A real run, unedited apart from the wait: a project created from an address, and the site's planning data arriving before anything else is typed.

Why the careful practices choose it.

    • Minimum ceiling height
    • Fire separation between sole-occupancy units
    • Exit travel distance
    • Bushfire attack level
    • Balustrade height and openings
    • Waterproofing a wet area
    • Sanitary facilities for 120 staff

    Every question, one place

    Whatever the drawing set throws up, the Code, the state overlay and the standards behind it are searched together. No tab-hopping between volumes.

  • Class 2, NCC 2025

    Habitable room 2.4 m minimumNCC 2025 V1 F5D2

    Corridor 2.1 m minimumNCC 2025 V1 F5D2

    Sloping ceiling: two-thirds of the room at or above the minimumNCC 2025 V1 F5D2

    Cited to the clause

    Every figure arrives with the provision it came from, as a chip that opens the source. Checking an answer takes seconds, not a search.

Built on the sources, not around them

  • NCC editions indexed, 2019 to 20253
  • states and territories covered8
  • deterministic calculators, free to use7
  • domain methods, from planning to fee proposals31

“As someone working in the construction industry, I know how time consuming it can be to dig through Standards or wait for consultants to get back to you. This AI tool has completely changed the game. It's fast, accurate, and incredibly easy to use, whether I need quick clarity on compliance or a second opinion when dealing with grey areas. It's become a daily go-to and a valuable part of my work.”

One platform for the whole job. Ask, then bring the project in, then hand the long work off and get a document back.
