CBC MEP compliance check

Helonic is an AI construction drawing analysis platform for mep teams checking California Building Code (Title 24 Part 2) on construction drawings.

Helonic checks mep construction drawings against California Building Code (Title 24 Part 2) to detect violations, missing requirements, and code compliance issues before they delay a permit or hit the field.

What is California Building Code (Title 24 Part 2)?

California's state building code based on the IBC with extensive California-specific amendments for seismic, energy, accessibility, and green building requirements.

Why does CBC mep compliance matter?

California Building Code (Title 24 Part 2) compliance for mep drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching CBC mep issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
