Meet Lauren.
Lauren is PlanApprove’s digitally assisted compliance assistant. She answers questions about building plans and the municipal process, reads your documents and gives your plan a first-pass review.
A digitally assisted first pass — not the final word.
Answers questions
Ask about the building plan, compliance or the municipal submission process at any time, on any page.
Reads documents
Drawings sheet by sheet, and the property details from the title deed, zoning certificate and SG diagram.
Checks the plan
Against SANS 10400, the municipal by-laws and zoning scheme, and the estate’s rules — then lists what needs attention.
An illustration of the kind of question Lauren answers — not a real project.
Lauren’s review is a fast, useful early read — not yet a substitute for professional sign-off.
You perform the final check on every submission until Lauren’s first-pass accuracy reaches full consistency with your own review. At that point the balance will be revisited openly.
This is a living capability. As her accuracy improves, this page will say exactly where things stand.
