Symbium and UpCodes Partner to Democratize Regulations and Propel Permitting Innovation
SAN FRANCISCO — December 3, 2024 — Symbium, the pioneering instant permitting platform, and UpCodes, a compliance and product research platform, are thrilled to announce a new partnership focused on advancing accessibility, transparency, and innovation in building regulations and permitting processes. This partnership is starting with the integration of UpCodes’ online code library as Symbium’s primary regulation reference source.
Symbium Integrates UpCodes as the Primary Library of Regulations
Moving forward, and in line with both of the tenets above, Symbium will exclusively utilize UpCodes’ code library as its reference source for all instant permitting experiences, reinforcing UpCodes’ role as a leading platform for building code research. Symbium’s Complaw® technology seamlessly translates complex building codes and regulatory requirements into real-time compliance insights, enabling contractors, designers, and property owners to visualize project feasibility and secure instant permit approval.
Unique to Symbium’s instant permitting platform is the ability to show real-time compliance indicators as users scope their projects, giving users immediate feedback on code requirements, potential violations, and options for compliance. UpCodes complements this by offering an up-to-date code library with 6M+ code sections and additional tools to help users find, interpret, and apply the code effectively.
“Symbium and UpCodes maintain a common mission of democratizing regulations for the benefit of the public. Combining UpCodes’ extensive code library with Symbium’s instant compliance verification rings in a new era of transparency and efficiency,” said Leila Banijamali, Symbium CEO. “This partnership allows anyone to build with confidence, knowing they have full regulatory clarity from start to finish.”
“Partnering with a like-minded partner like Symbium, who shares our vision of making compliance more accessible and efficient, is a natural next step,” said Scott Reynolds, UpCodes CEO & Co-Founder. “Together, we’re helping professionals navigate the regulatory landscape with robust tools and open access to codes”.
By streamlining compliance, reducing permit wait times, and making regulations accessible, Symbium and UpCodes are transforming the building industry, one project at a time.
