Pre-design feasibility without a code consultant retainer.
Property developers and acquisitions teams use CodesWise to do early feasibility on a site, before a consultant is on retainer. How tall can you go, what construction type are you locked into, when do sprinklers kick in, and where does the math break.
What it actually changes
You are evaluating a site for a new mid-rise. You need to know how high you can build, what construction type the height locks you into, and whether sprinklers turn the financial model. Your usual consultant is on a different file. The acquisition committee wants a number tomorrow.
Where CodesWise earns its keep
Height and area limits
Construction-type ladders, occupancy combinations, and the height-and-area trade-offs that shape the program before you spend money on a SD package.
Sprinkler trigger thresholds
When sprinklers become mandatory and what they unlock. Often the single biggest line in the proforma.
Construction type and fire-resistance
What rating you need for the structure you are imagining, and what gets you there at lower cost.
Site constraints
Firefighter-access and hydrant requirements, fire-department-connection limits, exterior wall ratings driven by limiting distance to property line.
