Lodgely works like a highly thorough pre-flight check — catching the issues that cause permit delays before your drawings ever leave your desk.
Submit your complete architectural drawing set as a PDF. For the most thorough review, include your site plan, floor plans, all elevations, and sections.
You don't need to label or annotate anything specially — our AI reads your drawings as-is.

Lodgely reads all uploaded documents directly — applying the exact current provisions to your review, not approximations. All documents are free to download from Victorian Government sources.
Within minutes, you receive a detailed report of every compliance issue detected — ranked by severity, with the specific regulation referenced and the location in your drawings identified.
Reports include suggested remediation notes so your draftsperson or designer knows exactly what needs to change.

Cl. 54.04-6 · Upper floor north window · within 9m of habitable room

Address the flagged issues in your drawings, then re-upload the revised set to confirm everything is resolved. You can run as many iterations as needed.
When your report comes back clean — or with only advisory notes — you can lodge with confidence.
