Kestrel Labs

Most discussions about AI in architecture focus on rendering or generative design. One of the most immediate and practical applications is building code compliance in Revit — translated into structured logic and evaluated directly against the BIM model.

How AI building code compliance tools differ — code research and lookup, drawing-set and plan review, and model-native compliance during design. Where each fits in the workflow, and where Kestrel sits.

A look at the architecture and design teams using Kestrel for AI building code compliance during active design — the kinds of projects they run it on and where it fits their process. Detailed studies in progress.

Most building code compliance issues are discovered at plan check — when they are expensive to fix and delay permitting. How model-based compliance catches them during design instead, inside the Revit model.

Kestrel Labs has no open roles and welcomes connections with people working in AI, AEC tech, and building code compliance.

Kestrel is priced as an annual firm-wide license that covers the whole firm, with no seat counts, per-project fees, or usage caps.

Kestrel is building code compliance software that runs inside Revit and evaluates BIM models against jurisdiction-specific requirements during design — not at plan check. Every issue is cited to the exact code section.

Kestrel Labs handles demo requests, partnership inquiries, and press inquiries.

Kestrel checks designs against jurisdiction-specific building codes in BIM models during design, using AI, deterministic verification, and citations to exact code sections.
