Built for code consultants & code agencies

Your judgment is the product. We carry the legwork.

The opinion is the short part. Assembling the picture behind it, occupancy, construction type, sprinklering, three referenced standards, is where the hours go, and it goes again on the next similar file.

The shape of an engagement

Six kinds of work before the one you bill for

The opinion is what the client is paying for. Everything stacked underneath it is assembly: necessary, unbillable as expertise, and waiting for you again on the next similar file.

Assembly: the work before the opinionWho carries it
1Locate every governing articleNot the one you thought of: all of them, including the ones that only matter at this occupancy.CodeEase
2Resolve the references each one carriesArticles point to articles, to tables, to referenced standards. Following that chain is the bulk of it.CodeEase
3Confirm which edition governsAn interpretation that held under one edition may not hold under the one this permit falls under.CodeEase
4Surface what interacts across the scenarioOccupancy, construction type, sprinklering and height/area do not decide independently.CodeEase
5Rebuild a scenario you have answered beforeThe reasoning from the last similar file is in an old report, so it gets reasoned again.Workspace
6Structure the finding for whoever reads itThe same analysis, rewritten for an architect, an owner, and a reviewer.CodeEase
The opinionWhich requirement applies, how it applies at this occupancy, what it turns on, and then the call you are willing to put your name to.Yours to call. CodeEase assists in getting there: explaining, citing, and showing what each requirement depends on. It advises; it does not decide. Your expertise is what it works with.Yours

The list is the work itself, not a measured time split: we have not measured how a consultant's hours divide, and we are not going to claim a number we do not have. What we will say is which of these BlinKode carries.

The fit

What BlinKode brings to an opinion

CodeEase keeps the analysis assembled, here now. Codiag, coming soon, will review a whole package.

Code AssistantHere now
Knows the code in depth

An expert Code Assistant that knows the code in depth answers any building code question from the code itself, with the citation one click away. When a question turns on a classification you have not stated, it asks rather than assuming. Where the code does not answer, it says so.

Project AssistantHere now
A full grasp of your project

Build the scenario on a project board: pull the articles, connect them, annotate them, keep the project's own documents and drawings beside them. A skilled Project Assistant with a full grasp of your project works inside it, so the reasoning stays assembled instead of being reconstructed.

CodiagProComing soon
Package review as a deliverable

Codiag will review a whole submission against the code and name each requirement not met, with its source: an output a client can act on and a reviewer can check.

Put it against a hard scenario

Bring the kind of question that normally costs you half a day. That is the honest test, and the feedback we most want.
