Ichi

What is Ichi?

Ichi is an AI-powered code compliance and automation platform built for architecture firms.

The platform helps architects navigate complex building codes, automate time-consuming construction administration tasks, and strengthen QA/QC across the entire project lifecycle—from early design through construction.

Designed specifically for the realities of architectural practice, Ichi augments professional expertise by automating previously manual processes, improving accuracy, and minimizing costly downstream rework. The platform supports both project-level execution and firm-wide knowledge sharing, helping teams work more efficiently while maintaining accountability and control.

Key Features

AI Code Compliance Reviews

Ichi enables architects to quickly search, interpret, and validate applicable building codes and jurisdictional requirements. AI-assisted guidance is presented alongside authoritative source language, allowing teams to confidently apply code requirements during design, documentation, and review—without relying on generic or unverified AI outputs.

Automated Construction Administration

The platform helps automate and support manual construction administration workflows, including navigating construction documents, responding to RFIs, and reviewing submittals. By reducing the time spent on repetitive coordination tasks, Ichi helps keep projects moving while easing the administrative burden on architectural teams.

QA/QC at Scale

Ichi strengthens QA/QC by assisting with plan set reviews, cross-sheet consistency checks, and document validation across large and complex drawing packages. This allows architects to identify issues earlier, improve document quality, and reduce risk prior to submission or construction.

Institutional Knowledge Management

Ichi acts as a living knowledge base for architecture firms. Project-specific decisions, jurisdictional nuances, and internal best practices can be captured, shared, and reused across teams and over time—helping firms preserve institutional knowledge as staff, projects, and regulations change.

Who Should Use Ichi?

Ichi is designed for:

• Architecture firms working across multiple jurisdictions
  
  

• Design teams navigating complex or evolving code requirements
  
  

• Firms seeking to reduce QA/QC risk and rework
  
  

• Architects managing heavy construction administration workloads
  
  

• Practices looking to capture and scale internal expertise
  
  

While built with architects at the center, Ichi also supports collaboration with engineers and contractors by improving clarity, consistency, and access to critical project information.

Why Ichi?

Ichi is purpose-built for the architectural profession. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, it is designed to operate within the constraints of real-world practice—prioritizing accuracy, traceability, and professional responsibility.

By combining AI-driven code compliance, QA/QC automation, construction administration support, and firm-wide knowledge management in a single platform, Ichi helps architects spend less time on rote tasks and more time on high-value design and decision-making. The result is better documentation, smoother project delivery, and more resilient architectural practices.
