Guidex is built for UK fire engineering.
Advance your practice on a platform where your work stays yours, reads the guidance in full,
keeps every answer sourced, and lifts the quality of every finding so your time goes to judgment, not lookup, with a clear record of how it was done.
Explore Guidex
The answer, straight from the clause
Set up your project parameters and ask anything. Guidex reads the relevant guidance and answers in plain English, with citations down to the exact clause, table or figure, so you can check the source and build on it with confidence.
- Set the project parameters and start querying
- Answers in plain English, cited to the exact clause, table or figure
- Click-to-source chips take you to the guidance to check the wording yourself
- Reads only the guidance you select, nothing pulled from the open web, nothing invented
Scan the layout.
Check the design.
Upload your floor plan and Guidex maps the spaces and escape routes, reviewing the layout against the guidance. Ask about any stair, room or corridor and get your answer.
- Set up your project and Guidex maps the spaces, rooms, corridors, stairs
- Escape routes are traced through to the exit
- The layout is reviewed against the guidance
- Ask about any space and get an answer tailored to your building
Design assessment and markups
A markup workspace tailored for fire design review. Compartment lines, fire doors, travel distances and design notes, all coming together against the guidance you’re working to, flagging any design concern as you go.
- Bluebeam-style toolbox, compartment lines, fire doors, travel distances, all placed and tracked
- Every note stays connected to the guidance behind it
- Export a clean PDF with all your notes and the design assessment captured

The intelligence behind Guidex
-
Closed by design
It reads only the guidance you select. It doesn’t reach into the open web, doesn’t pull from forums or blog posts, doesn’t draw on general knowledge. The boundary is the corpus. If the answer isn’t in the guidance you’ve chosen, it tells you, it doesn’t guess.
-
Tuned to your project
You set the context once: building type, height, use, occupancy, the guidance that applies. From then on, every answer is filtered to your building. It doesn’t return clauses for a building type you’re not working on. The intelligence isn’t generic; it’s conditioned on the project in front of you.
-
Engineering judgment, preserved
Built to support the engineer. Guidex takes the searching and the cross-referencing, hours of it, and returns the full picture, in findings you can act on, including what sits between the lines and would be easy to miss by hand. It doesn’t originate. Every answer is drawn from your documents and nothing else, so you can open the source and check the wording yourself. It’s designed so accuracy, completeness and compliance stay with the engineer.
-
Traceable to the source
Every answer carries its source, clause, table or figure, that you can click through and check. The reasoning isn’t a black box, it shows its work. You can always audit the path from question to answer.
-
Private by design
Your project never leaves your control. The guidance you work with, the questions you ask, the layouts you upload: none of it is retained, none of it trains a model, none of it goes anywhere it shouldn’t. The intelligence runs without your confidential work being exposed.
Enterprise-grade security and controls
Guidex is built on enterprise-grade certified infrastructure meeting the highest global standards for information security, privacy management, and responsible AI governance, independently audited and continuously maintained.

The questions
engineers ask
Everything you need to know about how each answer is sourced and verified, and how your work stays secure.
01 What exactly is Guidex?
Guidex is a workbench for UK fire safety engineering. Unlike general AI tools, it doesn’t draw on the open web or general knowledge. It reads only the guidance you select and answers from there, with every response cited to the exact clause, table or figure. The underlying model is hosted on certified, GDPR-compliant infrastructure, so your project data stays secure. The result is a tool that gives you defensible, traceable answers you can build on, without the hallucinated clauses or invented references that come with general purpose AI.
02 What documents can it work with?
This is Guidex PDF. Any document you hold, opened and read in place. The reading happens in your browser, on your own machine. Nothing is copied, stored or redistributed.
03 How do I know the answers are accurate?
Every question triggers a fresh read of the guidance. Guidex doesn’t answer from stored knowledge or a pre-processed index. It reads the document in its original wording and constructs the answer from that text alone, then cites the precise clause, table or figure it drew from. The model behind it is fine-tuned specifically for fire engineering, shaped around the citation conventions and reasoning patterns of the discipline. It isn’t a general purpose model repurposed for fire safety.
04 Can it work from my floor plans?
Yes, this is Guidex Vision. Upload your floor plan and Guidex maps the spaces and escape routes, then reviews the layout against the guidance. Ask about any stair, room or corridor and get an answer specific to your building.
05 What happens to my project data?
Your work stays yours. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, access-controlled, and handled on certified infrastructure meeting the highest global standards for information security and privacy. Nothing you upload is retained or used to train a model. Your layouts, your questions and your project context never leave your control.
Less searching.
More engineering.
Join the first UK fire engineers turning the guidance into reports with the reasoning behind them. Every answer sourced, every step on record.
