Use AI to catch building code violations as you design, and stop losing time, fees, and trust to plan check revisions.

Join the Kestrel Labs waitlist to access the first AI that translates building code, zoning, and local amendments into real-time design guidance. Catch violations as you draw—before they cost you time, money, and client trust. Architects who join early get exclusive access to AI-powered code checks inside their workflow, helping them submit cleaner drawings faster and move through permitting without the back-and-forth.
