Why This Tool Exists
Building-code research is slow and easy to get wrong. Teams comb through building, fire, mechanical, electrical, energy, and accessibility codes plus state amendments by hand, while the codes themselves can be difficult to interpret. A missed requirement can surface late as costly rework.
Melt Code returns project-specific requirements in minutes, with step-by-step reasoning and direct citations to the exact code sections. Its code decision trees map complex interpretations into multiple cited compliance paths for designers to evaluate.
