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 report cover LA County's wildfire-urban interface requirements?
Yes. Our AI specialists flag defensible space clearances, ignition-resistant material requirements, and WUI-specific setbacks that LA County enforces across high fire severity zones. The $250 report covers all applicable WUI items.
How quickly can I get results for a project in unincorporated Los Angeles County?
Reports are delivered within 24 hours of receiving your photos and open items list. Our system references LA County's adopted codes and local amendments, so findings are jurisdiction-specific, not generic California boilerplate.
Can the report help with ADU inspections in LA County?
Absolutely. ADU construction is booming across Los Angeles County, and our report checks setbacks, Title 24 energy compliance, fire separation from the primary dwelling, and seismic detailing specific to your parcel's zone.
What trades does the $250 inspection readiness report cover?
The report covers structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire/life safety, and energy compliance. You receive one consolidated findings document rather than separate reports per trade.
Do I need to be present on-site for the report?
No. You upload your own photos and your open items list through our portal. We review the materials remotely and deliver your written findings report within 24 hours.
