Electrician cannot install smoke/carbon detectors in hallways because returns are too close and bulkheads block placement elsewhere.
No easy solution for installing detectors in tight hallways with center returns and low bulkheads; code requires keeping detectors >3ft from returns and within 4in of ceiling, and no compliant spot exists.

Implied Software Gaps
- A code-aware design tool that flags compliance conflicts before installation.
App Concept
CodeSnap Pro
A mobile app that uses augmented reality to scan room geometry, detect code compliance conflicts (like detector vs. return vs. bulkhead), and suggest alternate compliant placements or product exceptions. Saves hours of manual measuring and code lookup.
Key Features
- AR-based room scanning to map returns, bulkheads, and ceiling heights
- Real-time code compliance checker (NFPA 72, local amendments)
- Auto-suggested alternative placement spots or listed exceptions
- Shareable compliance report for inspection records
Target Users: Electricians and low-voltage contractors in residential and commercial construction (solo to 20-person firms)
Revenue Model: $19.99/mo per user SaaS subscription; free tier with limited scans
