Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.
