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 catch envelope violations against local lot constraints before they become legal issues.
x Geometric Code Violations:
Identify high-risk errors like improper turning radii or egress widths while the design is still fluid.
x Coordination Errors:
Surface "invisible" clashes between architectural layouts and structural or utility requirements early.
The Bottom Line: Stop 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.
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
While other teams wait weeks for drafters, Buildable Engine users test, validate, and hand off designs in days.
Replace manual checklists and "tribal knowledge" with a pre-permit intelligence layer built for high-stakes decisions.
Stop relying on memory. Every violation in our system is backed by explicit, jurisdiction-specific code citations, allowing you to defend your design 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 while giving you the ability to override or adjust any suggestion.
Secure client buy-in faster with side-by-side feasibility comparisons and 3D visualizations that prove your plan is both efficient and compliant.

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.
