How to use
📋 Best practices
  • Upload the highest-resolution version of your drawing — 150 DPI minimum for PDFs
  • Fill in project type, zone, and occupancy fields for more accurate results
  • Add context notes — e.g. "2-storey SFD, corner lot, SD/CO symbols shown as filled purple circles"
  • Upload the legend sheet alongside the floor plan for better symbol recognition
  • Upload multiple sheets at once (utilities plan + floor plan) for a complete review
⚠ Important disclaimer
  • These tools provide a first-pass AI review only — not a substitute for professional code review
  • Always verify findings against the current OBC and applicable bylaws before permit submission
  • Confirm zoning issues with Kingston Planning Services: 613-546-4291 ext. 3180
  • Results depend on drawing quality and completeness — unclear or low-res drawings reduce accuracy
