Quick Summary
- InspectMind AI works globally—not just in the US
- Upload your local building codes and standards (any country)
- Core coordination checking works on any construction documents
- Currently supporting projects in NZ, Australia, UK, Canada, Europe, Middle East
A common question we receive: "Does InspectMind work in my country?" The answer is yes. While we're headquartered in San Francisco, InspectMind AI is designed to work with construction documents and building codes from anywhere in the world.
This guide explains how international teams use InspectMind, which countries we currently support, and how to configure reviews against your local building codes and standards.
What Works Globally
InspectMind's core document review capabilities work on any construction documents, regardless of where the project is located. These capabilities are universal because construction document issues are universal:
Coordination Checking
Cross-discipline coordination issues—architectural vs structural, MEP vs architectural— exist in every country. AI catches these regardless of language or code system.
Spec-to-Drawing Alignment
Material callouts on drawings that don't match specifications cause RFIs everywhere. AI cross-references these regardless of measurement system or product naming.
Dimension Consistency
Plans, sections, and details that don't match cause field problems in every market. AI checks dimensional consistency across sheets.
Schedule Verification
Door schedules, equipment schedules, and panel schedules need to match what's shown on drawings—this is true whether you're in Auckland or Amsterdam.
Countries We've Worked With
We've reviewed construction documents for projects in multiple countries. While this list grows regularly, here are regions where we have active experience:
Current Coverage
Don't see your country listed? That doesn't mean we can't help. If you have PDF construction documents and can provide your local codes as PDFs, we can typically configure a review. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
How We Work with Local Building Codes
Building codes vary significantly by country and jurisdiction. Here's how we handle code compliance checking for international projects:
1. You Provide the Codes
For international projects, you tell us which codes and standards apply to your project. You can upload these as PDFs—New Zealand Building Code, Australian NCC, UK Building Regulations, local authority amendments, etc.
2. We Configure the Review
Our team configures the AI review to check against your specific requirements. This includes the primary building code, relevant standards (structural, fire, accessibility), and any project-specific requirements.
3. You Get Traceable Results
Every issue found is referenced back to the specific code section, drawing, or specification that's involved—so your team can verify findings against your local requirements.
Building Codes We've Worked With
| Region | Building Codes |
|---|---|
| New Zealand | NZBC, NZS standards, local council requirements |
| Australia | NCC (BCA), AS/NZS standards, state variations |
| United Kingdom | Building Regulations, British Standards, Approved Documents |
| Canada | NBC, provincial codes (OBC, BCBC, etc.), CSA standards |
| Europe | Eurocodes, national annexes, EN standards |
| Middle East | Dubai Municipality codes, SASO, local authority requirements |
| United States | IBC, state codes, local amendments, ASCE, NFPA, ADA |
Metric vs Imperial
InspectMind handles both metric and imperial measurement systems. Whether your drawings are in millimeters or inches, we can process them. The AI understands dimensional relationships and catches inconsistencies regardless of the unit system used.
Mixed Units? No Problem
Some projects (especially those involving international consultants) mix metric and imperial across different disciplines. AI handles this and can even flag inconsistent unit usage as a potential coordination issue.
Getting Started for International Projects
Here's the typical process for international teams:
Book a Demo
Tell us about your project, location, and applicable codes.
Provide Code Documents
Share PDFs of local codes and standards that apply to your project.
Run a Pilot
Start with one project to see real issues on your actual drawings.
Review & Expand
Evaluate results and configure ongoing reviews for your portfolio.
Common Questions from International Teams
What about language?
Our AI processes construction documents in English. If your documents are in another language, we can discuss options—but English-language documents work best today.
Is data stored locally?
Data is currently stored on AWS infrastructure in the US. For enterprise customers with specific data residency requirements, we can discuss options.
What about time zones?
Our team is based in the US but we support international clients. Document processing is automated, and we schedule calls to accommodate time zone differences.
Conclusion
Construction document issues are universal—coordination problems, spec-drawing conflicts, and dimensional inconsistencies exist in every market. InspectMind AI works with construction documents from anywhere in the world, configured against your local building codes and standards.
Whether you're an architectural practice in New Zealand, a contractor in Australia, or a developer in the UK, we can help you catch issues before they become expensive field problems.
