Plan Analyst
About Plan Analyst
Plan Analyst software is designed to help users generate accurate code studies, plan checks, and correction reports based on the requirements of the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) published by the International Code Council (ICC).
Plan Analyst is a form-driven software that prompts building officials, architects, and designers to enter information about a building at the end of which a code study or plan check is automatically generated. The process helps ensure that a building complies with the code requirements. If the code study/plan review shows non-compliance the user can quickly rectify the issue and rerun the compliance report.

Building Code Professional testimonial
Reviewed on 2021/02/11
I do plans examination and building code enforcement for a living and I recommend it.
I do plans examination and building code enforcement for a living and I recommend it.
Pros
“I currently do plans examination for several jurisdictions and design professionals here in Oklahoma on a regular basis. I am also the current sitting CBO on the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission. I started using Plan Analyst back in 2009 and purchased the 2012 & 2015. Naturally, the user should have a working knowledge of the codes to enjoy the full benefit, but I am pleased with the program in that it provides me with a handy checklist of items I might otherwise miss.”
Cons
There were a couple of "glitches" in previous versions (code references mostly).

This version is an update to our ongoing subscription to Plan Analyst. The update allows us to present our plans for municipal approval using the most recently adopted IBC in our production drawings and calculations.
Pros
Plan Analyst allows you to enter the profile dimensions for your sign components, shape, height etc and determine the support steel/wood upright(s) and footing spec's that will meet 2018 IBC for review/approval by building code enforcement staff at your local municipality.
You can iterate to configure the needed support steel & footing dimensions to meet code and work with your design and local installation conditions to help you achieve budget & material/efficiency targets.
Cons
The appearance of the on-screen interface is the epitome of utilitarian, so you know this software was not designed for entertainment purposes.

This is a critical part of our estimation process. We use the tool to estimate the costs involved in the structural footings of pylon and monument signs. In cases where we need stamped engineering, we can send the reports along with calculations to the engineer.
Pros
This is an easy to use tool for calculating the required foundation and steel size for freestanding sign types.
Cons
The 2018 version has many improvements. Only augured foundations are supported, would like to see support for spread foundations added.
