Stop flipping pages. Start building.

CodeCan reads the Canadian building codes for you. Ask a question in plain English—get the exact section, the original quote, and a source link, in seconds. NBC 2020 plus provincial amendments, built in.

—— WHAT YOU GET ——

• Plain-English search across the National Building Code (NBC 2020)
• Province-aware results: AB, BC, and ON amendments applied on top of NBC
• Every answer ships with the exact section number, the original code text quoted verbatim, and a source link you can show an inspector
• Save citations to projects so they're ready at permit review or inspection
• Works on the jobsite, in the truck, and at the desk

—— HOW IT WORKS ——

1. Ask a building code question the way you'd ask a coworker.
2. Get the cited section, the exact quote, and a practical takeaway.
3. Save it to a project. Pull it up when an inspector asks.

—— WHO IT'S FOR ——

• General contractors and trades
• Custom and production home builders
• Architects, designers, and drafters
• Structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers
• Building officials and inspectors
• Estimators, project managers, and the rest of the AEC team

—— WHY CODECAN ——

• Built for Canada. NBC 2020 plus AB, BC, and ON amendments — not a US tool wearing a maple leaf.
• Grounded in the actual code text. No made-up references, no hallucinated sections. Every answer points back to the source.
• Defensible by design. Citations include the section number and the original quote, so you can verify and stand behind every decision.
• Field-ready. Designed for one hand, one glove, and one minute between framing decisions.
• Hours back, every week. Stop scrolling PDFs and flipping code books.

—— USE CASES ——

• Quick lookups during framing, mechanical rough-in, or electrical rough-in
• Pre-permit research before submitting drawings
• Resolving disagreements with subs, GCs, or building officials
• Onboarding new staff on Canadian code requirements
• Confirming fire, structural, energy, or accessibility provisions
• Comparing how a provincial amendment changes the NBC base text
