Code drives the design — occupancy, egress, fire ratings, accessibility, and energy all govern the plan, and the IBC, ADA, energy codes, and local amendments all apply to the same drawing. Codebooqs lets architects and designers ask in plain language and pull the exact section from the documents they uploaded to back every decision.

The Problem

The Answer Is in the Manual — Somewhere

Code drives the design

Occupancy, egress, fire ratings, and accessibility all govern the plan. Missing one means costly rework.

Multiple codes at once

IBC, ADA, energy, and local amendments all apply to the same drawing.

Plan-review delays

A wrong assumption surfaces at review and stalls the project. Cited answers prevent it.

What You Can Upload

Occupancy, egress, and fire-resistance by section.

Accessibility (ADA)
