The Standards Library gives you the full text of the building standards and codes your organization has access to, searchable by clause and readable right alongside the calculators that reference them. You’ll find it under Standards in the left-hand navigation, between Builder and Integrate. No separate login or setup step is required; if your organization has access to a standard, it appears here automatically.

  • Published and Updated dates
  • Amendment notes, where relevant (for example, “Includes Amendment 1”)
  • A document type chip, such as Full Standard

A search box sits at the top of the page. It searches the actual clause and table content of every standard you have access to, not just titles. See Searching Standards and Clauses.

What’s included in your access
