If nothing new identified
The kind of things we help catch.
Examples based on past reports. Each finding includes the photo, location, and the reference it was checked against.
Panel labeling doesn't match as-built — 4 circuits mislabeled after tenant improvement. Common in Maricopa County multi-tenant projects.
Condensate drain terminates into floor drain instead of approved visible location — violates Maricopa County amendment to IMC 307.2.3
Missing whole-house surge protection device at service panel — required by Maricopa County amendment to NEC 230.67 for all new residential
Water heater seismic strapping installed but bottom strap below manufacturer minimum height — common miss in Arizona installations
Sprinkler head obstruction clearance below 18 inches in storage room — materials staged too close to ceiling
Egress window in basement bedroom doesn't meet minimum clear opening — 5.0 sq ft required, measures 4.6 sq ft
And only if we identify something that wasn't already on your list.
If everything identified was already on your list, you pay nothing. You keep the report either way.
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 is an Inspection Readiness Report?
It's a written findings report prepared by Code Buddy's patent-pending AI. You send us photos and your open items list from your Maricopa County project, and within 24 hours we return a report scoring every item as pass, review, or flag — with cited references and photo evidence attached.
How much does a Readiness Report cost?
$250, one time. Nothing new identified, no charge. You keep the report either way — whether or not you become a Code Buddy customer.
What trades and industries does this work for in Maricopa County?
Any industry with field inspections — electrical, mechanical, plumbing, general construction, fire protection, energy, fleet, manufacturing. If your work gets inspected in Maricopa County, the Readiness Report can check it before the inspector arrives.
How do I send my project photos?
Upload them directly through the submission form, share a link to a cloud folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive), or email them to us. Whichever is easiest for your team.
Does Code Buddy replace a licensed inspector?
No. The Readiness Report is a pre-inspection QA tool — it helps you find what your open items may have missed before the official inspection. It does not replace a licensed inspector's determination or professional judgment.
