The first product from Bolder Labs

Permit plans. Sheets. Working drawings. Read in minutes.

Plan Reader goes through every sheet – pages, handwriting and stamps – and pins each finding to its exact place on the drawing. A fast first read. The decision stays with you.

Hundreds of pages, handwriting and stamps. What gets missed?

A single building or business-licence file can hold dozens of sheets, handwritten additions, stamps from different years and approvals that piled up over time. Manual review takes hours – and one missed detail can delay a permit, create a safety risk or come back as a late comment.

How it works

Three steps. One clear file.

  1. 1

    Upload the file

    Drag in a PDF or image – or several. You can also photograph a plan on site with your phone; it goes straight into the file and is processed.

  2. 2

    Plan Reader reads and checks

    Every part of the sheet is read and cross-checked: structure, areas, details, handwriting and stamps. The result: a sorted list of findings – needs fixing, to review, for information.

  3. 3

    You decide

    Click a finding and it lights up on the drawing. Open it at full resolution, add your notes and produce a full report in one click.

A fast first read. The decision stays with the professional.
