Stop guessing what the ordinance says. Codecheck checks your project against the actual text of U.S. municipal codes and shows you the exact section behind every result — not a paraphrase, not a summary.
The U.S. has thousands of municipalities, each with its own zoning code, building amendments, and local interpretations. The current process is manual, fragmented, and expensive.
VDC coordinators and estimators spend hours digging through hundred-page zoning PDFs to answer basic questions before a project can start — questions that should take seconds.
A single missed setback or parking ratio discovered during plan review means redesign, resubmittal, and schedule delays. Avoidable compliance errors cost the U.S. construction industry billions annually.
Third-party summaries and internal cheat sheets go out of date silently. When an inspector quotes the ordinance, nobody has it. Codecheck always shows the source section so your team can stand behind every answer.
Codecheck checks your project parameters against the actual text of municipal codes and returns pass, fail, or needs-review for every applicable rule — with the exact article and section cited.
Every rule is sourced directly from the official municipal code. Citations include the exact article, section, and table number — the same citation a plan reviewer would use.
Enter your project parameters and get a complete pass/fail breakdown across dimensional, MEP, building code, use, and site rules — no PDF-digging required.
Now covering 505 jurisdictions across 10 states — and scaling nationally. Counties, cities, and villages — each with their own district structures and local amendments — all in one platform.
Integrate compliance checks into your estimating, BIM coordination, or project management workflows via REST API or the native Revit plugin — no context switching required.
The construction industry loses hundreds of billions annually to avoidable rework, plan review failures, and compliance delays. Codecheck is designed to eliminate the most preventable category of that loss.
Whether you're coordinating BIM models, estimating a bid, designing a site plan, or reviewing drawings — Codecheck gives you the ordinance knowledge you need without the research hours.
Verify equipment placement, mechanical setbacks, rooftop screening requirements, and building code amendments before detailing begins — across any jurisdiction in our 9-state coverage area.
Check setbacks, heights, lot coverage, parking ratios, and sign ordinances for any covered municipality before schematic design is complete — with source citations ready for submittals.
Validate site feasibility, understand what's permitted by right versus special use, and surface compliance issues before due diligence closes — at a fraction of the cost of a code consultant.
Integrate compliance checks into Revit workflows and coordination pipelines via the native plugin or REST API. Import drawing data and run checks without leaving your BIM environment.
Codecheck exists to close the gap between the ordinance text and the field team — so that every contractor, architect, and developer operates with the same information that inspectors have always had.
We believe that access to municipal code information should be instant, precise, and free of ambiguity. Codecheck exists to make the knowledge gap between ordinance text and field execution disappear — starting with 10 states and expanding nationally in the U.S.
Our mission is to digitize, structure, and surface U.S. municipal ordinances so that project teams can get verified compliance answers in seconds, with citations back to the exact section of law. We never paraphrase. We never summarize and omit. Every result we return shows you exactly where the rule lives in the code — because that's what real compliance requires.
We started in Illinois. Our extraction methodology is designed to scale to any U.S. municipality. New jurisdictions are added every month.
Choose from 480+ covered U.S. jurisdictions. Each has its own district structure, zoning rules, and local building code amendments.
