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.
Anchor bolt embedment depth insufficient for seismic Design Category D per San Diego amendment to CBC
EV-ready conduit stub missing from garage per San Diego Municipal Code mandatory reach code requirement
Military compatibility overlay height restriction exceeded by parapet wall within MCAS Miramar flight zone
Copper supply lines in coastal salt-air zone lack required protective sleeve per local corrosion standard
Title 24 cool-roof reflectance index below minimum for Climate Zone 7 on low-slope commercial roof
New residential PV system capacity below San Diego reach code minimum that exceeds state baseline
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 report cover San Diego's reach codes that go beyond standard Title 24?
Yes. The City of San Diego adopted reach codes for EV readiness, solar capacity, and building electrification that exceed California minimums. Our report checks these San Diego-specific requirements alongside the base codes.
Can the report flag military compatibility zone issues in San Diego?
Yes. Projects near MCAS Miramar, Naval Base San Diego, and other installations face height, noise, and lighting restrictions. Our $250 report identifies overlay zone conflicts before they become inspection corrections.
How fast will I receive my findings?
Reports are delivered within 24 hours of uploading your photos and open items list. Our AI specialists reference City of San Diego municipal code amendments, so results are specific to your jurisdiction.
Is the $250 report helpful for coastal construction projects?
Very helpful. Coastal projects in San Diego face salt-air corrosion requirements, setback rules, and stormwater controls that trigger frequent inspection corrections. We flag those items alongside standard code checks.
What if my project spans multiple inspection phases?
Each $250 report covers your current inspection phase. If you need coverage for a subsequent phase, submit updated photos and a new open items list for a separate report, also delivered within 24 hours.
