Frequently asked questions

Codex BIM is a plug-in 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, code consultants, fire and life-safety reviewers, and design or compliance managers in AEC firms.

Codex BIM installs as a Revit plug-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 plug-in panel and on the plan.

Codex BIM is built on an expandable framework. The first version supports the Quebec Construction Code 2015. Other editions and their amendments will be added progressively.

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.

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.

Before, occupant load, travel distance and the report are assembled by hand from the model. After, Codex BIM reads the open Revit model, runs the supported Division B, part 3 checks, and gives you the report in under a minute. You still review the report. It does not replace your judgment or the authority having jurisdiction.

Codex BIM gives you the report in under a minute.
