Why ArchAI

Two jobs every NI project starts with — in one workspace.

Signpost the rules early

Surface the policies and building-reg requirements that apply to a specific project before design decisions are locked in — not after.

See what's happening nearby

Search and monitor live planning applications on the official register — decisions, documents and key dates — without living in the portal.

One council context

Pick a council once and both products focus on it: its development plan, its guidance, and its live applications.
