are not yet capable of independently producing fully coordinated, submission-ready construction documents that meet the practical requirements of real-world permitting and construction.

Human expertise remains essential for:
• Interpreting complex project conditions
• Coordinating architectural intent
• Verifying measurements and constructabilityEnsuring code compliance
• Performing quality assurance reviews
• Producing editable industry-standard CAD and BIM files

We believe our hybrid AI + human workflow delivers the best balance of speed, cost-efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy available today.

Who owns the copyright to the architectural plans?

You do. Unlike many traditional architecture and drafting firms, ArchBuild AI provides clients with full ownership rights to the final drawings, models, and deliverables created specifically for their project.

Clients are free to use and modify the final project materials for their own projects without ongoing licensing restrictions from ArchBuild AI.

What industries do you support?

ArchBuild AI supports a wide range of industries and project types, including:
• Architecture and design firms
• Residential construction
• Commercial construction
• Tenant improvements
• Manufacturing and industrial facilities
• Solar energy and renewable energy projects
• Real estate development
• Interior design
• Engineering support teams
• Property owners and developers
• Retail and hospitality spaces

Our workflows can be adapted to both small-scale and large-scale projects across many sectors.

Are unlimited revisions really included?

Yes. We offer unlimited revisions for the duration of the active project to help ensure the final drawings accurately reflect your project requirements and permitting needs.

Our goal is to act as a long-term drafting partner rather than charging incremental fees for routine revisions and updates during the normal course of the project.

How do I know my project will be completed accurately?

Accuracy is one of the core advantages of our hybrid workflow. Every project combines:
• AI-assisted code and documentation analysis
• Experienced human drafting professionals
• Multi-stage quality assurance review processes
• Cross-checking of plans and technical details

We also work collaboratively with clients, contractors, architects, and engineers throughout the drafting and permitting process to help identify and resolve issues early.

While no drafting process can guarantee a completely error-free project, our systems are designed to maximize accuracy, consistency, and responsiveness from concept through final inspection support.

Do you help with the permitting process?

Yes. ArchBuild AI can prepare comprehensive permit plan sets and supporting documentation for submission to local building departments and permitting agencies.

Depending on project requirements, permit packages may include:
• Existing and proposed floor plans
• Site plans
• Elevations and sections
• Door and window schedules
• General construction notes
• ADA and accessibility notes
• Title 24 and energy documentation coordination
• Structural coordination support
• Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing coordination

Permit approval requirements vary by jurisdiction, and some projects may require review or stamping by licensed professionals.

Do you offer site measurement and as-built documentation?

Yes. For an additional fee, we can coordinate professional site visits to capture:
• Measurements
• Photos
• Videos
• Existing conditions documentation

'This information is then used to create accurate as-built drawings and digital models that serve as the foundation for renovation, permitting, and construction projects.

Availability may vary by location.

Do you offer architect or structural engineer stamps?

Yes. Where required, we can help connect clients with licensed architects and structural engineers in the appropriate state or jurisdiction for additional review, engineering, or professional stamping services.

These licensed professionals independently evaluate the project and assume responsibility for the portions of the work they approve or stamp in accordance with local laws and professional licensing requirements.

Additional fees apply for licensed professional review and stamping services.
