Introduction
Saudi Arabia is moving toward safer, more sustainable, and innovative built environments. The Saudi Building Code (SBC) is the foundational reference for quality and safety.
Despite ongoing efforts, many practitioners still struggle to quickly access and precisely interpret technical and regulatory requirements. A-Code was created to change that — an interactive, AI-powered system to understand the SBC and regulator requirements.
To be the trusted, intelligent reference for practitioners across the Kingdom, unifying access to regulatory and technical references in an interactive digital format.
Enable smart, comprehensive compliance for the engineering and municipal sector via a digital platform that improves execution quality, boosts compliance efficiency, and reduces errors from ambiguity or conflicting guidance.
Strategic Objectives
Project Scope & Phases
Build an assistant that understands SBC chapters (architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, etc.). Natural-language Q&A with precise, simplified answers linked to official SBC articles. Launch an interactive chat for firms and government entities.
Integrate MOMRAH requirements and municipal variations (Riyadh, Jeddah, Eastern Province…). Unified search across regulatory references. Compare requirements across municipalities and discover local exceptions.
APIs for government and municipal platforms. AI to analyze conflicts/duplication across requirements. Auto-generated compliance reports and dashboards for national compliance insights.
