Ordinance is a research assistant that helps AEC professionals navigate Hong Kong building regulations. It references publicly available government documents and provides answers with clause-level citations, linking directly to the official source material.
How it works
When you ask a question, the system searches across publicly available regulatory material from multiple Hong Kong government departments, identifies the most relevant sections, and generates a concise answer that cites the specific clauses and documents used.
Search: Your question is matched against relevant sections of publicly available regulatory documents.
Cite: Answers include specific clause references so you can verify against the original source.
Link: Each referenced document links to the official government publication.
Verify: Quality checks reduce unsupported claims and flag where verification is needed.

Important notice
Ordinance is a research tool for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional advice. Answers are generated summaries that reference publicly available documents published by Hong Kong government departments. Users should always verify cited clauses against the original official publications, which remain the authoritative source. All referenced documents are linked to their official government URLs.
