Know your design passes code before you reach permitting.

Designs that skip a compliance pass before permitting fail plan check often enough to cost $40K+ in redesign fees and lost schedule, on average. Run a full compliance check while your design can still change, not after a plan checker finds the problem for you.

Illustrative data, not a real project. Swap for a real product capture once available.

Every check your plan reviewer will run, done before you submit.

One model, checked as your design changes, not corrected after you're at permitting.

Check compliance in minutes, not weeks

Run a full Title 24, IECC 2024, and ASHRAE 90.1 pass/fail check the moment your design changes, not after a plan checker's queue finally opens it.

Know your code path before you model anything

Prescriptive or performance, Buildwiser matches the correct path to your jurisdiction and climate zone automatically, so you're not modeling against the wrong standard from the start.

See exactly where you stand, system by system

Envelope, mechanical, and lighting are checked independently and together, so you know exactly which system needs a redesign, not just a page number to look up.

Local amendments, matched automatically

Every jurisdiction layers its own amendments on top of the base code. Buildwiser applies yours automatically: the same ones a plan checker would look for, not just the statewide minimum.

Compare every path before you pick one

See prescriptive, performance, and above-code scenarios side by side, and know which one clears compliance with the most margin before you lock your design.

Frequently asked questions

What code editions does this check against?

Title 24 (2025), IECC 2024, and ASHRAE 90.1, plus your jurisdiction's locally adopted amendments, matched automatically to your project address.

What happens if something fails?

You get the specific system that failed (envelope, mechanical, or lighting) and the margin by which it failed, plus alternate paths that would pass, not just a rejection letter.

Does this replace a compliance consultant?

No. Buildwiser runs the check automatically, but it's built to make that check faster and catch failures earlier, not replace the judgment call a plan checker makes at permitting.

Can I re-check after a design change?

Yes. Every scenario stays live, change a spec and the compliance result re-runs automatically, without starting the analysis over.

What happens after my first check?

Your result saves to your account immediately: pass or fail, system by system, plus the fastest path to a pass if anything failed.
