Delightful Search
Lightning fast! Typo tolerant. Full text search across our codes library or within a single code document. Have a conversation with the codes using our AI Assistant.
Powerful Annotation Tools
Add bookmarks, comments, and highlights to any item of the code. Annotations are associated with the current project and can be exported per project.
Access Anywhere
Trax Codes delivers a digital version of the building code via a web and mobile applications, making regulations accessible on-site or in the office.
Projects
Organize your Comments and Bookmarks into Projects.
Set the project location with an address or draw an area on the map. Share the project by inviting colleagues or clients to join. Use Bookmarks and Comments to collaborate to develop a shared understanding of project compliance. Export your project information as a PDF.
Features
Project Information
Add GIS data by entering the location or address of your project. Collect bookmarks and comments in a project, and share the project with others to collaborate.
Comments
Add, edit and review your own notes on any section — synchronized for access from all of your devices. Invite others to join the project to add their comments.
Team Collaboration
For each project, invite colleagues to discuss regulations and collaborate in real time. You can even invite people who do not have a Trax account to join and collaborate.
Compare Codes
Use the Compare Document tool to see changes when a code update is published. For example, from March to April 2022, the OBC changed several stairs sections.
Copy to Clipboard
Each section shows a context menu to create a bookmark, comment, copy a link to the clipboard, copy the item’s content to the clipboard, share the item using the system share function, or to report a problem with the item content.
Integrations
Say goodbye to switching between multiple platforms. Our plugins are designed to simplify your workflow by bringing Trax Codes into the tools you already use.
