AEC Tech Journeys, the interview series from Mayur Mistry on the people building technology for architecture, engineering, and construction, sat down with Kestrel Co-Founder & CEO Marian Pulford for a 14-minute conversation: “How Kestrel Labs Is Automating Building Code Compliance.”
The conversation traces an unconventional route into building technology: from art and real estate to founding an AI company for building code compliance. The through-line is the problem itself. Building regulations shape every project, but the knowledge of how they apply lives in dense books and long careers, and checking a design against them has stayed stubbornly manual while the rest of the design process moved into the model.
That is the gap Kestrel was founded to close: making building regulations accessible and efficient by putting the check where the design decisions happen. Kestrel Compliance Analysis runs a review against the codes for a project and jurisdiction in about 30 seconds, inside Revit, with every violation tied to a model element and cited to the exact code section.
