The AI-native platform for codes, plans, and specification workflows, all in one place.
Bringing building codes, plans, and specifications into one QA/QC workflow. Every plan, every spec, checked against code.
Trusted by 800,000 AEC professionals and teams who rely on accurate, current codes.
Compliance works better when everything talks to each other
UpCodes keeps requirements, selections, and institutional knowledge connected, reducing handoffs, guesswork, and rework across the project lifecycle.
Faster, smarter workflows
See the code in visual form
Bring compliant systems together
Find products built for compliance
From project inputs to compliant decisions — in one connected flow.
In expert-reviewed testing, Copilot delivered significantly higher accuracy than general-purpose AI. That advantage comes from being trained on a library of adopted codes, not the open internet.
Copilot surfaces diagrams inline to explain complex requirements visually, not just textually. Generic AI can describe code; Copilot helps teams understand it.
Every Copilot answer links directly to the exact adopted code section it references. Because it’s built on UpCodes’ maintained code library, citations are clear, current, and enforceable.
Copilot doesn't stop at answers; it creates checklists, saves research to projects, and carries context across your work. Generic AI lives in a chat box; Copilot powers an end-to-end compliance workflow.
See the code with our detailed diagrams
Access a growing library of high-fidelity diagrams that clearly illustrate complex code requirements and help your team visualize how they apply in real projects.
Tools that keep research moving, without switching systems
UpCodes pairs comprehensive, up-to-date libraries with purpose-built AI and project workflows, so teams don’t lose momentum between research and documentation.
The code foundation your entire workflow depends on
Bring specs online without losing control or context
Choose the right analysis for the job
Run your plans against the checks that matter: codes, specs, firm standards, and other disciplines. Combine them into a single review, or run each analysis on its own.
Plan Review reads and interprets the drawings, including geometry, scale, clearances, and spatial relationships. It's how you catch design issues, not just documentation errors, while the cheapest fixes are still on the table.
With any UpCodes' paid plans, you can do advanced searches, access detailed code diagrams, bookmark code sections, easily calculate code requirements, compare code sections, and more. To learn more about what’s included, visit the Pricing Page.
You can sign up for an UpCodes paid plan to start a two-week free trial. During your free trial you have access to all features available with the paid plan you selected. At the end of the 14-day trial period, you can choose to roll over to our free Basic plan, or subscribe to that paid plan. To compare available subscription options, visit the Pricing Page.
UpCodes is laser-focused on code accuracy and has spent years building the technology, infrastructure, and expert team dedicated to quality code analysis. We compile code updates, amendments, and errata all in one place. Our process includes a comprehensive review where we integrate amendments, perform quality checks and use specialized proofreading tools to help identify errors.
No! All the updates are pushed automatically to the website. If the codes have been updated, those changes will automatically show up on your next page refresh.
Yes, when you first create a project, you can select a jurisdiction and code cycle for the project and make the project visible to the rest of your organization. You can then bookmark relevant codes, add firm-wide commentary on these sections, and set up typical project information within the code calculator, such as building program, occupancy, use, number of levels, areas, exits, etc. You can also invite collaborators to the project, so they can input information based on their specialties. Once this project is set up, you can lock it to prevent further changes and archive it, so it does not reside in your library of live projects. This will set up the project as a template. Anyone who wishes to use the template as a starting point can open the archived project, which now lives under the 'Archive' tab of 'Projects,' copy and rename it, reassign the jurisdiction for the project, and then save it as a new project.
Our diagrams are created by our illustrations team. They take a conservative approach to illustrating diagrams to stick to the wording of the code. As we receive input from users or find amendments that would change the diagram, we will make state specific illustrations or modify the diagram based on input from users, if necessary.
We're always looking to improve, and any suggestion is greatly appreciated! Users can place requests by emailing support@up.codes, utilizing the chat feature, or by selecting the "Feedback" option on the left-hand side and filling out the form.
