CodeGuardian

Built for architects and BIM teams

Catch code risks while the model can still change.

CodeGuardian scans Revit models for advisory code, documentation, and permit-readiness risks, then turns them into a prioritized review queue.

Inside the Revit workflow

Scan, locate, review, and keep designing.

CodeGuardian turns model and documentation signals into a focused review queue. It does not ask teams to leave Revit, upload drawings, or wait until permit comments arrive.

  • High priorityMajor egress, fire/life safety, and accessibility risks that should be reviewed first.
  • Medium priorityGeometry, tag, room, door, window, and coordination warnings before documentation moves forward.
  • Low priorityMissing project data across zoning, MEP, civil/site, documents, fees, and inspections.
  • Resolved reviewFixed issues move into a green review tab so teams can confirm what changed.

Why we built CodeGuardian

Code review should begin while the model can still change.

Permit comments often arrive after drawings are coordinated and deadlines are close. CodeGuardian was built from firsthand architecture and Revit workflow experience to surface review risks earlier, when teams still have time to investigate and revise the model.

FAQ

What CodeGuardian checks today

Clear scope matters. CodeGuardian is an advisory Revit plugin built to surface permit-readiness risks from the information available in the model.

What does CodeGuardian check in Revit?

CodeGuardian currently reviews available conditions related to doors, stairs, ramps, corridors, rooms, windows, tags, project context, selected review gates, and permit-readiness documentation. It groups findings by priority and connects warnings to the Revit elements that need professional review.

Does it certify code compliance?

No. CodeGuardian is an advisory review layer. It helps architects, BIM teams, and firm reviewers find risks earlier, but it does not replace licensed professionals, official code publications, or the authority having jurisdiction.

Why does the model setup matter?

Revit families and firm templates name parameters differently. CodeGuardian reads common Revit data first, then lets firms map custom parameter names so warnings are tied to the way their models are actually built.

How should renovation teams use it?

Renovation teams can ignore existing and demolition phase elements to reduce noise, then focus the review queue on new work, altered elements, and the drawings that need permit attention.

Does CodeGuardian replace professional code review?

No. CodeGuardian provides advisory warnings for qualified professionals to investigate. It does not guarantee compliance, issue permits, or replace licensed architects, engineers, code consultants, official code publications, or authorities having jurisdiction.
