Our story
Building the compliance layer connecting designers and cities.
CodeGuardian started with a simple frustration: too many good projects lose time because code issues are found late, after the design team has already moved forward.
Why we built it
Built from real project friction.
We built CodeGuardian after experiencing a common problem in architecture: projects were not delayed because of design ambition, but because of code compliance.
While freelancing, we saw how back-and-forth comments from city reviewers could slow down momentum. Later, in practice, we saw that final code checks often depended on a small number of experienced people, creating bottlenecks at the exact moment a project needed clarity.
So we moved compliance into the design process. CodeGuardian helps teams catch issues earlier, understand priority, and locate problems inside Revit before they become expensive redesigns or permit delays.
The bigger vision
From Revit checks to faster permitting.
Today, CodeGuardian helps designers scan Revit models. Next, we are expanding toward municipal plan review so cities can review submitted drawings faster, reduce backlog, and make compliance feedback more consistent.
One platform, two sides of the same problem.
- Designers catch code issues before submission.
- Reviewers evaluate plans with clearer issue tracking.
- Cities reduce repetitive manual review work.
What we believe
Compliance should be earlier, clearer, and easier to act on.
Building code compliance will always require professional judgment. CodeGuardian is not replacing architects, engineers, code officials, or licensed reviewers. It is giving them a better way to see risk earlier.
Our goal is to help designers catch issues early and help cities review plans faster.
