Learn how InferTrust™ AEC creates cryptographic proof for every AI-assisted building code compliance check, binding each review to the specific code edition in
Building code compliance is the foundation of every construction project. When AI tools assist in reviewing designs against the International Building Code (IBC), local amendments, and zoning ordinances, the integrity of those reviews must be provable. InferTrust™ AEC (Patent Pending) creates a cryptographically sealed decision record for every AI-assisted code compliance check, binding the review to the exact code edition, amendment set, and zoning overlay in force at the time of analysis.
Building codes change on adoption cycles, and jurisdictions frequently adopt different editions with local amendments. InferTrust™ AEC hashes the specific code edition (IBC 2021, IBC 2024, or any adopted edition), all active local amendments, applicable zoning overlays and use classifications, and the occupancy and construction type parameters used in the review. Each decision record includes these hashes so that any future audit can verify exactly which code requirements the AI evaluated against. If a jurisdiction later adopts a new edition, the historical record still proves compliance against the code in force at the time of review.
When a jurisdiction adopts a new code edition during an active project, teams face a transition challenge: which code applies to which phase of the design? InferTrust™ AEC captures the transition boundary in the decision chain. Reviews performed before the adoption date reference the prior edition hash, and reviews after reference the new edition. If a project is grandfathered under the previous code, that determination is itself sealed as a decision record with the applicable permit date and jurisdictional ruling. This eliminates disputes about which code governed which design decision.
Projects rarely answer to a single code. A typical commercial building must satisfy IBC structural and fire safety provisions, IECC or ASHRAE energy requirements, ADA accessibility standards, local fire marshal amendments, and zoning setback and height restrictions. InferTrust™ AEC captures each code domain as a separate decision event while maintaining referential links between them. When a plan reviewer or building official requests proof that the AI checked a specific provision, the sealed record identifies the exact clause, the edition, and the result of the AI evaluation. This supports jurisdictions that are beginning to accept AI-assisted plan review as part of the permitting workflow.
