What problem does it solve?
Construction engineers frequently miss applicable building code, accessibility, and regulatory requirements when reviewing project specifications, leading to compliance risks, costly rework, and project delays. This skill automates scope-specific code gap analysis to identify missing requirements early in the design process.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scope-specific gap analysis: Extracts all code citations and requirements from project specs and drawings, researches applicable requirements for the project's jurisdiction and scope, and surfaces the exact delta between what is required and what is already addressed.
- Regulatory overlay detection: Flags non-building-code requirements from authorities like health departments, fire marshals, and ADA that apply to the scope, which are often missed in standard code reviews.
- Structured reporting: Generates formatted gap reports with severity levels, confidence ratings, and recommended actions tailored for engineers and licensed design professionals. For example, an engineer working on a kitchen renovation can use this skill to check if their resinous flooring specification misses slip resistance, VOC limits, and health department requirements.
Quick Start
Use the code-researcher skill to run a gap analysis for the resinous flooring scope in the current construction project to identify missing code requirements.
