Noetic launches Austin pilot →

Faster diligence, faster site permits.

Noetic investigates any site against the actual local code in 24 hours, not the weeks a consultant needs. Then it reviews your plans before the city does, so the design conversation starts one or two comment rounds earlier and approval takes fewer cycles.

From your first question to final submission.

Noetic is fast at both ends. A full site investigation in 24 hours, and a full plan review in hours, so nothing waits on research or on the next round of city comments.

Measured, not promised.

Every result scored against an independent answer key: a civil firm's own feasibility memo, or the comment letter a city actually issued.

Every week spent waiting on research or on the city's next comment letter is a week the project is not moving.

$300K
Per Month

Every month of delay on a commercial project can cost as much as $300-500K in carrying costs. Speed is money.

Typical number of revisions before a site plan is approved.

200+
Hours

Engineering time lost to avoidable rework on each individual commercial project.

For Jurisdictions

Partnering with cities to modernize plan review.

Noetic is working with the City of Austin to automate completeness checks and compliance review — cutting weeks off the intake process while maintaining review quality. Separately, in a blind back-test against another city’s own comment letter, Noetic caught 90% of the comments that city went on to issue.

Your co-pilot from sketch to final submission.

Most tools wait until you're ready to submit. Noetic is useful from the moment you start. Research your site in 24 hours, before your first drawing. Catch discrepancies while your plans are still easy to change. Then run a full compliance review before you file — and get back, in hours, a report that tells you exactly what to fix, where to find it, and what the code says.

Site Intelligence

Pull zoning classifications, watershed boundaries, floodplain designations, and more before your first drawing. Start informed, not correcting.

Catch Discrepancies

Noetic flags conflicts between your plans and the public record while changes are still easy — not after you've built three sheets on a wrong assumption.

Fewer Cycles

Run a full compliance review before you submit and catch the issues that would have come back in round two, three, or four. Design conversations start rounds earlier.

Every issue comes with the exact code section behind it. No guesswork, no "let me check with the city," no ambiguity.

One-Pass Reviews

Drainage, transportation, arborist, environmental — Noetic covers them all in a single review, organized the way city staff actually think.
