Construction rework costs Canada $23 billion a year. Most violations are found after the walls close. ARCIS finds them in real time — while you can still fix them for hundreds, not thousands.
That's when a $200 fix becomes a $12,000 disaster. The Canadian construction industry loses billions every year to rework, delays, and failed inspections. ARCIS eliminates violations at the source — in real time, during installation.
Every capability ARCIS gives you — from the moment you put on the glasses to the permit approval — is built into one wearable system. Nothing manual. Nothing missed. Nothing left for the inspector to find.
Your building's digital model overlaid on physical space via live SLAM tracking. Electrical in blue. Plumbing in teal. HVAC in amber. Structural in purple. Switch layers by voice. See inside every wall, ceiling, and floor — before and after it's closed. Nothing is hidden from you again.
Every element checked against the correct provincial code the moment it's installed. Pass confirms green in AR on the element itself. Violations flag red with the exact code clause and measured shortfall. By the time the job is done, every element is checked, confirmed, and logged — before any inspector arrives.
Your BIM contains every material, dimension, and quantity. ARCIS extracts them all — every linear metre of conduit, every fitting, every pipe length — organized by trade, room, and floor. Walk an empty site before work starts and leave with the full shopping list. Add unit costs and it becomes a quote ready to send to your client or supplier.
GPS knows your address. ARCIS knows what was built. It detects which permits are required, compiles the full bilingual FR/EN compliance package — photos, code citations, measurements, worker confirmations, digital signatures — and submits directly to the AHJ e-permitting system. No paper. No counter visit. No manual document prep. Ever.
Four steps. The worker is only responsible for one of them.
Every competitor was built for a desk. ARCIS is the only solution built for the person doing the work — and built all the way through to the permit office.

First inspection with ARCIS: zero violations. The inspector asked what changed. One job paid for the hardware.
Quebec code in French, automatic from GPS. No other tool even tries to do this. My Quebec crews adopted it in week one.
Half our sites have no signal. This runs full compliance in a basement without WiFi. Nothing else does that.
