ArchIntel is the AI-powered planning submission intelligence platform for UK construction companies. Check site constraints, prepare application packages, and move confirmed projects to successful submission, all in one place.
The problem
Conservation areas, Article 4 directions, listed buildings, and flood zones each live in separate government databases, council websites, and mapping tools. Assembling them manually takes time teams don't have.
Incorrect or incomplete planning packages are a leading cause of validation failure. Teams often find out only after submission, costing weeks and increasing project risk.
For every project, teams rebuild the same knowledge from scratch: which route applies, which documents are required, which constraints affect the site. There is no structured workflow.
Without a structured constraint check and submission readiness review, risks like Article 4 restrictions or heritage sensitivity can be overlooked until late in the drawing stage.
The solution
ArchIntel combines property intelligence, site constraint data, planning guidance, document preparation, AI-generated reports, and team collaboration into a single structured workflow built specifically for UK construction professionals.
Unlike a generic AI chatbot, ArchIntel runs a controlled planning workflow with mandatory constraint checks, a rules engine failsafe, and AI-powered report generation. Every step is structured. Every constraint is checked. Every submission package is validated before you upload.
What ArchIntel brings together
Built to save review time
ArchIntel brings the early planning checks into one structured workflow, so your team can move from scattered information to a clearer first review faster.
Bring address data, site constraints, route indicators, and submission requirements into one place before deeper review begins.
Highlight incomplete project details, constraint risks, and likely submission gaps before they delay preparation.
Give architects, technicians, consultants, and project teams a clearer starting point without replacing qualified advice.
ArchIntel supports planning preparation and professional review. It does not replace qualified planning advice, architectural judgement, or local authority decisions.
Core features
Instant address lookup with UPRN retrieval, precise coordinates, and automatic local planning authority identification. The foundation of every project.
Automated checks against conservation areas, Article 4 directions, listed buildings, flood risk zones, green belt, and designated land. All from verified government data.
ArchIntel evaluates your project details and site constraints to determine the most appropriate planning route: Permitted Development, householder application, or further review.
A structured assessment of how ready a project is for planning preparation, based on available data, identified constraints, and required inputs.
Before submission, ArchIntel scores the completeness of your planning package, flagging missing documents, unresolved risks, and required supporting statements.
A dynamic, project-specific checklist based on your project type, property, local authority, and planning route. Updates automatically as project details change.
Ask planning questions in plain language and get structured, site-specific guidance, not generic answers. Backed by constraint data, rules engine outputs, and planning context.
Generate planning feasibility, preparation, and submission-readiness reports with structured outputs covering constraints, risks, route analysis, missing information, and recommended next steps.
Company accounts, team members, roles, and shared projects, so your whole planning team works from the same structured information without rebuilding it project by project.
How It Works
Every project follows the same controlled planning workflow. Required steps cannot be skipped, and every constraint is verified before a recommendation is made.
Add your project type, description, and initial details. ArchIntel uses this to structure the planning workflow from the start.
Precise address lookup with automatic UPRN retrieval, coordinates, and local planning authority identification.
Confirm dimensions, building type, extension position, and other planning-relevant details. ArchIntel flags missing inputs before proceeding.
ArchIntel automatically checks conservation areas, Article 4 directions, listed buildings, flood risk, and other site-specific constraints using verified government data.
The rules engine validates the project data, and ArchIntel generates a planning feasibility and preparation report, including route analysis, risk summary, and recommended next steps.
Review your dynamic submission checklist, identify missing documents, and use ArchIntel's guidance to prepare a complete, well-structured planning package before upload.
Built for
ArchIntel is not aimed at homeowners. It is built for the professionals who manage, prepare, and submit planning applications as part of their daily work.
Manage planning preparation across your project portfolio. Reduce the time spent on manual constraint checks and document assembly.
Start every project from a structured planning position. Understand constraints and route options before detailed drawings begin.
Verify planning requirements and generate submission checklists. Reduce the risk of missing documents or invalid planning packages.
Run structured site constraint analyses and generate client-ready planning feasibility reports, faster and with consistent quality.
Track project planning status across your team. Shared workspaces keep everyone working from the same up-to-date project information.

FAQ
ArchIntel is built for UK construction professionals: architects, architectural technicians, planning consultants, planning coordinators, and construction company teams who regularly manage planning applications. It is not aimed at homeowners or members of the public.
No. ArchIntel is a professional SaaS platform with no free tier at launch. All plans are paid subscriptions. This allows us to maintain reliable access to government planning APIs, site constraint data, and AI capabilities that underpin the platform.
No. ArchIntel helps your team prepare, check, and structure planning application packages, but it does not submit applications on your behalf. Submission is done by your team through the relevant local planning authority portal.
No. ArchIntel supports the planning preparation workflow. It does not replace the professional judgement of a qualified planning consultant, architect, or local authority officer. Complex or sensitive planning cases may still require specialist professional input.
ArchIntel sources constraint data from the UK Government's Planning Data API and Environment Agency datasets. This includes conservation areas, Article 4 directions, listed buildings, flood risk zones, and other designated land designations. Data is sourced from verified government sources but should always be confirmed before submission.
Yes. ArchIntel supports company accounts, team members, role-based access, and shared projects. Your whole planning team can work from the same structured project information, without rebuilding it for every new instruction.
