GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
What does a Birmingham Inspection Readiness Report include?
The report covers a detailed review of your submitted photos and tracking list against applicable Birmingham building codes. You receive a written findings document identifying potential compliance issues, organized by trade, with severity ratings and code references.
How does the $250 report help me pass my Birmingham inspection?
By identifying deficiencies before your inspector arrives, you can correct issues in advance. Birmingham inspectors commonly flag HVAC condensate management, vapor barrier orientation, and termite treatment documentation, and the report checks for all of these.
What types of projects does this work for?
The report covers residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects. Birmingham's construction market includes downtown loft conversions, suburban new builds, and commercial renovations, and the review adapts to your specific project type and scope.
How fast do I get results?
You receive your written findings within 24 hours of submitting your photos and tracking list. For time-sensitive Birmingham projects with scheduled inspections approaching, this gives you a same-day or next-day window to address any issues found.
Do I need to be on-site for the report?
No. You submit photos and your inspection tracking list remotely. The review is conducted off-site by specialists familiar with Alabama building codes and Birmingham's local amendments, so there is no scheduling conflict with your crew's work.
