Test Your Model for Accessibility Compliance
The Compliance Checker for Accessibility helps design teams validate their BIM models against Singapore’s Code on Accessibility 2025 — faster, smarter, and with less manual effort.
Early Design Checks.
Better Project Outcomes.
A Smarter Way to Catch Design Issues Early
This Compliance Checker for Accessibility is a rule-based validation tool developed by AcePLP and Solibri, with support from Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority and contributions from Plannerly and Arup. It checks IFC models for compliance with Singapore’s Code on Accessibility 2025, helping project teams identify issues early before they lead to costly revisions.
Built on openBIM standards, the Compliance Checker works with IFC models exported from platforms such as Revit, Archicad, OpenBuildings, and Tekla, as long as they are exported reliably to IFC. While its current focus is on accessibility compliance, future version may expand to support additional codes and regulations.
Why It Matters
Faster Checks. Fewer Errors. Greater Confidence.
Automate checks based on the Code on Accessibility 2025
Automatically evaluate models against the latest accessibility code using predefined rules mapped to regulatory requirements.
Works with any IFC-compliant model
Compatible with models from Revit, Archicad, Tekla (and more!)
Save time and reduce reliance on manual QA
Catch design issues early without repetitive manual reviews, freeing up time for higher-value design and coordination work.
Built with BIM best practices and efficient design in mind
Designed to interpret structured data and spatial logic, so teams can make decisions that affect compliance quicker.
Improve consistency across project teams
Standardize how accessibility requirements are interpreted and applied across disciplines, teams, and consultants.
Get feedback while you design, not after submission
Identify non-compliant conditions before documentation or submission, reducing redesign cycles and regulatory delays.
Use real code clauses, not vague rules
Each result is mapped directly to the Accessibility Code 2025, so users can understand why a check failed, not just that it failed.
Confidential and secure model checking
Your model data is never stored or shared. Files are used only for checking during the session and deleted immediately after.
No special plugins or installations needed
The checker runs as a cloud-based web service — accessible anytime, with no software setup or licensing barriers
How It Works
Built on openBIM. Powered by rule logic.
The Compliance Checker reads IFC files and applies a series of rule-based validations aligned with Singapore’s regulatory requirements. Powered by Solibri’s logic engine, it identifies design elements that do not meet regulatory requirements, enabling teams to focus only on what needs attention.
Each rule is mapped to a specific clause in the Code. For example, it checks that every ramp landing has a level platform with clear space of minimum 1500mm depth and the width of the ramp, as required by Clause 4.6.5.2(b) of the Code on Accessibility 2025.
Each flagged issue is linked directly to its location in the model and the corresponding clause in the Code, helping project teams resolve issues early in the design process.
The compliance checker is delivered as a secure web service. Models uploaded for checking are never stored or shared. They are used solely for rule validation during the checking session.
Public beta testing phase runs from Nov 2025 to May 2026. Join us in using this checker to shape the future of digital tools for the Built Environment!
Contribute a Model
Help us improve the Compliance Checker
We are now in the alpha testing phase and seeking real-world BIM models for internal validation.
You don’t have to submit a perfect model.
During the alpha testing stage, our team will work with you to improve the model so that it meets the compliance checker’s information requirements. We are particularly looking out for:
Models of various development types including malls, hotels, healthcare facilities, transport hubs, and mixed use developments
Models with defined spaces (e.g. rooms/zones), basic structure, and sanitary fixtures (to identify accessible washrooms).
Your contribution helps us refine the rules, test edge cases, and improve compliance outcomes for the entire industry.
Prepare Your Model
What Your Model Needs for the Compliance Checker for Accessibility to Work
To ensure accurate and meaningful results, your model must meet specific information requirements that allow the Compliance Checker to validate accessibility compliance effectively. These include spatial definitions, plumbing layouts, and correct IFC export configurations.
To make this process easier, we created a Model Preparation Template in Plannerly. This interactive template allows you to automatically check if your models meet the required information standards with no manual verification needed.
From now until May 2026, access to Plannerly is free for all beta participants in this project. You can use it to prepare and check your models before uploading them to the Compliance Checker.
Get Involved
