Catch code violations before plan check
Check construction drawings against IBC, ADA, fire codes, and egress requirements automatically.
Why code compliance matters
The real cost of code issues caught at plan check, in the field, or in litigation.
From PDF upload to code findings
Helonic reads every relevant sheet in your set and surfaces violations with the exact code reference.
Upload your drawings
Drop your PDF drawing set into Helonic. We process architectural, life-safety, and code sheets at any size.
AI extracts code-relevant data
Our model reads room names, occupancy types, door schedules, wall ratings, dimensions, and fixture counts.
Cross-check against codes
Helonic compares your extracted data against IBC, ADA, fire, and egress requirements section by section.
Code findings report
Receive specific findings with the code reference, the sheet where the issue appears, and a suggested fix.
Codes we check
Coverage across the most frequently cited code categories in commercial construction.

Why automated code review matters
Manual code cross-referencing is slow and error-prone. Every miss turns into a plan check comment, a permit delay, or an accessibility lawsuit after occupancy.
Helonic does the cross-referencing automatically. Door clearances, exit widths, occupant loads, and fire ratings are checked against the relevant code section, with the sheet location attached to every finding.
Catch violations before plan check submission and document that code compliance was verified during design.
