Structured building code research—
without the guesswork
StratumCodes turns vague project questions into clear research paths, code domains, and memo-ready summaries. Built for architects, permit coordinators, and preconstruction teams.
No account required · Local storage only · No compliance claims
One question. One structured output.
Ask a real project question. Get code domains, assumptions, open questions, next steps, and a memo draft—ready to share.
For a mixed-use retail space under IBC 2021, egress requirements depend on occupancy classification, area, and occupant load. Retail occupancies (Group M) typically require at least two exits once occupant load exceeds 49. Verify local Chicago amendments with the AHJ.
Everything a research session needs
From the first question to a sharable memo draft—StratumCodes structures the entire research workflow.
Structured Research Paths
Every question produces a clear map of likely code domains, IBC chapters, and jurisdiction considerations—not a wall of disclaimers.
Assumption Tracking
Key assumptions that need AHJ verification are surfaced automatically, so nothing slips through the cracks on the way to permit.
Memo-Ready Output
Each session generates a structured research memo you can copy, share, or print—formatted for internal review or client delivery.
Project-Based Workflow
Organize research by project. Every question stays in context—location, project type, issue area, and deliverable type all inform the output.
Open Questions Surface
Unresolved issues are flagged clearly in every response, so your team knows exactly what still needs coordination or further investigation.
Honest Research Framing
StratumCodes never fabricates citations or issues compliance verdicts. All output is labeled as research support—not legal advice.
