UpCodes has launched Copilot, an AI-powered tool that answers complex building code questions for industry professionals and homeowners. The tool, which is built on ChatGPT-4, annotates responses with relevant sections of code, streamlining the code research process. UpCodes recently raised $3.5m in a Series A funding round led by Building Ventures, taking the startup’s total funding to $7.6m. UpCodes plans to use the funds to hire engineers to develop Copilot and add more AI-based features to its platform. UpCodes’ database currently covers regulations in all US states and cities, and is updated with about 7,000 changes every month.
UpCodes is a platform simplifying building codes for industry professionals and homeowners by digitising regulations that were only previously available in physical form and making them easier to access.
Scott Reynolds is the co-founder and CEO of UpCodes. Under his leadership, UpCodes’ team has doubled in size, its revenue has quadrupled, and it now serves over 650,000 monthly active users.
