Over two years, Architect United developed PRIO—a proprietary software that automatically analyzes building plans for errors, code conflicts, and design inconsistencies, then delivers the correct solution within a single submission.

This eliminates the traditional submit-wait-correct-resubmit cycle, achieving a 65%–94% reduction in revisions and enabling our team to deliver approval-ready plans 2x faster than competing firms.

For clients, this means shorter timelines, lower soft costs, and accuracy that virtually eliminates costly construction-phase surprises.

Key Advantages of PRIO

• Start Building Faster — Dramatic revision reduction cutting plan revisions by 65%–94%, most projects achieve approval on the second submission instead of the industry-average three to five rounds. 

• First-Submission Accuracy — PRIO catches errors and provides the correct solution instantly, so architects submit right the first time rather than waiting for reviewer feedback.

• Lower Project Costs — Reduced permitting delays, and significantly lower carrying costs for developers and owners.

• Faster Permitting & Approvals — Clean, error-free plan sets move through municipal review faster, shaving weeks off the permitting process.

• Reduced Construction-Phase Change Orders — Plans that are right from the start translate to fewer field conflicts, RFIs, and expensive mid-build corrections.

• Architect Empowerment, Not Replacement — PRIO handles error detection so our design team can focus on client collaboration and high-value problem-solving.

• Proprietary & Exclusive — PRIO is built and owned by Architect United—it's not available to the public, giving our clients a structural advantage in speed and quality.
