Cross code management off your to-do list
Research, enforce, and communicate the code with confidence
UpCodes helps building departments stay aligned with adopted codes, answer compliance questions faster, and access the right information whether you’re at your desk or in the field.
Trade insert pages for automatic code updates
UpCodes tracks locally adopted code changes across the US, integrating amendments, updates, and errata right in line. Once our team processes an update, the changes are published across the platform, so you can spend more time answering code questions instead of chasing code changes.
Everything you need for an inspection, right at your fingertips
Instead of lugging code books and notes to the job site, you can access them from your phone or tablet. As long as you have access to the internet, you can search for codes, pull up your checklist, or show a diagram to the team on-site and move the inspection along smoothly.
Keep the public informed, and your inbox clear
Answering the public's compliance questions shouldn’t mean endless back-and-forth emails. With UpCodes, you can send a direct link to a specific code section or pull up a diagram that visualizes complex requirements to get everyone on the same page.

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.
