Catch Building Code Issues in Your Project Work

Jan 20, 2026

Most of the expensive design changes start with small building code issues that aren’t caught early.

Stepscale helps teams catch these issues sooner by grounding building code questions in the exact jurisdiction and project context you’re working in.

How it works in Stepscale

Building codes tied to each project

Stepscale automatically selects the relevant code based on your project location. You can also select from a list of current Building Codes directly in Project Files. If a code isn’t available in the list, just upload it as the default code to use in that Project.

Code-aware answers while you prepare work

Ask building code or compliance questions in plain language. Stepscale compares your drawings against the relevant building code to identify discrepancies and flag areas of non-compliance.

Enable building codes for your project's jurisdiction in Project Files

What this enables

  • Catch code-related issues earlier, before design freeze or submission

  • Reference exact code sections when reviewing or discussing compliance

  • Reduce rework caused by late-stage interpretation errors
