CodeGuardian field guide
Where to find residential Revit users and code-compliance conversations.
The best prospects are not simply people with "Revit" in a profile. Look for residential architects, designers, BIM managers, and design-build teams publicly discussing permit comments, code review, egress, accessibility, redlines, and late-stage coordination.
Best starting point
Use a combination of firm directories and practitioner communities.
Houzz and LinkedIn are strongest for identifying firms. Autodesk Community, AIA communities, AUGI, and focused Reddit communities are stronger for understanding actual Revit and code-review pain. Confirm that a firm uses Revit before contacting it, and approach public discussions as customer research rather than a place for mass promotion.
Houzz
Search architects, residential designers, design-build firms, and home builders by location and project type. Firm profiles, project portfolios, and reviews help establish residential fit, but Houzz usually does not confirm whether the team uses Revit.
Browse residential architecture firmsSearch job titles such as residential architect, project architect, BIM manager, Revit specialist, design technology leader, and residential designer. Public posts about permitting, redlines, accessibility, coordination, and QA/QC are stronger buying signals than group membership alone.
Search people and firmsAutodesk Community
The official Autodesk community contains public Revit workflow questions and model troubleshooting discussions. Search for phrases such as residential, code summary, egress, accessibility, permit set, room calculation, and model checker.

The Custom Residential Architects Network and Small Firm Exchange concentrate the exact practitioners most likely to own both design and code-review work. These are relationship and research communities, so contribute useful workflow questions before pitching a product.
Explore AIA Community HubAUGI
AUGI is a CAD and BIM user community with Revit-focused learning and practitioner content. It is useful for finding technical language, recurring modeling friction, and experienced users who influence firm workflows.
Explore AUGI Revit resourcesPublic communities such as r/Revit, r/BIM, and r/Architects contain candid discussions about residential production, code responsibility, permitting, and software limitations. Use the discussions to learn and validate pain; follow each community's promotion rules.

What to search for.
Use combinations of the software, project type, and workflow problem:
- Revit residential permit comments
- Revit code summary or code sheet
- Revit egress path and travel distance
- Revit accessibility clearances
- residential BIM QA/QC
- architect permit resubmittal or plan-review redlines
- small architecture firm Revit workflow
- multifamily Revit code compliance
These searches reveal public conversations where the problem is already present. Do not infer that every participant is a buyer; confirm role, project type, Revit usage, and willingness to test.
Why CodeGuardian exists
Code review should begin before the permit set is finished.
CodeGuardian is a Revit-native advisory checker that helps architecture and BIM teams identify potential building-code, documentation, and permit-readiness issues earlier.
