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.

Before you ask.
What frost depth does Fort Wayne require for footings?
Fort Wayne and Allen County require a minimum 36-inch footing depth to get below the frost line. This applies to all structural footings including porches, decks, and accessory structures. Shallow footings are one of the most common rejection items.
Are there local amendments in Fort Wayne beyond the Indiana state codes?
Fort Wayne generally follows the Indiana-adopted codes without major local amendments. However, the city enforces its own stormwater management and erosion control ordinances that affect site grading, drainage plans, and inspection sequencing on new construction.
How does Fort Wayne handle inspections for manufacturing facility renovations?
Manufacturing renovations in the Fort Wayne industrial corridor require plan review through the Allen County Building Department. Inspectors focus on fire separation between occupancy types, ventilation for industrial processes, and structural capacity for heavy equipment loads.

Fort Wayne falls in climate zone 5A, which requires minimum R-49 ceiling insulation, R-20 wall insulation, and R-10 basement wall insulation per the Indiana energy code. Blower door testing or visual inspection of the air barrier is also required.
