Audit engine live in production — not a mock-up

Compliance is
a build step.

Every IFC version checked automatically — the way software teams run tests before a release. Applicant-side, IFC-native, and every verdict carries its own evidence.

Illustrative run against the Swedish rule pack in development. Today the engine runs in production on Russian design documentation.

01 — Problem

Code compliance is where
building projects stall.

The check is manual, the codes move faster than the engineers, and the cost lands on the applicant.

$75K soft-cost hit per residential project from permit delayNAHB estimate — $30–75K range
83% of developers name permit delay a top barrier to delivery
89% of Swedish permit applications arrive incomplete on first submission
3–5days of a senior engineer per document set, cross-checking codes by hand

02 — Multi-Agent Consensus

18 Autonomous Reviewers &
Live Stream Audit.

Watch 18 domain-specialized AI reviewers stream proof-carrying verdicts directly into text blocks on the submission document — forming structural consensus across all building codes.

03 — 3D Spatial Audit

IFC Geometry & Real-Time
Scanning Plane.

Inspect building geometry in 3D. The automated scanner plane passes through structural, architectural, and MEP layers, continuously validating compliance rules against IFC entity attributes.

04 — IFC Federation

Multi-domain IFC Federation

From raw architectural CAD and IFC geometry to correlated rule execution. Every finding connects back to its precise source in the model.

Cross-Domain Join Engine

Types joins across architecture, structural engineering, and MEP routing. Finds clashes and code violations before construction starts.

05 — Solution

Continuous integration
for buildings.

Two mechanisms make the verdict trustworthy. Both are patent pending.

Patent pending

Coverage Gate

Each mandatory check carries its own capability, evaluation and evidence state. A “ready” verdict is structurally impossible while any required row is uncovered — the tool cannot silently skip a rule.

Patent pending

Proof-carrying correlation

Cross-domain findings are typed joins over IFC entities with a provenance trail back to source facts — so a finding can be re-derived, not just trusted.

Replay

Bitemporal source closure

Codes move: national, state and municipal amendments land continuously. Any past review can be replayed against the rules as they stood on the submission date.

07 — Market

The category tipped.
Penetration is still ~2%.

Capital and regulation arrived in 2026; the installed base did not. That gap is the entry window.

08 — Competition

Everyone owns one column.
Nobody owns the row.

“Upload a PDF and let AI find code violations” is a crowded lane. Neutral IFC plus jurisdiction replay is not.

Fragmentation is the moat — there is no single global building code, and that is exactly why a jurisdiction-replay engine compounds.

submission set.

The engine runs today on real, paid project documentation. The Swedish rule pack — BBR (Boverkets byggregler, the Swedish building regulations) and PBL (Plan- och bygglagen, the Planning and Building Act) — is the first Western target; DACH and US follow.
