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.

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 —— BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE CODE —— CodeCan is built with input from contractors, architects, engineers, and building officials across Canada. We ship updates fast and listen to the trades that use it every day. —— PRIVACY —— Your projects and saved citations are yours.
