Archistar, an Australian-based artificial intelligence (AI)-powered property platform, has launched a pilot program with the City of Austin designed to accelerate property assessment times for residents.
Archistar’s technology uses AI intelligence to assess planning rules and restrictions on land plots, creating rapid compliance checks that can be used to accelerate the design and building process. The pilot program now taking place in the Texas capital involves Archistar’s local team collaborating with city government and housing representatives to ensure alignment, before considering the potential for a large-scale roll-out.
“Archistar is proud to work with the City of Austin on an important initiative that has the potential to speed up the building plan review process associated with checking rigorous planning and zoning laws, while ensuring the highest building and design standards are maintained,” said Archistar Founder and CEO Dr. Ben Coorey. “Austin joins several other cities, such as Vancouver and Burlington, that are working with Archistar’s artificial intelligence to improve outcomes for residents. When it comes to property, there is so much to consider, from environmental considerations to flood controls and tree care requirements, so getting access to quality information early can make or break a development, and ultimately save time and money.”
