Illustrative release - estimator approval required

Human approval is part of the workflow. DeX prepares the evidence; the designated reviewer decides what is released.

The line we do not cross

What this software will not do

Life-safety work. These limits are written into the requirements, not added as a disclaimer.

It does not decide compliance

The software links evidence, clauses and conflicts. A named engineer determines compliance.

It does not stand in for an authority

Internal approval never implies consent from an AHJ, Civil Defence, building control or a surveyor.

Nothing leaves without a named reviewer

Every output carries who approved it. Anything unverified keeps a draft marker until someone signs it.

It does not do sealed engineering

Hydraulic calculations, final layouts, sealed design, BIM authoring and final estimates are excluded.

Your standards, not ours

NFPA, EN, BS, ISO, FM, UL, LPCB and Civil Defence are examples. You confirm which apply.

~1/10of traditional build time
~30%of traditional cost

That is a claim about how fast Colakin builds software with DeX, and it is supported by delivered projects. It is not a claim about what any of these fifteen workflows will save your business. The requirements deliberately leave that to a pilot, measured against your own baseline.

How an engagement runs

Plan your pilot, in five steps

Request the requirements document, review a wireframe and agree the scope before a pilot.

FAQ

What do the five Fire Safety use cases cover?
They cover fire design, pre-sales estimating and quotations, submittals and commissioning, inspection and asset history, and operational intelligence. Each page explains the inputs, outputs and review steps for that part of the work.
Can we use one use case or combine all five?
Each use case supports its workflow end to end. You can use one independently or combine them to address a broader, more complex Fire Safety requirement.
How do we define an end-to-end Fire Safety solution?
Start with the problem, the people involved and the result you need. Agree the required records, standards, review decisions and handoffs, whether the solution uses one use case or connects several.
Who reviews the engineering and safety decisions?
Your designated engineers, inspectors and approvers retain responsibility for their decisions. The workflows organize evidence and prepare records for those people to review and approve.
Which standards should we provide?
Confirm the applicable jurisdiction, authority, code editions, amendments and client requirements during scoping. The workflow must use the standards agreed for your project.
How can we evaluate a workflow before expanding it?
Choose a representative project and compare the workflow with your current process. Agree the measures, review the outputs and resolve gaps before expanding the scope.
