Regulated Builds

Regulated Builds is an AI-powered compliance platform designed to navigate the complex regulatory landscape of the construction industry. By digitizing and structuring dense legal requirements, the platform provides construction firms with instant, grounded answers to safety and permitting questions, reducing legal risk and project delays.

Construction compliance (OSHA, Fire Code, etc.) is buried in thousands of pages of regulations and obscure "Letters of Interpretation" (LOIs). Relying on general-purpose AI often leads to "hallucinations" that can result in life-safety violations or costly fines.

I developed a high-precision Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline to ensure all AI responses are grounded in official law:

Data Engineering: Created a custom database of OSHA regulations and LOIs from Excel/PDF sources.

Vector Infrastructure: Processed, embedded, and indexed data into a Vector Database for semantic search.

Intelligent Retrieval: Built a retrieval logic that fetches specific OSHA clauses along with their associated LOIs based on user prompts.

Contextual Synthesis: Integrated an LLM to summarize the retrieved raw legal text into concise, actionable safety guidance for field use.

Violation Detection: Upload site documentation to automatically flag potential non-compliance.

Clause Filtering: Deep-dive analysis for specific high-risk areas like fall protection and PPE.

Comparative Analysis: Side-by-side comparison of raw regulatory data versus AI-synthesized summaries for verification.

Phase 2: Expansion into Fire Code parsing and predictive violation modeling.

Phase 3: Workflow automation via E-permit APIs.

Phase 4: An "AI Superintendent Agent" capable of performing full site scans against regional requirements.
