Country-Specific Regulations
Can I check my layout's compliance with local rules?
laiout cannot guarantee full compliance in every country, but the platform allows you to set parameters to meet local regulations such as clearance constraints, corridor widths, and fire exit distances. More countries are on the roadmap. Contact the team at info@laiout.co to check specifics for your region.

Do you follow German regulations?
Yes. laiout supports German regulations including walking clearance, window clearance, and fire exit distance mapping. The fire compliance feature measures distances to fire exits to help you verify your layout meets local requirements.
Do you take into account the location of fire exits in your design?
Yes. If fire exits are marked in the floor, they will be taken into account.

Is my corridor compliant?
