Expedite
the process and increase your plan review accuracy
"This software takes
the previously tedious plan review task for commercial
construction and makes it almost enjoyable!
Inputs are intuitive and the output is straight
forward and contains only the information needed
and selected by the plan reviewer. For those
design professionals who complain about the amount
of time a municipality takes for plan reviews,
get this software and you can email the data file
to your government plan reviewer, expedite
the process and increase your plan review accuracy.
Great product and great support."

A
great tool for building code analysis
"A great
tool for building code analysis. I have used Commercial
Building Inspector on projects now and
have found the product to be very efficient. High
quality detailed and summary reports are provided
at the end of each project review. These
reports provide detailed information on code requirements
similar to that found in professional code analysis reports."

75%
time Saving
"I
want to thank you for letting me use your program
for a month before having to purchase it. This gave
me the opportunity of giving the program a good
working trial. It not only speeds up
the review but all plans will be reviewed by exactly
the same procedure leaving less chance for error.
All mathematical calculations and specific
research is done for you by the program. I
have just finished a project that would normally
take two and one half days and it only took two
and one half hours. On an average I would say that
I should be able to do my commercial plans reviews
in 25 % of the regular time. After using the
program I still need to refer to the state amendments
and do the plumbing, and mechanical reviews.
This should help me keep up to the large load of
commercial plans that are coming in. I find
the program very user friendly. It asks for
two or three basic things and then it reviews them.
It repeats this process until the complete plan
has been reviewed. When it has taken you through
all of the steps it will then give you a basic report
or a comprehensive report. You do not even
need a code book as any references that you need
are shown to you and with a simple click the print
is on your screen. It makes many more decisions
than most of us do when doing a plan review.
A designer could really take advantage of this program
as you can always back up if the design does not
work and try a different approach. If designers
had this program and submitted the report with the
drawings it would speed our review time up."

PROVEN TO BE A USEFUL
TOOL IN OUR OFFICE
"Commercial
Building Inspector® has proven
to be a useful tool in our office. We have been
used to using hard copies of codes throughout
the past and have enjoyed using this software
application. At first it seems a little
"different". After working on
a few projects, the software really is as efficient
time wise. In effect, you can also print
a full report after conducting an initial search.
The report can be used as a checklist for items
you may want to investigate further or remove
from the list as irrelevant. The software
has proven itself accurate thus far and has in
fact educated us on a couple of code issues different
from SBC."

Better
understanding of the IBC
"The software has really
helped us perform reviews quicker and because the
software is standardized, we are getting more consistent
reviews. It has probably saved at least 50% in review
time. We had recently hired some new reviewers (because
the former ones retired) and having the software
cut their training time drastically. We have even
had design professionals and contractors sit in
for their reviews so we sort of train them on the
job so they can get a better understanding of the
IBC and the code differences for future submittals.
We recently changed from the SBC to the IBC and
the software made the transition of the different
codes real easy. So far the software has worked
fine and we have not had any problems."

Major
breakthrough for Architects and Engineers
"I have had the pleasure
of reviewing your computer program covering the
2000 / 2003 International Building Code. As a
professional Civil Engineer involved in designing
commercial buildings I want you to know that I
consider this program to be a major breakthrough
for Architects and Engineers as well as planners
and Designers. It reduces individual interpretation
of the code to a uniform standard. Built into
this program is the input and consensus of the
City's Plan Reviewers thus assuring that plan
reviews are uniform, consistent and accurate.
Very simply stated, when this program is used,
my plan had the advantage of having been reviewed
by all plan reviewers. I consider your program
to be an essential tool for all Plan Reviewers"

One
Man Operation
"As you know I am a "one
man operation" here in the City of Denham Springs.
Not only do I have to do all plan review but also
inspections, flood plain, condemnations, and various
other duties that are involved in the department.
The use of cbi has helped me tremendously.
I recently had to review a set of plans for a two
story 11,000 sq ft bank and office building. Because
I have to start and stop so much during a review
this would normally take me the better part of a
week to accomplish the review, this without writing
a letter. The software enabled me to get the
review done in about 6 hours, including the writing
of the letter. Before I did not have the means
or time to even try to generate a review letter.
cbi software has been an asset to me. With
the construction that we have in the future I know
it is going to be well worth the investment."
