NEC MEP compliance check

Helonic is an AI construction drawing analysis platform for mep teams checking National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) on construction drawings.

Helonic checks mep construction drawings against National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) to detect violations, missing requirements, and code compliance issues before they delay a permit or hit the field.

What is National Electrical Code (NFPA 70)?

The US standard for electrical installations including wiring, overcurrent protection, grounding, and equipment. Adopted by most jurisdictions as the basis for electrical code enforcement.

Scope

Electrical installations in all building types

Editions

2023 NEC, 2020, 2017, 2014

Applicability

Adopted in nearly all US jurisdictions. Some states lag by one or two editions.

Why does NEC mep compliance matter?

National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) 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 NEC mep issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).

How does Helonic check NEC compliance?

Upload your PDF drawings

Upload your mep PDF drawings. No BIM models or 3D software required. Helonic works with the 2D PDFs your team already uses.

Purpose-built construction AI

Helonic's AI is trained specifically to review construction drawings against NEC requirements. Domain-specific training catches issues that generic AI tools miss.

Exact issue locations

Every NEC compliance issue is tagged with the exact page and coordinates on your drawings, plus severity ratings (high, medium, low) so you can prioritize.
