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.

CrossBeam Corrections AnalysisCrossBeam Corrections Analysis reads the city’s letter against your plan set and annotates it page by page — fix this, on this sheet, because item 12 says so — then drafts a professional response letter, ready to send back.

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.
