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 Silver Spring have its own building code?
Silver Spring is an unincorporated area within Montgomery County. Building permits and inspections are administered by the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. The county enforces Maryland codes with local amendments covering green building, accessibility, and stormwater.
What green building requirements apply in Silver Spring?
Montgomery County requires green building certification for commercial and multi-family projects above certain thresholds. Code Buddy's report identifies which green building pathway applies to your Silver Spring project and flags missing documentation.
How does the Silver Spring transit district affect construction requirements?
Projects within the Silver Spring Metro transit district face additional zoning requirements including building step-backs, ground-floor retail activation, pedestrian access standards, and parking maximums rather than minimums.
What is included in the $250 Inspection Readiness Report?
The report reviews your plans against all applicable Montgomery County building codes, including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, energy, and accessibility requirements. Results are delivered within 24 hours.
Does Montgomery County require EV charging infrastructure in Silver Spring projects?
Yes. Montgomery County's zoning text amendment requires new multi-family and commercial buildings to include EV-ready electrical infrastructure for a percentage of parking spaces. The report checks your electrical plans against these requirements.
