Get through plan check
the first time.
Run a CrossBeam Pre-Check before you submit. Get findings, plain-language action items written to hand straight to your architect or engineer, and a preview of the corrections letter the city would have sent. Fix it on your schedule — not the counter’s.
The Correction Cycle Is the Schedule Killer
Most plan sets come back with corrections. Each round costs weeks at the counter and change orders at your desk. And the letter itself is homework: item after item, each citing a different code section — CRC, CPC, CBC, ASCE 7-16, Title 24.
From Address to Approval
Four points in a project’s life. CrossBeam has a tool at each one. Keep scrolling — the timeline walks you through them.
Site research & feasibility.
CrossBeam ScoutBefore you draw a line, give CrossBeam Scout an address and what you want to build. It comes back with the map, the zoning, the codes and regulations that apply, and what a submittal will require — then seeds a real project straight from the conversation.

CrossBeam Pre-CheckBefore you submit, Pre-Check reads your full plan set and returns findings, questions, plain-language action items you can hand straight to your architect or engineer, and a Corrections Preview — the letter CrossBeam thinks the city will send you. Fix it before anyone official sees it.

What’s Covered Today
California-first. ADU coverage is the deepest — it’s where CrossBeam started and where the proof lives. But the engine reads plan sets generally: Huntington Beach coverage already spans 20+ permit types — reroofs, pools, solar, EV chargers, water heaters, panel upgrades, signs, fences, patio covers, repipes, and more.
CrossBeam reads your full plan set the way a plan checker does. It checks the drawings against California law and your local code. You get a list of findings pinned to the sheet, before you submit.
Missing sheets, missing notes, code conflicts, and items your city or county asks for on every submittal. Each finding cites the code section, points to the spot on the sheet, and says how to fix it in plain language.
You pay per review. Simple permits are $25. ADUs are $100. Single-family homes and residential remodels are $250. Multi-unit and commercial projects are $1,000. You see the price before you pay. Your first review is 50% off, once per company, on reviews up to $250.
CrossBeam is built on 480+ California city codes. It reviews permits with an architectural plan set: new homes, ADUs, additions, remodels, and multi-unit. Commercial tenant improvements are covered in some jurisdictions. Ask below about your city or county.
Yes. Upload the letter and your plans. CrossBeam pins each correction to its sheet and drafts a response letter you can hand to your architect or engineer.
No. The city still reviews your plans and makes the decision. CrossBeam helps you submit a cleaner set, so you get fewer correction rounds.
