MasonMost of the volume. Most of the repetition. The first place Mason pays for itself.
Residential reviews are high volume and pattern dense. Mason drafts the first pass against the full California residential code stack so reviewers refine instead of starting from blank.
Where residential review eats the day.
The work is not hard. There is just a lot of it, and every set repeats the same dozen checks.
Volume Burns the Hours
Single family permits stack faster than reviewers can clear them. Most of the time goes to checks you have done a thousand times.
The Same Checks Every Time
Setback, stairs, glazing, smoke alarms, attic ventilation. The same code sections come up on almost every residential set.
Junior Reviewers Need a Floor
New reviewers learn fast on residential work, but only if they have a checklist that catches what experience would catch.
Built for the residential workflow.
Mason is tuned for the codes and the rhythm of residential plan review.
Drafts the Repetitive Checks
Setback, height, glazing, stairs, attic ventilation, smoke and CO alarms. Mason runs the full residential checklist before your reviewer opens the file.
Reads the Actual Dimensions
Mason reads the dimension lines and callouts on the plan, not just the sheet index. The check is on what the plan actually shows.
California Residential Code, Embedded
Every flagged item links to the CRC section it cites. Reviewers verify the source without leaving the screen.
A Floor for Junior Reviewers
Junior reviewers run Mason first and learn from what it catches. Senior reviewers stay on the judgment calls.
