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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Product preview

See Codex BIM in action

This short preview shows how Codex BIM reads model information, analyses the site, answers project-specific code questions and produces a structured fire and life-safety report. The preview illustrates the product workflow; interface details may change before general availability.

  • Reads your model – storeys, occupancy, height
  • Analyses the site – street faces, building area, grade
  • Assistant built into the workflow
  • Fire and life safety checked – a full report

The preview has no narration. A transcript of the on-screen text is provided below.

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.
