1. What is Legis-Link? Legis-Link is an AI-powered construction compliance reference tool built for tradespeople, foremen, and project managers who need accurate code answers on site -- without carrying the standard, calling the office, or waiting for an engineer. You open a browser on your phone, pick your trade and region, type a compliance question in plain English, and get the exact standard reference back in seconds. There is nothing to install, no account required for the free tier, and it works on any phone. "Wrong cable size on a 30-metre run is a full rework. Legis-Link answers the cable sizing question before you pull the cable -- not after." — Core use case, Electrical trade, NSW The market context matters here. The global construction management software market is projected to expand at 9.1% CAGR from 2026 to 2036, but almost all of that growth is in enterprise platforms. 41% of mid-size contractors still manage safety compliance primarily through paper forms and spreadsheets. Legis-Link targets the gap between those two realities: individual tradespeople who need a specific answer right now, not a workflow platform that takes a month to implement.

Visual compliance PRO Upload a site photo for AI-powered preliminary compliance assessment. Unique in market.

1. Tool-by-Tool Detail Tool 1 -- Compliance check FREE

WHY IT EXISTS
Most compliance questions on site are binary: is this compliant or not? The compliance check tool answers that question with a clear status, the specific code clause, and any caveats -- in under 10 seconds.
HOW TO USE IT
Select your trade and region. Type the question as you would ask a colleague. The more specific you are, the more precise the answer.
Q: Is 2.5mm2 TPS cable compliant for a 20A circuit in a wall cavity NSW?
[COMPLIANT] COMPLIANT -- 2.5mm2 copper TPS is compliant for a 20A circuit in a standard wall cavity, provided ambient temperature does not exceed 40C and cables are not grouped with more than 2 others without derating. For grouped installations, verify against derating tables.
Ref: AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2017 Table 4; AS/NZS 3000:2018 Clause 3.5

KEY BENEFIT
Prevents costly rework from wrong material selection. A single cable rework typically costs more than a year of Pro subscription.

Tool 2 -- Technical calculations PRO

WHY IT EXISTS
Cable sizing, pipe sizing, voltage drop, and heat load calculations require multiple variables. Getting one wrong means either over-specifying (cost blowout) or under-specifying (rework or safety risk). This tool does the calculation and shows the working.
HOW TO USE IT
Q: Cable size for 45A load, 30m run, 240V single phase, clipped direct NSW
[COMPLIANT] 10mm2 copper conductor required. Working: 45A at 30m on 240V gives VD = 1.97% -- within 3% sub-circuit limit. Clipped direct, 40C max ambient, no derating required.
Ref: AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2017 Table C1; AS/NZS 3000:2018 Clause 3.6.2

KEY BENEFIT
Replaces spreadsheet lookups and manual table reading. Works for electrical (AU/UK/US/CA), plumbing, and HVAC calculations with correct region-specific tables applied automatically.

Tool 3 -- RAMS generator PRO

WHY IT EXISTS
A Risk Assessment and Method Statement used to take a foreman half a day to produce. On commercial sites, no RAMS means no work. This tool generates a complete, printable RAMS in 60 seconds from a task description.
HOW TO USE IT
Describe the task, trade, and region. The output includes: Section 1 -- Hazard Register with risk ratings and control measures; Section 2 -- numbered Method Statement; Section 3 -- required qualifications and certifications. All with specific regulation citations.
KEY BENEFIT
A foreman producing a RAMS manually takes 2-4 hours. This tool produces a draft in under 2 minutes. The foreman reviews, adjusts site-specific details, and signs off. The time saving alone justifies the Pro subscription.

Tool 4 -- Daily toolbox talks FREE

WHY IT EXISTS
Every site should run a 5-minute safety briefing before work starts. In practice, most don't -- because producing them takes time and most foremen don't have a template library. Legis-Link provides a different pre-start briefing for every trade, every day.
HOW TO USE IT
Tap the Toolbox button in the app. The daily topic for your selected trade appears with: hazard register, pre-start checklist with tick boxes, discussion question for crew engagement, and regulatory reference. Pro users download a printable PDF with crew sign-off register.
KEY BENEFIT
Builds a daily compliance habit. 70 topics across 10 trades rotating daily -- no repeated content for weeks.

Tool 5 -- Safety checklists PRO

WHY IT EXISTS
Every trade task has a specific PPE and control measure requirement. Generic checklists miss trade-specific hazards. This tool generates a numbered checklist specific to the task, trade, and jurisdiction -- with the regulation cited for each item.
KEY BENEFIT
Audit-ready documentation generated in seconds. Each control measure cites the specific regulation, so the checklist doubles as a compliance record.

