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 County's coastal overlay zone requirements?
Yes. Our AI specialists check coastal setbacks, bluff-edge restrictions, and material corrosion resistance requirements that San Diego County enforces in its coastal overlay zones. All included in the $250 flat fee.
How does the report handle projects near military installations in San Diego County?
We flag height restrictions, noise attenuation requirements, and lighting constraints that apply near military bases. These AICUZ overlay zone rules cause frequent corrections that our report catches before inspection.
Can I use this for a project in an unincorporated San Diego County area?
Yes. Unincorporated areas fall under the county building department rather than a city. Our report references San Diego County's adopted codes and local amendments, delivered within 24 hours of submission.
What fire-related items does the $250 report check?
We review brush management zones, ignition-resistant construction materials, fire sprinkler coverage, and access road clearances. San Diego County's fire authority has specific requirements beyond the base California Fire Code.
How do I submit materials for my report?
Upload your photos and open items list through our portal. No site visit required. You receive a written findings report within 24 hours covering structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fire/life safety items.
