Miniature desk with a typed corrections letter, an envelope, and a green approved stamp — a resubmittal verified against the original letter.
For Cities
CrossBeam Corrections Response

Verify the resubmittal. Don't re-review it.

When the builder resubmits, CrossBeam compares the new plan set to your original corrections letter — verifying each item was actually fixed, and flagging unrelated major changes — instead of forcing a from-scratch re-review.

Coming soon — for cities already reviewing with CrossBeam.

Who it's for

Plan checkers

Re-reviewing the entire set on every round — when your letter already says exactly what was supposed to change.

Building officials

Own the correction cycle and the consultant hours it burns, round after round, on fees that only covered the first pass.

The budget line

The one that pays $300–$625 in consultant time every re-review round — the Correction Tax, paid again at resubmittal.

The Correction Tax, paid again.

Every re-review round costs your department $300–$625 in consultant time at $150–$175/hr — and the applicant's original fee already covered the first pass. A verification pass against a known letter is a fraction of a from-scratch re-review. Every round you can verify instead of re-review is money the city keeps.

What it checks

Item by item, with evidence

Your letter said fix items 1 through 14; the resubmittal claims they did. Corrections Response goes item by item — each one comes back verified, partially addressed, or unresolved, with the evidence.

Verdicts that hold up

"Verified" means fixed on sheet A-201 — not "the note changed but the detail didn't." A partial fix comes back partially addressed, so it can't pass as done.

The check nobody has time for

Major revisions unrelated to your letter get flagged — the moved gas line nobody mentioned — so a quiet redesign doesn't slide through on a corrections round.

How it works

  1. 1

    The letter is already structured

    Your original corrections letter was issued through CrossBeam, so every item exists as a structured finding — not prose to reinterpret.

  2. 2

    The resubmittal comes in

    CrossBeam checks the new plan set against each item in the letter and flags major changes your letter never asked for.

  3. 3

    Your plan checker signs

    Every verdict arrives as a draft with evidence. Staff confirm, override, and sign — same as everywhere else in CrossBeam.

How It Fits — The CrossBeam System

Pre-Check drafts the letter; Corrections Response verifies the fixes. One engine holds both ends of the correction cycle — every item written, fixed, and verified in one record, so nothing gets lost between rounds.

AI Drafts, Humans Decide

Verification results are drafts for your plan checker, not verdicts. Staff confirm, override, and sign — same as everywhere else in CrossBeam.

One honest requirement

Corrections Response works when the original letter was issued through CrossBeam — the engine verifies against the letter's own structured findings. That's what makes verification possible instead of a second full review. If your city is already reviewing with CrossBeam, resubmittal checking comes with the loop.

Questions

Does it work if our original letter wasn't issued through CrossBeam?

No — and that's the honest requirement. The engine verifies against the letter's own structured findings, which is what makes verification possible instead of a second full review. If your city is already reviewing with CrossBeam, resubmittal checking comes with the loop.

What does a verdict actually look like?

Item by item: verified, partially addressed, or unresolved — each with evidence. "Verified" means fixed on the sheet, not a note that changed while the detail didn't. And the results are drafts: your plan checker confirms, overrides, and signs.

What if the builder changed something my letter never mentioned?

That's the check nobody has time for. Major revisions unrelated to your letter get flagged — the moved gas line nobody mentioned — so a quiet redesign doesn't slide through on a corrections round.
