At Ichi, we’re on a mission to use AI and large language models (LLMs) to transform the way construction projects navigate permitting and code compliance. Our platform helps municipalities, plan examiners, and design professionals streamline plan review, improve consistency in code enforcement, and reduce permitting bottlenecks—ultimately accelerating construction timelines.
We believe that better processes aren't just about efficiency—it’s about building safer, resilient, and more accessible communities. With the construction industry representing at least $11 trillion globally and 4.3% of U.S. GDP, the impact of faster, more predictable construction code compliance is massive.
Ichi, a Japanese word meaning both city and one, signifies our singular focus to help drive a material improvement in the construction industry. Fueled by a relentless passion for innovation, we're expanding our team to help bring this vision to life.
Here is our recent webinar with high level concepts + a demo starting at minute 38.
