Upload existing PDFs or CAD files to recreate a site’s footprint. Start your renovation or new build with a digital "System of Motion" that accepts both images and vector files.
Quickly generate multiple layout options for your clients without waiting on a drafter. Compare configurations side-by-side to find the most efficient use of space and budget.
Our engine scans for high-risk violations—like turning radii and egress widths—as you move walls. Every flag is linked to jurisdiction-specific IBC, IRC, and ADA geometry rules.
Review proposed fixes explicitly linked to code citations. Export "Before & After" reports 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 Zoning & Setback Conflicts: Automatically validate building envelopes against local lot constraints.
x Geometric Code Violations: Catch IBC, IRC, and ADA issues like improper turning radii or egress widths in real-time.
x Coordination Errors: Identify conflicts between architectural layouts and structural/utility requirements early.
x Unnecessary Redesign Costs: Eliminate the "back-and-forth" 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.

Buildable Engine is more than a drawing tool—it is a pre-permit intelligence layer designed to catch the high-risk code and accessibility issues that kill project margins. By identifying constraints during the fluid design phase, you avoid the "permit horror stories" that lead to expensive rework and fee write-offs.
Stop relying on manual checklists or tribal knowledge. Every violation in our system is backed by explicit, jurisdiction-specific code citations. This allows you to defend your design decisions with data and maintain total professional control with the ability to override or adjust any automated suggestion.
Designed to bridge the gap between GCs, clients, and architects. Use side-by-side feasibility comparisons and 3D visualizations to secure client buy-in faster, then export validated plans to shorten the RFI loop with your architect of record.

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.
