Building Codes Are Legally Binding

Wrong answers aren't just inconvenient — they're dangerous

The Problem

  • ChatGPT hallucinates code requirements
  • Wrong jurisdiction, outdated editions
  • No way to verify AI-generated answers
  • Manual PDF search is slow and error-prone
  • Context-dependent clauses get missed

The Solution

  • Every answer cites exact section numbers
  • Searches jurisdiction-specific code text
  • Verbatim quotes you can verify yourself
  • Full-text search across all code databases
  • Disambiguation forces critical context first

Research You Can Rely On

Every answer includes section numbers, file paths, and line references. Check the source yourself.

Full-Text Search

Search across BC Building Code, BC Fire Code, National Fire Code, and Vancouver Building Bylaw simultaneously.

Verbatim Quotes

Exact text from the code — never paraphrased, never hallucinated. Read the actual clause.

Jurisdiction-Specific

BC Building Code 2024, BC Fire Code 2024, National Fire Code 2020, Vancouver Bylaw 2025.

Smart Disambiguation

Forces critical context before answering: jurisdiction, occupancy class, building height, sprinkler status.

Current Standards

Uses extracted code editions — not stale training data. Updated when new editions are published.
