The enterprise plan lists a dedicated support representative plus tailored onboarding and team training. No support hours, SLA or self-serve channels (help centre, ticket portal, phone/email support) are published; the site routes questions through demo and contact forms.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Bottom line
CodeComply is a permitting and building-code compliance platform serving both sides of the desk: AEC design teams and municipal plan reviewers. It vectorizes PDF plan sets into structured building data, runs checks against ICC/IBC, NFPA, ADA, FHA and local amendments, and produces cited findings. Products cover design-stage compliance, pre-submittal precheck and AI plan review. Single-user licenses start at $250 per month; enterprise pricing is volume-based. It is the official plan review tool inside CivicPlus and carries a TXShare endorsement.
Frequently asked questions
What does CodeComply cost?
The vendor publishes a license-based plan for solo practitioners and small studios starting at $250 per month for a single user, with unlimited projects and reviews and access to the AI design and compliance features. The enterprise plan for firms and multi-project teams is volume-based and priced around team size, and includes tailored onboarding, team training and a dedicated support representative. There is no published self-serve checkout; pricing is confirmed through a demo.
How long does implementation take?
Setup is described as streamlined, with users able to get started in minutes by uploading a plan set and running a Readiness Check. Enterprise customers receive tailored onboarding and team training, so the real timeline depends on how many designers or reviewers need training and how many local amendments or project-specific checks must be configured.
Which building codes does it check?
The vendor states coverage for ICC/IBC, NFPA, ADA and FHA plus jurisdiction-specific local amendments. Custom Checks let a firm or jurisdiction layer in local amendments, client standards or project-type requirements and run them automatically alongside base code coverage.
Does it replace plan reviewers or architects?
No. CodeComply positions itself as a design partner rather than a gatekeeper, and as an assistant for review teams rather than a replacement for expert judgment. Findings are cited, fixes are suggested rather than only flagged, and the vendor states that every answer is cited and every decision stays with the professional.
Is customer data used to train AI models?
The privacy policy says usage data is collected to understand and improve the Services, including to teach and refine the machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques used by the Services. That policy, as published, describes no opt-out from this use, so buyers with strict data-processing terms should confirm the current position in writing before signing.
What integrations does CodeComply offer?
CodeComply is the official plan review tool inside CivicPlus, which the vendor says is used by more than 850 local governments, and it is endorsed by TXShare for cooperative purchasing in Texas. It ingests PDF plan sets and states it works regardless of the jurisdiction's own tools. No named integrations with Salesforce, AWS, Slack, Microsoft 365 or Snowflake were published on the vendor pages reviewed.
