Learning Plan Review
Train new reviewers faster on the work that actually matters.
Junior reviewers learn by doing, but only if they have a check that catches what experience would catch. Mason gives them a floor to learn from and a citation for every flag.
Onboarding
Where junior reviewers lose time.
The barrier is not effort. It is the gap between knowing a code book exists and knowing which section governs a given drawing.
Years to Full Independence
It can take years for plan reviewers to become fully independent, earn the ICC certifications they need, and ultimately obtain a PE license.
Senior Time Is the Real Cost
The time junior reviewers spend learning is time you're allocating a senior plan checker to develop them. The faster they learn, the less of a senior reviewer's time is consumed.
Scalable Learning Unlocks Hiring
With more scalable learning, you can hire more junior plan checkers, including new college grads, with confidence they'll reach proficiency.
Teaching tool
Built as a teaching tool, not just a review tool.
Every Mason flag is a teaching moment. The citation explains the why, not just the what.
Surfaces What Juniors Do Not Yet Recognize
The UI surfaces code violations that junior reviewers may not yet recognize, simply because they aren't fully familiar with the building code.
QA/QC on Every Junior Review
Enables QA/QC on every plan a new college grad reviews, catching what they missed and ensuring every fire and life safety issue is identified.
Consistency Across Reviewers
Drives greater consistency across junior reviewers, reducing the risk of municipal complaints when comments shift during a resubmittal.
Consistent Comment Language
