Can UpCodes AI Plan Review analyze a hand-drawn sketch? We put it to the test.
It flagged 10 issues across accessibility, means of egress, and occupancy.
Can you spot all 10? Test yourself, then check the replies for the answers. 👇
That’s a wrap on #Greenbuild! 🌱 Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and joined our session.
Our highlight: showing how AI Plan Review can help catch code and coordination issues before construction, reducing the risk of rework and its added emissions.

"For decades, law publishers like ICC and ASTM have attempted to copyright the law. They have consistently failed in the courts for the last 20 years; at the end of every case, our legal system has reinforced that laws cannot be copyrighted.
"Having been shut down by our legal system, the publishers have now turned to Congress in an attempt to circumvent the courts."

Free, unfettered law is kryptonite for code publishers.
UpCodes has been defending the right to read and speak the law for almost a decade now.
We reflect here about the many lawsuits we've successfully defended. And the publishers' push in Congress.
