Customer stories03

Trusted by leading architecture practices from concept to completion.

“It has become harder and harder to make money in architecture. Compliance is necessary, but the administration of it eats into our time and margins. Mountup gives our team the confidence to focus on design.”

“Mountup feels like having an always-on compliance expert from day one. It helps me develop a compliance strategy, answer difficult regulatory questions and identify issues early on.”
Maria-Luisa LanzaMaria-Luisa LanzaProject Architect
“The real world can be messy and we don’t always have time to produce perfectly structured models. Mountup detected a tricky guarding issue straight from the IFC file that would have become an expensive problem on site.”

The problem04

The regulatory overhead demands a better toolkit. You’re still using spreadsheets.

The tracker that runs your life

Dozens of tabs, hundreds of line items. Every requirement needs a status, responsible party, route to compliance, strategy, and evidence.

Manual lookups, evidence gathering and compliance checks.

Search for the requirement. Interpret the guidance. Agree a strategy. Gather evidence. Update the tracker. Check the designs. Repeat.

The coordination overhead

The Building Safety Act made the Principal Designer role mandatory. Architects are absorbing it, often without additional fees, staff, or tools fit for purpose.

The moment you have to sign

At completion, you carry fifteen years of personal liability based on scattered evidence and a spreadsheet you populated manually.
