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.
X-ray BIM overlay. Real-time code compliance. Automatic permit submission. All in a pair of glasses you wear on site.
A $200 fix becomes a $12,000 disaster. Canada's construction industry loses billions annually to rework, delays, and failed inspections. ARCIS eliminates violations at the source — in real time, during installation.
Every capability ARCIS gives you — from glasses on to permit approved — is built into one wearable system. Nothing manual. Nothing missed. Nothing left for the inspector to find.
Your building's digital model appears as glowing colour-coded layers anchored to 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.
Every element checked against the correct provincial code as it's installed. Pass glows green in AR directly on the element. Violations flash 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 and quantity. ARCIS extracts them all automatically — every linear metre of conduit, every fitting, every pipe, every sheet of drywall — organized by trade, room, and floor. Walk an empty site and leave with the full shopping list. Add unit costs and it becomes an itemized quote for your client or supplier.
GPS knows your address. ARCIS knows what was built. It detects every permit required, compiles the full bilingual FR/EN compliance package — photos, code citations, measurements, worker confirmations, digital signatures — and submits directly to the AHJ's e-permitting system. No paper. No counter visit. No manual 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 — 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 week one.
Half our sites have no signal. This runs full compliance in a basement without WiFi. Nothing else does that.
