What we’re seeing across live projects

This summer, Kestrel has been running thousands of code checks on active Revit models from SD through CDs. Here are a few of the things we’re checking along the way:

SD — Occupancy + occupant load
Occupancy classification · occupant load · number of exits
DD — Egress + life safety
Travel distance · exit capacity · fire separation
CD — Doors + accessibility
Clear width · maneuvering clearances · door and wall ratings

Timing matters. An occupancy issue in SD may be a quick correction; carry it into CDs and it can change egress, plumbing, doors, and everything designed around it.

Kestrel ranks No. 1 among Colorado startups

Kestrel took the No. 1 spot among Colorado startups on the Q3 2026 Colorado Startups Leaderboard and ranked No. 14 among all Colorado companies founded in the past decade.

We incorporated Kestrel less than 18 months ago, so seeing the company at the top of the statewide startup ranking is a meaningful milestone for our team.