Tool 6 -- Material compliance PRO

WHY IT EXISTS
Ordering the wrong material is expensive. A COMPLIANT / NON-COMPLIANT check before ordering -- specifying the exact standard the product must meet -- prevents substitution errors and disputes at inspection.
Q: Is 6mm2 XLPE single core cable approved for underground installation in NSW?
[NON-COMPLIANT] NON-COMPLIANT for direct burial. XLPE single core requires mechanical protection (conduit or armoured cable) for underground installation. Use 6mm2 XLPE armoured or install in rated conduit.
Ref: AS/NZS 3000:2018 Clause 3.10; AS/NZS 3013:2005

Tool 7 -- Inspection requirements PRO

WHY IT EXISTS
Missing an inspection hold point means covering work that cannot be re-inspected. This tool returns every mandatory inspection point, the authority who must sign off, the certificate or form required, and the timing.
KEY BENEFIT
Prevents the most expensive mistake in construction: covering work before mandatory inspection. The tool also returns the exact form number so the foreman can have the right paperwork ready.

Tool 8 -- Visual compliance (photo upload) PRO

WHY IT EXISTS
Sometimes you are looking at an installation and you do not know exactly what to ask. This tool lets you photograph the work and ask 'is this compliant?' The AI analyses the image and gives a structured assessment of what it can and cannot determine.
HOW TO USE IT
Tap the cam button in the app. Select a photo from your camera roll or take one. The AI returns: what it can see, compliance status, specific issues with standard references, what cannot be assessed from the photo alone, and a recommendation.
KEY BENEFIT
No other construction compliance tool on the market accepts site photos for compliance assessment. Results are clearly marked as preliminary visual checks -- not certified inspections.

1. Coverage -- 87 Regions, 10 Trades The most important thing about a compliance tool is that it uses the correct standard for where you are standing. A cable sizing answer that applies US NEC tables is wrong and potentially dangerous for an Australian electrician using AS/NZS 3008. Legis-Link applies the correct jurisdiction's standard automatically based on your selected region.

Region Regions Key standards
Australia 8 states + territories AS/NZS 3000:2018, NCC 2022, WHS Acts (Federal + State)
United States All 50 states + Washington DC NEC NFPA 70, IBC, OSHA 29 CFR 1926
Canada 10 provinces + territories CEC CSA C22.1, NBC, NPC, Provincial codes
United Kingdom England, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland BS 7671:2018, CDM 2015, Gas Safe, HSE
European Union 14 countries EN standards, IEC 60364, EN 806

The 10 trades covered: Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Gas fitting, Welding, Solar/Battery, Fire protection, Carpentry, Concrete, Roofing.

1. Competitor Comparison The construction compliance software market is dominated by enterprise platforms. The top tools in 2026 -- Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Novade, SafetyCulture, and Fieldwire -- are designed for large organisations managing compliance workflows across multiple sites. iAuditor leads market share among small-to-mid-size contractors with 43% adoption for digital inspections. None of these tools answer the question a tradesperson is asking at 7:15am on a Monday: 'What size cable do I need for this circuit?'

Key distinction: Legis-Link is a compliance reference tool, not a workflow management platform. It does not replace Procore or SafetyCulture for a construction firm managing 50 sites. It replaces the printed copy of AS/NZS 3000 that most tradespeople don't carry -- and the phone call they make when they need an answer.

1. Pricing Legis-Link has two tiers: • Free: 50 queries per day, 3 tools (compliance check, code reference, toolbox talk preview), no account required, works immediately on any phone browser. • Pro -- $199/year: 1,000 queries per day, all 9 tools including calculations, RAMS generation, safety checklists, material compliance, inspection requirements, and visual compliance. API key delivered within 30 minutes.

At $199/year, a single avoided cable rework pays for the subscription many times over. The average cost of a cable rework on a commercial project -- pulling, replacing, and retesting incorrect cable on a 30-metre run -- runs $800 to $2,000 depending on access and labour rates.

1. Verdict Legis-Link fills a specific gap that no other tool addresses: instant, accurate code reference for individual tradespeople on site. It is not an enterprise platform. It does not manage workflows, track certifications, or file OSHA reports. It answers the question you have right now, with the exact standard that applies where you are standing.

Strengths Limitations
Free tier requires no account or install Not a workflow or project management platform
87 regions -- correct local standard applied Photo compliance is preliminary -- not a certified inspection
Visual compliance via photo -- unique in market Free tier limited to 50 queries per day
RAMS generated in 60 seconds No offline mode for uncached questions
Daily toolbox talks for all 10 trades

How is Legis-Link different from Procore or SafetyCulture? Procore and SafetyCulture are enterprise workflow platforms for organisations managing multiple sites. Legis-Link is a lightweight compliance reference tool for individual tradespeople. It answers specific code questions instantly; it does not manage projects, track certifications, or file regulatory reports. Can Legis-Link replace a licensed engineer or certifier? No. Legis-Link provides preliminary compliance reference information based on published standards. Results should be verified against the full published standard or by a licensed professional before making final installation decisions. How does the visual compliance tool work? Pro users upload a site photo via the cam button in the app. The AI analyses the image and provides a structured assessment: what it can see, compliance status, specific issues with standard references, what cannot be determined from the photo, and a recommendation. This is a preliminary visual check -- not a certified inspection.
