In this session, Dawn Takeuchi Apuna, Director of Honolulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP), will share how AI-powered copilots help staff complete plan reviews in as little as 15 minutes, and applicants submit an approvable permit application on their first try.
You’ll see a walkthrough of Honolulu’s AI plan review software, and learn how:
Permit applicants can pre-check their application for completeness and code compliance to increase the chances they’ll be approved on the first try.
Staff are able to get through reviews 70%+ faster with support from an AI-powered validation tool and access to all pre-check information, calculations, and code checks on one screen.
Newer reviewers can complete reviews faster with help from an AI copilot that provides clear, easy-to-follow guidance for every check.
You can apply Honolulu’s implementation and change management lessons to successfully implement AI plan review software in your community.
