How it works

From project inputs to compliant decisions in one connected flow.

Start with whatever you have: a project brief, permit set, drawings, specs, AHJ comments, or just a few key details like location, occupancy, and scope. Copilot pulls out the context that matters, so every next step is grounded in your real project, not generic assumptions.

Copilot identifies the most relevant requirements for your context and turns them into guidance you can trust. Ask questions, upload supporting docs, and get answers with inline citations and diagrams, so teams move forward confidently instead of searching across PDFs or waiting on SMEs.

As you research, Copilot extends beyond the code to automatically surface the right assemblies, products, and documentation in the moment they matter. Applicable assemblies, compliant products, and supporting resources appear right where choices get made. You can compare options quickly with performance, sustainability, and compliance data, without breaking your workflow or jumping between tools.

Copilot helps draft specs and QA/QC checklists directly from your project context, with requirements tied back to source codes. Save them to a project, reuse templates across teams, and collaborate in one place, so documentation stays aligned, current, and ready for permitting or delivery.
