How PlanScanAI helps
Part M, BS 8300 and Equality Act compliance produces a dense compliance matrix: ramp gradients, accessible WC layouts, lift dimensions, hearing loops, visual contrast, tactile surfaces. PlanScanAI reads the drawings looking for every one of these, flags the dimensions and presents the findings in a report-ready format.
Pick ‘Accessibility’ as your trade, load the drawings, and run a Guided Scan. You’ll get back a structured list of accessibility-critical items with their drawing references — ready for your consultant’s review.
