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.
How does Indianapolis handle inspections on karst terrain sites?
Indianapolis requires geotechnical investigations for construction on mapped karst zones where limestone dissolution can cause sinkholes. Foundation designs must address subsurface voids, and inspectors verify that soil borings and engineering reports are on file before approving footings.
What department handles building permits in Indianapolis?
The Department of Business and Neighborhood Services handles building permits and inspections in Indianapolis. They enforce Indiana state codes and manage the plan review process. Permit applications can be submitted online through the Accela citizen portal.
What are the top inspection failure items in Indianapolis?
Common failures include inadequate footing depth for frost and karst conditions, missing tornado shelter compliance in multifamily projects, improper sump pump discharge connections, and air barrier deficiencies at rim joist and window rough openings in climate zone 4A.
Does Indianapolis require tornado shelters in new construction?
Indiana requires tornado shelters or safe rooms in certain occupancy types including manufactured home communities and some multifamily buildings. Indianapolis inspectors verify door ratings, wall impact resistance, and ventilation per ICC 500 standards.
Can I use the $250 report for both a residential and commercial project?
Each $250 Inspection Readiness Report covers one project. You submit photos and a tracking list for that specific job and receive findings within 24 hours. For multiple projects in Indianapolis, each one requires a separate report submission.
