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.
Post-installed concrete anchor in tilt-up tech campus wall missing required special inspection per CBC 1705
EV charging infrastructure conduit count below San Jose reach code requirement for commercial parking structure
High-density residential corridor lacks required smoke control system per San Jose fire department amendment
Natural gas stub prohibited in new residential construction under San Jose natural gas prohibition ordinance
Recycled water dual-plumbing system missing required purple identification markings at all accessible joints
Solar-ready zone roof area below 40% threshold for new multi-family building per San Jose reach code
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 Jose's natural gas prohibition and electrification reach codes?
Yes. San Jose prohibits natural gas in most new construction and requires all-electric systems. Our report flags gas stubs, insufficient panel capacity, and heat pump sizing issues specific to San Jose's reach code.
Can the report help with tech campus or tilt-up construction inspections in San Jose?
Yes. Tilt-up and steel-frame construction common in San Jose's tech corridor requires special inspections and specific anchor details. Our $250 report checks those structural items before your inspector arrives.
How quickly will I receive my San Jose inspection readiness report?
Within 24 hours of uploading your photos and open items list. Our AI specialists reference San Jose municipal code amendments and reach codes, so findings are specific to your jurisdiction.
Is the $250 report useful for transit village high-density projects?
Very useful. High-density projects near BART and VTA stations face enhanced fire, accessibility, and stormwater requirements in San Jose. Our report catches those items across all trades in one document.
What if my project has already received a correction notice?
Upload the correction notice along with photos showing your fixes. Our report verifies each correction item is properly addressed before you call for re-inspection, saving you another failed trip.
