Rulon Taylor used to pore over thick plans and match them to rules in fat building code books. Back and forth he would go, reading once, twice, three times.
His job? Making sure proposed buildings meet fire codes and setbacks and have the right kind of pipes and faucets, seeing to it that hospital construction meets hospital standards while office construction meets office codes.

The crucial task of reviewing a building's blueprint sometimes took days--until he found OptaSoft of Baton Rouge, a young software company that has made Taylor's job easier.
