I was thrilled when I accidentally discovered UpCodes a few months ago. Before, I had to consult either actual bound books, certain PDFs, or cumbersome online versions. One of my favorite features is that I can copy and paste without having annoying extra line breaks, paragraph marks, etc.

UpCodes has saved us a lot of time, and its search capability makes it much easier to perform a comprehensive code review of our projects. And to top it all off, the staff is extremely responsive when we have a question or request a minor update. I look forward to trying the additional features!

Not having to worry about my code library has been a massive weight off my shoulders. The platform is streamlined and makes it easy for my team to collaborate. I’ve found the interface friendly to navigate and jump between section of the code.

Saving sections, commenting, and organizing our content around dedicated projects has also been a massive help. Remarkable how much of our code reviews are applicable across the board. Have been able to save a lot of time in that process from cribbing off old projects. We are building up our in-house code knowledge!

UpCodes removes the burden of managing updates. I’m much more comfortable knowing my team is working off the most up-to-date set of codes. We are based in New York – like a lot of jurisdictions the updates are frequent – these are critical to our workflow. We can reduce any confusion at the outset of a project. We have been pleased being able to eradicate the potential for confusion right from the start of any project. Can’t imagine going back to the books!

Searching and saving my sections has saved a tremendous amount of time in my projects. Previously our teams would use a haphazard array of solutions to patch together code for a given project. We can cut across all the codes in our search, surfacing the relevant requirements for any area of the project.

The UpCodes team has been quite responsive for codes I need in projects and even build out a feature I needed quite badly.
