When is a second escape stair required?
Cited answerSources checked
The requirement depends on building use, height, occupancy and the applicable guidance. FireRegs checks the relevant provisions and returns the conditions with direct citations.

FireRegs
Fire compliance knowledge, made faster to interrogate and easier to evidence.
FireRegs is our first Buildregs product: an AI-assisted compliance tool designed to help professionals navigate fire-safety guidance and standards. It returns focused answers with citations so users can verify the source, context and limitations.

Engineering collaborationRyan & Associates Engineers
Internal tools for engineering knowledge and workflows.
We are working with Ryan & Associates Engineers to identify high-value internal use cases and build AI tools around the way their engineering team actually works.
How we work
From useful problem to working software.
Start small enough to learn quickly, but build on foundations that can support a production tool.
- 01Discover
Map the workflow, knowledge and commercial value.
- 02Prove
Test the highest-risk assumptions with a working pilot.
- 03Build
Develop the tool around real users, data and controls.
- 04Operate
Support, measure and improve it as the need evolves.
Where we add value
AI applied to the work your team already does.
The best opportunities are rarely generic chatbots. They sit inside technical questions, document-heavy processes and repeatable decisions where speed and traceability matter.
Find the right answer across regulations, standards and company guidance.
Give teams a faster route to relevant source material without losing the evidence trail.
Support repeatable checks before work reaches final review.
Turn established review criteria into structured, auditable workflows for project teams.
Extract, compare and organise technical information.
Reduce time spent moving information between reports, schedules, specifications and systems.
Make hard-won organisational knowledge easier to access.
Capture approved methods, precedents and expert guidance before they remain trapped in inboxes.
Surface gaps and items requiring professional attention.
Use AI as a first-pass assistant while keeping review, accountability and sign-off with people.
Give clients faster access to project and compliance information.
Create controlled tools that improve responsiveness without exposing unrestricted internal data.
Built environment focus
Sector knowledge changes what gets built.
Construction AI has to work with technical language, fragmented information, professional responsibility and regulation that varies by jurisdiction. We start with that context—not with a generic technology stack.

Responsible delivery
Useful AI needs controls, not just capability.
Users should be able to inspect the material behind a technical answer.
We design around an agreed use case, approved information and clear limits.
The tool supports professional judgment; it does not claim to replace it.
Pilots are evaluated against representative questions and expected outputs.
Common questions
Before we start.
Do we need a fully defined AI project?
No. We can begin by mapping where time, knowledge or commercial value is being lost and identify a sensible first use case.
Can you work with confidential company information?
Yes. Data access, permissions, hosting and retention are considered before sensitive information is introduced.
Do you build pilots or production systems?
Both. A focused pilot can establish value and feasibility; successful pilots can then become supported tools.
Is Buildregs limited to compliance tools?
No. Compliance is our specialist centre of gravity, but we also build internal knowledge, document and workflow tools.
Where do you work?
Buildregs is based in Galway and works across Ireland and the United Kingdom.
