What is Code Buddy for Mechanical?

Code Buddy can be equipped with the mechanical, fuel gas, and process piping standards you work to — the IMC, IFGC, and ASME codes among them — and then helps contractors navigate requirements for process piping, boiler installations, pressure vessels, and gas fuel systems, using AI chat, Vision AI reviews, and jurisdiction-aware code lookup.

Results are AI-generated and should be reviewed by a qualified professional.

The landscape

The Mechanical Compliance Landscape

4+ codes

mechanical contractors typically cross-reference (IMC, IPC, IFGC, IECC)

ICC

5%

of total project cost is typically direct rework — much from failed inspections

CII

19%

of a knowledge worker's week spent searching for the right information

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is mechanical different from HVAC on Code Buddy?

Mechanical covers the broader scope — process piping, boilers, pressure vessels, gas fuel systems, and industrial equipment installations under the mechanical, fuel gas, and process piping standards you work to. HVAC focuses on comfort systems, ductwork, refrigerant, and energy code requirements.

Can mechanical contractors review piping with Code Buddy?

Yes. The Vision AI camera evaluates piping installations for support spacing, insulation, clearances, and connections against the mechanical and process piping standards your account is equipped with.

Does Code Buddy cover gas piping codes?

Code Buddy can be equipped with the fuel gas code your jurisdiction adopted — the IFGC in most places — along with its local amendments, and then answers gas pipe sizing, installation, testing, and appliance connection questions.
