AI in Government Plan Review
AI plan review software has enormous potential to help public agencies manage growing workloads, reduce repetitive tasks, and accelerate reviews.But realizing that potential takes more than powerful technology. It requires trusted data, deep domain expertise, and an understanding of how government actually works.
Avolve brings those elements together. Our applied AI is grounded in more than 20 years of permissioned public agency data and integrated into the electronic plan review workflows government teams already use. Rather than replacing human expertise, Avolve AI helps expand it, giving professionals more time for the judgment, problem-solving, and decisions that matter most.
Avolve and AI
Avolve’s AI is powered exclusively by Microsoft, leveraging Azure OpenAI for enterprise-grade security, compliance, and trusted performance. Together, we’ve developed an intentional, human-centric AI foundation for plan review that takes an agentic approach to AI, beginning with automated checks and validation and advancing toward proactively supporting reviewers while keeping humans in control. This approach delivers purpose-built solutions that de-risk adoption and future-proof operations.

Avolve AI Submit
Catches submission errors before they become roadblocks
20-30% of submissions are still returned in the first review cycle due to basic errors for missing titles, sheet references, or other basics. Each rejection forces a resubmittal, which adds 1‑3 days before review even starts — delaying projects and draining staff time.
Avolve AI Submit is our first commercially available AI solution, that automatically flags common submission errors before applications reach review. The result: fewer resubmissions, faster review cycles, and more time for reviewers to focus on complex, high-value decisions.
