AI compliance checker generates project checklists from latest building codes.
Small construction businesses are overwhelmed by constantly changing building regulations and permits, resulting in fines and project halts.
CodeGuard uses AI to audit project plans against local codes, generating instant checklists and flagging risks. Small businesses upload plans or details, get compliant checklists, and track fixes. Eliminates manual code reading and compliance guesswork.
