Building-rule help for Bhopal in Hindi, English or Hinglish: source-backed answers, rule search and preliminary compliance checks of 2D building plans.
The problem
Building permission rules are complex, lengthy, and difficult for citizens, architects, and municipal clerks to understand quickly. Finding the correct rule, checking plot compliance, and verifying requirements manually takes time and can lead to confusion or errors. We are solving this problem through Bhumi VIkas Shahayak, an AI-powered assistant that helps users understand building regulations in Hindi, English, and Hinglish, find relevant rulebook references, perform verified compliance checks, and identify cases that require manual review.
How it works
We built Bhumi VIkas Shahayak, an AI-powered multilingual platform that simplifies building regulation verification in Bhopal.
Ask Bhumi VIkas Shahayak: Ask questions in Hindi, English, or Hinglish and get source-backed answers.
Rule Search: Find relevant building regulations using specific parameters.

Bhumi VIkas Shahayak combines AI-powered assistance, rulebook search, and preliminary compliance checks, prioritizing verified sources and flagging uncertain cases for manual review.
How Claude was used
We used Claude and Claude Code to brainstorm the solution, refine the project workflow, develop the user interface, and assist with implementing AI-powered rule search and compliance features. We also used AI assistance to improve the multilingual user experience and make building regulations easier to understand through source-backed responses.
