Upload existing PDFs or CAD files to recreate a site's footprint. Define buildable envelopes and setbacks to start your renovation or new build with a digital twin in seconds.
Quickly generate multiple layout options for your clients without waiting on a drafter. Move walls and rooms to find the most efficient use of space and budget before involving an architect.
Our engine scans for violations—like turning radii and egress widths—as you move walls. Every flag is linked to jurisdiction-specific IBC and IRC rules with one-click automated fixes.
Export 'Before & After' reports with linked code citations to justify design decisions to clients and shorten RFI cycles with your architect.

Most design-build teams find code conflicts after the plans have hardened or construction has begun. Buildable Engine identifies high-risk bottlenecks while the design is still fluid:
x Site & Zoning Validation:
Automatically catch envelope violations against local lot constraints and setbacks before they become permit-blocking legal issues.
x Jurisdiction-Specific Code Scans.:
Surface high-risk errors—such as improper turning radii or egress widths—linked directly to your specific local building codes.
x Pre-Con Coordination Errors:
Surface 'invisible' clashes between architectural layouts and structural or utility requirements while the design is still fluid.
The Bottom Line: Stop the RFI and redesign cycles that lead to fee write-offs and delayed permits.
This is a Professional Intelligence Layer. It is not a replacement for CAD or BIM; it is the validation engine that sits on top of them.
Buildable Engine helped me test four different kitchen and bedroom layouts without committing to any of them. Being able to compare options side by side helped me understand tradeoffs around space and flow before I ever talked to a designer.
We uploaded our floor plan thinking it was basically done. The system flagged issues with hallway widths and door swings that would cause issues once walls were framed. We adjusted the layout in minutes instead of discovering it during construction.
I can’t speak more highly of the Buildable Engine team, especially the founder and design team. They went beyond software support and helped refine a layout based on how we really live — kids, guests, cooking, and flow. The tech+ human guidance made it much easier to move forward with confidence.
While other teams wait weeks for drafters, Buildable Engine users test, validate, and hand off designs in days.
We provide ongoing support to help you settle and succeed
We streamline processes and offer clear guidance for every step
We handle everything from visas to cultural integration
We prioritize understanding your needs to provide tailored guidance
Move from "I think it’s compliant" to "The system verified it." Surface the design gaps that cause site stalls and change orders before they hit your bottom line.
Stop relying on memory. Validate complex layouts during the estimate phase to avoid the "unknowns" that lead to under-bidding and margin erosion. Every violation in our system is backed by explicit, jurisdiction-specific code citations, allowing you to defend your decisions with hard data.
This isn't just a drawing tool; it is a validation layer designed to catch the high-risk issues that kill project margins. Show clients buildable options in real-time and use side-by-side comparisons to justify design changes and move to contract faster.
Secure client buy-in faster with side-by-side feasibility comparisons and 3D visualizations that prove your plan is both efficient and compliant. Create a defensible audit trail of every code-check and correction to hand off validated concepts that reduce the burden on your design partners.

It feels like having an architect in the room early — just breaking things down before you spend real money.
It helped me understand what was actually possible before I talked to contractors.
The 'guided mode' was exactly what I needed. It explained why my wall placement was wrong in simple English. Game-changer.
