ABOUT CODARA

Building code shouldn't slow down good design.

Codara helps Ontario building professionals work through key Building Code requirements and calculations with greater clarity and less repetitive work.

WHY CODARA EXISTS

Built from experience on both sides of the permit process.

Codara grew from years of working with the Ontario Building Code in private architectural practice and municipal building permit review.

Preparing permit drawings meant moving between Code provisions, calculations, spreadsheets, notes, and project information. Reviewing applications revealed the same challenge from the other side: important requirements could be difficult to find, connect, calculate, and communicate clearly.

Codara was created to make that part of the work more structured and efficient.

OUR APPROACH

Built around how professionals actually work.

Make complex requirements easier to work through.

Connection

Efficiency

Reduce repetitive searching, calculation, and data entry.

Professional Judgment

Support professional judgment rather than trying to replace it.

WHAT'S NEXT

We're just getting started.

Codara is starting with focused Building Code tools and connected project workflows. As it grows, the goal remains the same: make code analysis more structured, connected, and efficient.

Our goal isn't to add more software to your workflow.

It's to remove the unnecessary work from it.
