Historic solutions
to the code checking compliance problem have been ineffective
and a one dimensional solutions. Their primary purpose is to simply
manage documents in a framework designed to change the embodiment
of the materials to be reviewed (Blueprints). They were deployed
in the form of creating code studies, hosting a web enabled service
to submit plans for manual review by analysts, offering databases
of building codes for electronic access, modeling the design in
2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D or 7D, inserting mark-ups and comments on pdf
drawings, comparing drawings side-by-side using digital overlay,
moving the problem from left to right, or even manipulating the
structure's data to make the presentation of such more user friendly.
All solutions lead to increased challenges with implementation
and higher overall cost, which are not designed to address the
actual task of "Code Checking".
Our innovative
solution allows users to capture, analyze building codes parameters
and generates compliance status reports prior to submittals (QA
& QC) which is the basis of the permit issuing authority compliance
decision. Best of all, it allows for early submission, preliminary
project review with code compliance feedback, more accurate final
submittals by the design professionals and facilitates faster
review times. It also fits seamlessly within an organizations
existing architecture that integrates granular permit data from
source systems and links the database warehouse with rich transactional
details.
