Frequently asked questions

A Saudi platform that checks engineering drawings against the Saudi Building Code (SBC) with a fixed rules engine, flagging non-compliance before submission to the authority.

No. Findings come from a deterministic engine based on code requirements — the same drawing always produces the same findings. AI only explains and prioritizes; a licensed engineer certifies.

CAD drawings in DWG and DXF, plus requirement documents in PDF for the knowledge base.

Current scope includes SBC 201 (general building requirements) and SBC 801 (fire protection), with the digitised corpus expanding continuously.

No. Emtithal proposes and detects; official certification remains with a licensed engineer registered with the Saudi Council of Engineers.

Verdicts come from a fixed rules engine, not an AI model, and the drawing file is never sent to a language model. We keep your data and drawings in our AWS accounts in Frankfurt (European Union). The assistant is optional and works only with your consent; it sends element names, measurements and results, never the drawing file, to Claude on AWS Bedrock in the European Union.

It means the drawing alone is not enough to judge the requirement, so an engineer needs to look at it; do not treat it as met until then. Emtithal never assumes compliance: what it cannot judge shows as 'Could not be judged' rather than as met.
