LLM-QueryBC: An LLM-Based Regulation Query System for Textual and Tabular Information in Building Codes

Abstract

AbstractThe process of querying building codes has long been time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring extensive manual effort to repeatedly consult and confirm regulations throughout design and review phases. Existing regulation query systems are ...Practical ApplicationsThis research introduces an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered system that fundamentally transforms how architects, engineers, and building officials navigate complex building code compliance during design and approval processes. ...
