UpCodes provides an accessible platform for construction codes. We are working to consolidate the shifting points of information into a single searchable database.
Regulations and codes are found in a range of independent resources. UpCodes brings together construction codes, fire codes, and ADA standards categorized by jurisdiction. The open information platform is designed to increase accessibility and facilitate collaboration between architects, designers, engineers, and construction professionals.
The consolidation of resources makes it possible to simplify the complex network of regulations. Individual code publications are dependent upon one another, built on a foundation of linked references. Bringing these points of information into a single source reduces friction in navigating code.
