Established in 2008, Design Criteria by Zip was founded to provide a centralized, high-accuracy clearinghouse for structural hazard data. While many tools focused solely on basic wind speeds, we recognized early on that professionals required a complete set of design criteria to ensure safety and compliance.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex GIS mapping and the immediate needs of structural engineers and architects. By integrating advanced Gemini AI analysis with our legacy dataset, we continue to lead the way in structural intelligence, providing not just raw data, but the interpretative context required for modern permit documentation.
