Weirdly the UpCodes version is too. Has it officially gone into effect yet? I believe that’s UpCodes’s standard for publication, but not positive.

UpCodes dice haber analizado más de 1.300 sets de planos y señalado 180.000 posibles incidencias normativas.

La media comunicada es de 21 incidencias críticas por set. "Posibles" importa: detectar una alerta no demuestra un incumplimiento.

UpCodes AI Plan Review doesn’t just read text. It reads geometry, dimensions, symbols, and more.

We put it to the test with this hand-drawn sketch, and it flagged 10 issues across accessibility, means of egress, and occupancy.

Can you spot all 10? Check the replies for the answers. 👇

And here's where he seems to have got bored and stopped reading, a marine motor fuel-dispensing facility is defined as:

"fixed equipment on shore, piers, wharves, floats or barges"

So apparently there are other methods besides strictly "on shore".

They are discussing when a committee proposes referencing a standard, they have to pay for copies of a standard that can be passed around to all members. They have to respect the copyright of other standards orgs. Delicious delicious irony. Have they considered upcodes?

La normativa deja de ser el PDF que alguien abre la semana antes de entregar.

UpCodes enlaza códigos con especificaciones y Kestrel comprueba norma dentro de Revit. Con el CTE por delante, quien monte antes el piloto tendrá conversación con la administración.

I love upcodes, I’m a DIY’er and it made it super easy to follow codes for a bunch of products like installing a water heater and a hot tub.

I’ve never used UpCodes so I don’t know why this would be bad, exactly. We lose third-party publishing of current codes & their derivatives? Would they get to charge governments for a license to publish? Would bots not be allowed to ingest the code? What’s the case for copyright?

Like, flip the players around a bit: if a for-profit hospital chain upcodes in a way they know is inappropriate & stealing federal dollars but Medicare isn't together enough to call them on it, should that be criminal on their part?
