Are your Revit models truly compliant with the National Building Code?

Manual checking is slow, tedious, and prone to human error. A non-conformity found late in the project means a delayed site, costly rework, and damaged credibility.

There is a better way to work.

Our Revit plug-in analyses, detects and corrects non-conformities — automatically

Codex BIM integrates directly into your Revit workflow and automatically analyses your models — article by article, in real time, with every change. Non-conformities are detected in minutes, before they become problems on site.

Fewer errors. Less rework. More projects delivered on time and on budget.

The challenge

Fire-code review is fragmented. The model already holds most of the answers.

Building height, storeys, occupancy, street faces, exits and travel distances are usually reviewed by hand, across drawings, spreadsheets and code books. The information exists in the Revit model, but connecting it to the applicable requirements is repetitive and easy to lose track of.

With Codex BIM

A structured review workflow, connected to your model

Codex BIM reads supported information from the active Revit model, guides you through the project conditions that drive the applicable requirements, runs the checks it supports and presents the results in one report — so your team spends its time on design decisions, not on re-collecting data.

  • Reads storeys, occupancy and building height from the model
  • Analyses site conditions such as street faces, building area and grade
  • Answers project-specific code questions using the model context
  • Highlights conditions that need attention and shows them on the plan

Workflow

How it works

A four-step workflow that stays inside Revit.

  1. Confirm essential project and building information. Codex BIM pre-fills what it can read from the model — storeys, occupancy, height — and asks only for what is missing.

    • Storeys
    • Occupancy
    • Building height

  2. Work through the site and building conditions that determine which requirements apply: street faces, building area, grade and classification.

    • Building area
    • Grade

  3. Run the supported checks against the active model, including egress paths and travel distances, and ask project-specific questions to the built-in assistant.

  4. Review flagged conditions on the plan, adjust the design, and export a structured fire and life-safety report with pass / needs-attention results per requirement.

Features

What Codex BIM does

Every feature below is shown in the product preview. Availability is confirmed per release and may vary by subscription plan and jurisdiction.

  1. Beta

    Reads your model

    Codex BIM reads storeys, occupancy and building height from the active Revit model and pre-fills the project profile. You confirm or correct — instead of re-typing information the model already contains.

  2. Beta

    Analyses the site

    Street faces, building area and grade are derived from the model and site information, so the conditions that drive classification and exit requirements are established early and consistently.

  3. Beta

    Assistant built into the workflow

    Ask project-specific questions in plain language — for example whether a rooftop elevator machine room counts as a storey. The assistant answers using the model context and the applicable requirement, and explains its reasoning so you can verify it.

  4. Beta

    Egress and travel-distance review

    Exit paths and travel distances are traced on the floor plan from the model geometry, per exit, so you can see which routes drive the result and where a layout change would help.

  5. In Development

    Fire-separation checks

    Firewalls and fire separations are checked for continuity — for example a wall that stops at the roof without a parapet, or a line that runs across different wall types — and flagged for attention with a link to the plan.

  6. Beta

    Structured fire and life-safety report

    Every supported check is summarised in one report with a pass / needs-attention result and the related requirement reference, ready to share with the project team or a reviewer.

Who it is for

Built for the people who review buildings

Architects

Check the conditions that shape early design — storeys, height, occupancy and exits — while the model is still easy to change.

BIM managers

Keep code-related information in the model where it belongs, and give project teams a consistent, repeatable review workflow.

Code consultants

Start from structured model data instead of re-collecting it. Focus your expertise on interpretation and the conditions the tool flags.

Engineers

Coordinate life-safety constraints such as fire separations and egress with your own discipline early, from the same model.

Revit and VDC teams

Run the supported checks inside Revit as part of your coordination routine, without exporting to another platform.

Design and compliance reviewers

Review a structured report with per-requirement results and locate each flagged condition directly on the plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

All questions

What is Codex BIM?

Codex BIM is a plugin for Autodesk Revit that helps AEC professionals review supported fire and life-safety code requirements using information from their Revit project. It reads model information, guides you through the conditions that determine which requirements apply, runs the checks it supports and produces a structured report.

Who is Codex BIM designed for?

Architects, architectural technologists, engineers, BIM managers and coordinators, VDC teams, Revit specialists, code consultants, fire and life-safety reviewers, and design or compliance managers in AEC firms.

How does Codex BIM work with Revit?

Codex BIM installs as a Revit add-in and runs inside Revit. It reads supported information from the active model (for example storeys, occupancy, height and site conditions), lets you confirm project inputs, runs its checks and shows results in the plugin panel and on the plan. The model itself is not modified by the checks.

Which jurisdictions are supported?

The initial focus is Quebec (Beta). Ontario, other Canadian provinces and territories, the United States and international code frameworks are planned and are not available in the current product. The roadmap on the homepage shows the current status of each jurisdiction.

Does Codex BIM guarantee code compliance?

No. Codex BIM is a professional assistance and review tool. It supports the review of selected fire and life-safety requirements and helps identify potential issues; it does not check every applicable requirement, does not guarantee compliance or approval, and does not replace the judgment of qualified professionals or the authority having jurisdiction.

Does Codex BIM replace a code consultant?

No. Codex BIM gives architects, engineers and code consultants structured model data and a repeatable workflow so they can focus their expertise on interpretation and the conditions the tool flags. Professional review remains essential.

Can firms purchase team licences?

Team and Enterprise plans are intended for project teams, BIM departments and multidisciplinary firms. Pricing and terms are being finalised; contact us for organisation-level licensing.
