u-audit-c applies your jurisdiction's building code, local zoning bylaws, your firm's Project Information standards, and a structured Quality Control Checklist to your drawing set — delivering a complete, Bluebeam-ready Audit Report PDF in under 45 minutes.
Anyone can download a building code for free. Any architect can look up a zoning bylaw online. The advantage is a system that knows which articles apply to your occupancy, your phase, your project scale — and crosses them against your drawings, your firm's own Project Information, and your Quality Control Checklist, automatically, every single run.
Built for the Canadian AEC environment — not adapted from a US product. Works with any provincial building code and any municipal bylaw.
Every finding cites the exact code article with a live hyperlink directly to the verified page in the official government PDF. For British Columbia projects, for example, u-audit-c applies BCBC 2024 with article-level precision — §3.3.5.8 triggers because there are fuel dispensers, §3.3.2.18 because there's an infant room. Upload any provincial code PDF and the same intelligence applies.
Upload your project's applicable zoning bylaw PDF and u-audit-c cross-references setbacks, height limits, floor-area ratio, parking requirements, and permitted uses directly against your site plan. Not attached as a background reference — applied to what your drawings actually show.
Every sheet scanned for misspelled words in room labels, notes, schedules, and title blocks — plus overlapping text, conflicting dimensions, broken cross-references, and graphic inconsistencies. Each finding is logged with sheet number, grid location, and error type (DQ-T text, DQ-G graphic, DQ-S standards, DQ-D dimensional). Delivered to your BIM lead before the set goes out.
Every firm operates with its own Project Information: project numbering conventions, title block standards, drawing issue protocols, naming rules, client-specific requirements. Upload your Project Information file and u-audit-c confronts the entire drawing set against it — flagging every inconsistency between what the drawings show and what your firm's standards require. Not a generic template. Your rules, applied to your drawings, every time.
Upload your firm's own QC Checklist and u-audit-c evaluates the drawing set against your specific quality gates. If your firm doesn't have one yet, the audit runs automatically against the Canadian Handbook of Practice (CHOP) best practices — so no project goes without a structured quality review, regardless of what's on file. The result is a scored QC evaluation in every Audit Report.
Design team retained, code version confirmed, structural and MEP on board, fire strategy defined, accessibility documented — 19 milestones evaluated per phase. A single Process Integrity Score quantifies how ready the project is before permit submission — for your team and your client.
Findings carry forward across phases with RESOLVED / PARTIAL / OPEN status. Each subsequent audit shows exactly what was fixed and what is still outstanding. No manual cross-referencing between PDF versions of previous reports.
Automatically classifies your project under the applicable code scale — complex (Part 3) or simple residential/commercial (Part 9) — and adjusts the entire audit scope accordingly. Required professional seals, fire protection thresholds, structural expectations, and code sections all shift with the classification. No manual configuration required.
Reviews your Project Information file for completeness: design team contacts confirmed, CA scope defined, BIM execution plan in place, key documents on file (geotech, hazmat, survey). A Project Readiness Rating tells you whether you're ready to commit design resources before anything is drawn.
A single, professionally formatted PDF containing all findings by code category (Fire, Life Safety, Accessibility, Structural, Zoning, and more), QC Checklist evaluation with gate scores, drawing quality findings for the BIM lead, and the Project Readiness summary — formatted for direct use in Bluebeam Revu.
The core audit — applied to your drawing set at any design phase (SD, DD, CD). Covers all ten audit dimensions above: code compliance, zoning, DQ, Project Information, QC Checklist, and lifecycle tracking.
Focused on constructability and bid risk. Identifies ambiguities, unresolved "TBD" items, scope gaps, and interdisciplinary conflicts that will generate RFIs or change orders once construction starts. Includes an estimated bid risk rating per finding.

Documents field observations against the issued-for-construction set. Compares as-built conditions with IFC drawings, logs deficiencies with photo references, and generates a structured punch list with HOLD / DEFICIENCY / MINOR classifications and responsible party assignments.
