One Platform

AI that reads AEC work, not just chats about it.

Compliance Intelligence

Checks your drawings against San Francisco Planning and Building Code, section by section. Egress, height, seismic, accessibility, energy. Every flag carries its citation.

6 check categories

Archive Reasoning

Searches 20+ years of your proposals, reports, and project data. Permission-aware: people only see what they are cleared to see.

Permission-aware retrieval

Permit Routing

Predicts your review stations and likely addenda before you submit. Planning first? SFFD? PUC capacity? Know the route on day one.

Use Cases

Ten ways firms put wukanda to work.

Click, search, scan, and ask: the interactions below are live, and the data is grounded in San Francisco codes and real drawings.

Category 1 of 3

Design & Compliance

Automated checks on drawings, submittals, and models, from first sketch through the permit set.

USE CASE 01

Automated code compliance of drawings.

Upload a floor plan, a site plan, and your Form 3. wukanda checks them against 380+ San Francisco code sections and pins every finding on the sheet. Click a pin or a check row; every answer is cited.

Three of six findings are pinned on this sheet. The full check list runs on the right.

USE CASE 02

Automated drawing review.

QA/QC before the rework bill. wukanda sweeps the sheet against your firm standards and the reviewers' favorite rejection reasons, then pins what it finds.

wukanda / drawing-review / a-301-elevations.pdf
Ready to review
Architectural elevation drawing sheet under QA/QC review

a-301-elevations.pdf / checked against firm QA/QC standards + top San Francisco rejection reasons

These four issues mirror the most common San Francisco plan-review rejections: unlabeled dimensions, egress conflicts, missing scales, omitted structures. Each one caught here is a correction cycle (4 to 8 weeks) you never enter.

Run the review, then click a pin

Issues appear on the sheet as the sweep passes them.

USE CASE 03

Automated submittal review.

First-pass review without the afternoon. wukanda cross-references every submittal item against your drawings and specs, and tells you exactly where the package deviates.

USE CASE 06

AI for BIM and IFC models.

Takeoffs and coordination checks straight from the IFC file. No specialist seat, no export dance.

Atlas for Parcels

Every San Francisco parcel, zoned and checked.

Pick a parcel. See its zoning district, height limit, occupancy, and live compliance flags.

Know Your Route

Planning first? SFFD? PUC? We route it.

San Francisco review is sequential where it hurts: Planning clears before DBI even starts, and each correction cycle adds 4 to 8 weeks. wukanda maps your stations and clears the corrections before you submit.

wukanda / permit-route / form-3-site-permit

Estimated total review, new construction Form 3 site permit with 3 to 5 correction cycles.
