Landchecker
Property data and planning zones/overlays for any Australian address.
Our verdict
Not really AI, but the quickest way to check zones and overlays before you quote a build or extension.
Best for: Builders and owner-builders checking a site before quoting
What it does
Landchecker is an Australian property data platform showing planning zones, overlays, title boundaries, sales history and property reports for an address. All plans include planning zones and overlays, and the Advanced plan adds more data layers.
AI features
- Not primarily AI. A property and planning data platform
Other compliance & permits tools
AEC Assistant
Ask the NCC a question and get the clause back, with cited answers and planning data for any address.
Verdict: One of the most useful free tools here. Way faster than digging through the NCC on your phone. It doesn't replace your certifier, and it says so.
Price: Free plan (NCC and legislation search with citations). Paid plans (Plus, Max): see site.
Archistar
AI property and design-compliance platform; its AI PreCheck checks plans against codes.
Verdict: More for developers, designers and councils than for tradies. Worth watching, since councils adopting AI pre-checks could speed up approvals.
Price: See site. Demo required.
UptoCode
AI checks your drawings and BIM models against the NCC and returns a cited pass/fail report.
Verdict: Useful for pre-submission checks before drawings go to the certifier. It's aimed more at designers and certifiers than at trades on the tools.
Price: See site.
