Conflation Labs

Architects and landscape architects lose days to a process that should take minutes: checking whether a site plan actually complies with local zoning codes, setback requirements, overlay restrictions, and municipal development standards.

The current workflow is broken.

Your team submits a plan. The planning department reviews it — days or weeks later — and sends back redlines for issues that could have been caught on day one. Setbacks are off. A use isn't permitted in that zone. An overlay district adds restrictions nobody flagged. The design goes back. The timeline slips. The client asks questions.

Conflation Labs is the AI site plan review agent that catches those issues before submittal.

HOW IT WORKS:

Upload your site plan or enter the project address. Conflation Labs cross-references your drawings against the jurisdiction's actual zoning code, parcel data, GIS layers, and development standards — not a generic database. The AI identifies compliance gaps, flags setback violations, checks permitted uses, and surfaces overlay restrictions that apply to your specific site.

You get a clear, actionable compliance report — with visual map output — before the plan ever reaches a planning counter.

WHAT IT REVIEWS:

→ Setback compliance (front, rear, side — including corner lot variations)
→ Zoning designation and permitted use confirmation
→ Overlay district restrictions (historic, flood, design review zones)
→ FAR, lot coverage, and building envelope standards
→ Parking minimums and access requirements
→ Conditional use permit triggers

KEY OUTCOMES FOR AEC FIRMS:

→ Catch plan rejections before they happen — not after
→ Reduce costly redesigns triggered by late-stage compliance surprises
→ Cut site plan QC time from days to under an hour
→ Give project managers and QC leads instant compliance confidence
→ Respond faster to client feasibility questions with authoritative answers

BUILT FOR:

- Architecture and landscape architecture firms in pre-design and design development
- QC leads and project managers reviewing drawings before submittal
- Firm principals who want faster, more defensible compliance decisions
- Cities and planning departments streamlining their own plan review intake
