This Startup is Like Grammarly for Building Codes | Tyce Herrman, Co-Founder of Ulama

Tyce Herrman, Co-Founder of Ulama, is leading a startup that uses artificial intelligence and 3D building model analysis to automate construction permitting, transforming how building code compliance is verified. With a background in planning, data science, and computer engineering, Tyce blends deep technical skill with real-world understanding of the built environment and permitting headaches in construction.

Ulama is like “Grammarly for building codes.” Their platform analyzes 3D architectural models to check them against regulatory requirements, speeding up design reviews, reducing errors, and helping architects, developers, and regulators move faster. This approach has the potential to dramatically shorten permit review cycles and bring clarity and consistency to complex code compliance.

This interview was hosted by Coeus Collective Co-Founders Antonio Di Meglio and Leon Li, and filmed in partnership with The Front Yard at Pace University. The interview was filmed on Pace’s Manhattan campus using Coeus Collective's mobile studio set up.

Tyce joins a growing list of visionary founders featured on Coeus Collective’s media network, which explores the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation, and emerging technology through thoughtful, founder-first conversations.
