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 Portland, Maine have additional building requirements beyond MUBEC?
Yes. Portland enforces MUBEC plus local amendments including historic district design review in the Old Port, enhanced flood zone standards for waterfront properties, and specific grease trap and wastewater requirements for the city's restaurant-heavy commercial districts.
How does the report handle Portland's coastal wind and flood exposure?
The report checks wind load calculations for coastal exposure categories, verifies flood zone elevation requirements for waterfront properties, and flags materials that are not rated for salt air corrosion. These are common rejection points at Portland permit review.
What does the $250 Inspection Readiness Report cover?
The report reviews structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, and fire protection compliance against applicable codes. For Portland projects, it also flags historic district triggers and waterfront-specific requirements, delivered within 24 hours.
Can Code Buddy review restaurant and hospitality projects in Portland?
Yes. Portland's tourism and restaurant industry creates specific code demands including commercial kitchen ventilation, grease interceptor sizing, occupancy load calculations, and accessibility requirements. The report checks all of these against current MUBEC and local standards.
Is the report useful for waterfront development projects in Portland?
Yes. Waterfront projects face flood zone compliance, coastal high hazard area requirements, and enhanced structural loading from wind and wave action. The report identifies these issues early so you can resolve them before the Portland Building Department review.
