Building codes have evolved over the years and have become comprehensive regulations governing construction projects, ensuring safety, health, and environmental standards are met.
Building code software, building plan software, and building permit software have revolutionized how codes are applied and enforced, enhancing efficiency and compliance within the industry.
Factors like modern regulations' complexity and faster project approvals have driven the adoption of technology in building codes.
India's Maharashtra and Karnataka states are at the forefront of this technological shift, with about 65% and 60% adoption rates of building code software, respectively.
The positive impact of adopting building code software is multifaceted, including quicker approvals, enhanced compliance, transparency, and cost savings.
As technology evolves, building codes will likely become even more sophisticated, with the integration of AI, BIM, and other emerging technologies.
