Kestrel Labs

Kestrel Labs builds building code compliance software that runs inside Revit. Architects design in BIM. But compliance is still handled outside the model — reading PDFs, marking up drawings, and catching issues late in plan review. Kestrel moves building code into the model. The system evaluates BIM geometry directly against jurisdiction-specific requirements as the design evolves, mapping issues to the exact elements in the model and linking every result back to the underlying code section. This changes both the timing and architecture of compliance itself. Instead of reviewing drawings after decisions are already made, compliance becomes part of the design environment from the beginning. Runs inside Revit.~30-second checks. Project-specific, fully cited results. Teams use Kestrel to catch issues earlier, reduce rework, and move toward permit with fewer surprises. We’re building the structured compliance data layer for the built environment.
