The Problem:
Codes are written in text, but enforced in drawings.
Building codes are huge, evolving, and scattered across books, PDFs, and portals. Tools like Up.codes let you search, but they don’t think in drawings or understand your address, jurisdiction, or design intent.
Architects still do the hard part by hand—interpreting, cross-checking, and hoping nothing slips through until plan check.
The Solution:
Codes.IQ is project-aware code intelligence.
It starts from your address, jurisdiction, and occupancy, then reads your drawings, data, and binders to apply the right building, zoning, fire, accessibility, and energy rules automatically.
Instead of just searching code text, Codes.IQ thinks in plans and sections—flagging issues early, suggesting compliant alternatives, and generating clear, reviewer-ready logic so you go into plan check knowing where you stand.

Codes.IQ - The Easy Way To Check Codes
1. Identify Context
2. Analyze Knowledge
3. Deliver Intelligence
4. Verify & Document
Enter the project address, create your InQI project, and upload your
plans and documents. Codes.IQ now understands every detail of your site,
jurisdiction, and context.
Codes.IQ will read through your plan, do a detailed take off and then check for any needed documentation automatically within InQI project
scans your drawings and files inside the project binder—extracting areas, counts, uses, egress paths, and other key details it needs to reason about code.
Using what it’s learned from your plans, Codes.IQ applies the relevant building, zoning, fire, accessibility, and energy codes for that address—surfacing the right sections, flags, and actionable insights instead of generic search results.
Within seconds, you get a clear, structured compliance report with references back to specific sheets, views, and conditions that need attention—ready to drive revisions, client conversations, or plan-check responses.
