# NOVTRIQ — Engineering Intelligence Platform (Technical Division)

> NOVTRIQ is an engineering-intelligence platform for the built environment across the UK, EU, and UAE. It provides (1) machine-callable engineering compliance & calculation tools via REST API and MCP, (2) NOVTRIQ Academy — CPD-structured engineering courses, and (3) Engineering-as-a-Service subscriptions and Technical Due Diligence. Every automated output is an indicative engineering estimate that carries a standard reference and a disclaimer, and must be validated by a qualified engineer before any technical, legal, or investment decision.

## What NOVTRIQ is
NOVTRIQ exposes 27 deterministic engineering calculators and regulatory-compliance checkers as a REST API and an MCP server, so AI agents and developers can call them directly; runs NOVTRIQ Academy (10 courses / 97 lessons) for engineers and compliance professionals; and delivers Engineering-as-a-Service and Technical Due Diligence. Coverage: UK, the EU (including Norway & Switzerland), and the UAE. Domains: data-centre efficiency, building energy & carbon, EU/UK/UAE regulatory compliance, structural design, OT cybersecurity, and technical due diligence.
