Report turnaround
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.
Rooftop solar array rapid shutdown system not labeled at service disconnect — Tempe requires NEC 690.12 compliant labeling at all access points
EV charger outlet installed in multifamily parking garage without required ventilation calculations for battery off-gassing scenario
Grease interceptor on restaurant tenant improvement undersized for fixture count — will not pass Tempe plumbing final
Rooftop condenser unit clearance to parapet wall less than manufacturer minimum — reduced airflow in 115-degree ambient temperatures
Steel moment frame connection bolts not marked with required inspector witness marks — special inspection documentation incomplete
Accessible parking van space access aisle slopes exceed 2 percent maximum — asphalt settled unevenly from desert heat softening
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.
Does the Readiness Report work for Tempe multifamily and mixed-use projects?
Yes. Multifamily and mixed-use are the most common project types in Tempe. The report reviews electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire protection, and accessibility items across all units for one $250 fee.
Can Code Buddy review my Tempe solar installation before inspection?
Yes. Solar PV systems are a major focus in Tempe. We check rapid shutdown labeling, conductor routing, grounding, and panel-to-inverter wiring against NEC and local requirements within 24 hours.
What makes Tempe inspections different from other East Valley cities?
Tempe has more urban infill, tighter setbacks, and higher-density projects than surrounding suburbs. Accessibility, fire separation between occupancies, and energy code compliance get extra scrutiny from Tempe inspectors.
How do I know if the report is worth $250?
If we don't find anything beyond your existing open items, you pay nothing. A single avoided re-inspection trip in Tempe saves far more than $250 in crew time and schedule delays.
Does the report replace my Tempe building inspection?
No. The Readiness Report is a pre-inspection quality check. It helps your team fix issues before the official inspection so you pass on the first trip, but it does not substitute for the inspector's authority.
