How leading engineering firms get code research done
Understand and apply building codes faster
Search jurisdiction-specific codes, with integrated amendments and errata, in a single platform. No more flipping through stacks of code books or digging in PDFs to find local updates.
Visualize exactly what the code is saying with detailed illustrations. UpCodes Diagrams unpack complex concepts and help junior team members build code understanding.
UpCodes Copilot is an AI built exclusively for code research. It pulls from our up-to-date library of local adoptions, delivering project-specific answers in seconds. Every response includes source citations with direct links to code sections, letting you quickly review and validate information.
Working across projects in multiple jurisdictions or code years? Code Compare analyzes the differences across codes and highlights the changes in a side-by-side comparison. Understand exactly how the code differs without doing a page-by-page turn.

Copilot is included in the UpCodes Professional plan. Essentials users can try Copilot with limited access, but full capabilities are reserved for Professional subscribers.
Generic AI tools are trained on broad internet data and aren’t designed to handle the complexity of AEC compliance. UpCodes Copilot is purpose-built on a continuously maintained library of locally adopted codes, amendments, assemblies, and products, with clear citations back to the exact sections used.
That difference shows up in practice: in a recent expert-reviewed study, Copilot was 57% more accurate than leading generic AI tools when answering real-world code questions.
Yes. Copilot remembers your jurisdiction, building type and size, and code year - so you don’t have to start over every time. You can also upload project documents like AHJ comments or spec drafts for more tailored, project-aware answers.
Accuracy is where purpose-built AI matters most. In an independent study of 43 real-world code questions, responses from Copilot and several generic AI tools were evaluated by industry subject matter experts.
UpCodes Copilot earned a 93% weighted accuracy score across major code families-more than 2× the accuracy of generic AI tested. Every answer is grounded in adopted codes, includes verifiable citations, and often surfaces diagrams to support interpretation.
Yes. Copilot doesn’t stop at Q&A. It can generate project-specific checklists, and soon, full specifications - all tied directly to your projects. This enables collaboration across teams, centralizes compliance tracking, and replaces hours of manual QA/QC with automated, reliable workflows.
Your data is your data. Copilot does not train on your conversations or documents, and we use secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure to protect sensitive information. Conversations are private by default and cannot be seen by teammates unless you explicitly share them.
