Building rules explainer

The brief

People building a house struggle with setbacks, floor area ratio and permit steps. Build an app that explains building bye-laws and permit steps from the official documents in simple language, quotes the rule, and says when the documents do not cover a question. Good looks like: correct answers on 40 test questions, a quoted rule with each answer, and honest refusals.

1. Collect a city's building bye-laws and permit guides
2. Design prompts that answer only from them
3. Quote the rule behind each answer
