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.
What should I know about converting a Lewiston mill building to residential use?
Mill conversions in Lewiston require occupancy change review under IBC Chapter 34, structural load verification, fire separation upgrades, and often lead and asbestos assessment. The Inspection Readiness Report flags these requirements against your submitted plans before permit review.
Does Lewiston have its own building code amendments?
Lewiston enforces the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC) based on the 2015 IBC and IRC. While the state code applies uniformly, Lewiston's code enforcement office may apply local interpretations for historic district projects and mill rehabilitation.
How quickly can I get an Inspection Readiness Report for my Lewiston project?
Reports are delivered within 24 hours of plan upload for $250. The review covers structural, fire, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing compliance, giving you time to correct issues before the Lewiston Building Department begins their permit review.
Does the report address older housing stock issues common in Lewiston?
Yes. For renovation projects, the report identifies code triggers related to existing conditions such as knob-and-tube wiring near insulation, inadequate egress windows, non-conforming stairways, and structural deficiencies in pre-1950 wood-frame construction.
Can Code Buddy review plans for projects along the Androscoggin River corridor?
Yes. The report includes flood zone and environmental review flags for properties near the Androscoggin River, checking foundation requirements, elevation certificates, and stormwater management against MUBEC and FEMA floodplain provisions.
