Kestrel Labs

1801 California St Suite 2400, Denver, CO, 80202, United States

Overview

Kestrel Labs builds an AI-powered compliance platform that integrates directly inside Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, notably Autodesk Revit. Its product suite includes Kestrel Compliance Analysis (one-click model checks with element-level results and code citations), Kestrel Compliance Chat (an AI building code assistant that cites exact code sections), and the Kestrel Portal (a web dashboard for project and firm leaders). The company draws compliance content from an agreement with the International Code Council (ICC). Kestrel emphasizes an annual firm-wide licensing model with no per-seat fees and charter-customer preferred pricing. Founders Austin Pulford (AIA, NCARB) and Marian Pulford (Co-Founder and CEO) built the product from their domain experience in licensed architectural practice. The company is located in Denver, Colorado.
