An Architect’s perspective:
Texas-based JML Architects have benefited from the IHS Plan Analyst product for over four years. "Before Plan Analyst, we would spend hours researching buildings with the corresponding code books," says J. Michael Leinback AIA, Principal Architect at JML Architects. The implementation of Plan Analyst allows this team to find the information they need, fast. "Since we started using Plan Analyst, we have seen a 50% reduction in our research time, clearly a considerable savings." Plan Analyst allows JML Architects to pull reports and speak intelligently to clients and prospects about jobs. "The reports are professional, accurate, and informative. This has been a beneficial tool when meeting with both clients and prospects." The Plan Analyst tool also allows JML Architects to use less experienced staff in the research process. The accuracy of the product ensures that results will be correct and quickly produced; yet another cost savings to the JML Architects’ bottom line.
