Clariti Acquires CivCheck to Accelerate Permit Approvals with AI

Clariti, the leading provider of community development solutions for governments of all sizes, has acquired CivCheck, the first AI plan review platform capable of supporting every check required for building permits and planning approvals. 

Purpose-built for local governments by experts in plan review and AI, CivCheck has quickly emerged as a leader in the space thanks to its comprehensive review capabilities, 97%+ accuracy, and proven ability to help agencies reduce permit approval times by 80% or more. The guided AI platform is designed to augment rather than replace staff, with every AI interpretation reviewed and approved by staff for the most accurate and trustworthy results.

“This acquisition underscores our commitment to helping communities of all sizes accelerate housing development,” said Clariti Co-CEO Cyrus Symoom. “By investing in CivCheck and other AI tools on our roadmap, we’re helping agencies make the biggest impact on turnaround times with AI that enhances staff productivity at every step of the permitting process.”

Product Roadmap and Commitments

CivCheck will remain a flexible, standalone product that can easily be integrated with any permitting software or plan review solution, and will continue to be developed and enhanced long-term.

Over the next several years, Clariti will invest millions to grow CivCheck’s engineering, product, and customer-facing teams, eventually expanding AI-assisted capabilities across the entire permitting journey.

Integrations are planned for Clariti Enterprise (coming spring 2026), Launch, and other permitting software vendors, ensuring all agencies can benefit from CivCheck, no matter what permitting platform they use.

Current CivCheck customers will continue to receive the same level of support, with CivCheck points of contact and city partnerships remaining unchanged. Clariti will also continue to work closely with its valued plan review and AI plan check partners to maintain and enhance these integrations.

Building on Clariti’s Track Record of Innovation

The addition of CivCheck further strengthens Clariti’s position as the leader in the community development space, combining Clariti’s extensive experience working with cities and counties like Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Orange County, with one of the most innovative AI companies in govtech. 

"What makes this partnership so meaningful is our shared belief that governments deserve the same calibre of technology and support as the private sector,” said CivCheck Co-Founder Dheekshita Kumar. “Demand for our technology has never been greater, and with this added investment, we’ll not only be able to meet it, but redefine what’s possible by setting a new standard for how quickly and effectively governments can put AI to work - reducing permitting times and helping innovative communities across North America get more homes built, faster.”

Both companies share a mission to help governments better serve their communities with AI technology that helps staff do their work faster, and will maintain a strong focus on ethical AI development that keeps city staff involved. 

Beyond CivCheck, Clariti is also investing heavily in AI, with AI document generation and AI code compliance for inspections on the company's product roadmap.
