The visual summaries of key sections helped me retain the frequently used standards and dimensions. I also found the keyword search feature particularly useful when I needed to revisit certain terms or provisions during study sessions with my friends. Thank you VIZCODE!
Top 10 ALE June 2025 - University of Santo Tomas
I recently passed the June ALE 2025 and I’d like to thank you for being one of the credible sources out there. I was able to answer majority of the building laws related questions. I’m not a fan of heavy-text books, slides etc. Thank God there’s VIZCODE.
De La Salle College of Saint Benilde
Building codes comprised of a fairly huge chunk of the board exam, and with VIZCODE, I was able to answer those questions with confidence.

VIZCODE has been a huge time-saver for understanding building laws. Assigning different colors to each law makes it easy to differentiate and remember them, particularly when provisions vary across laws. Having VIZCODE displayed side by side while studying simplifies everything and, surprisingly, makes the whole process enjoyable. The Game Mode is also very helpful, it turns review into an interactive challenge that reinforces learning and improves long-term retention.

VIZCODE helped me streamline everything. The Comparative Mode made a big impact, allowing me to view different laws and concepts side by side, which made them much easier to understand and apply.
University of Santo Tomas
Vizcode provides flexibility in methods of learning with the various modes it offers. It was very helpful at the end of my review, most especially the Game Mode, as it allowed me to test my knowledge of our codes and laws, preparing me not only for the licensure exam but also for actual practice. Its simple yet well-organized and straightforward interface, format, and graphical illustrations made the platform easy to navigate and helped me grasp concepts more efficiently.

Vizcode was a huge help during my ALE review season. […] The platform’s accessibility is [a] big advantage—I could review anytime and anywhere, which was incredibly convenient during a busy review schedule. I highly recommend VIZCODE to future ALE takers and young professionals who want an efficient and visually engaging way to master architectural standards.
Top 7 ALE Jan 2026 - University of San Carlos
VIZCODE was instrumental as part of my ALE review. I first read through it to gain a good understanding of what standards each code covered before reading them thoroughly. Then after reading the codes, I needed a way to cross-check and quickly review specific standards between codes. The comparative mode saved me hours that I used to review important topics instead of trying to find specific passages in each law. The comparative mode did exactly what I needed it to do, especially for tricky codes like BP 220 and PD 957. Thank you VIZCODE!

What helped me a lot in studying the codes the was the Comparative Mode especially for building design since it can get confusing trying to remember which dimension is for which code. It helps a lot having visuals and color coding. Highly recommend it!
