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 does the Charleston Inspection Readiness Report cover?
The report reviews your submitted photos and tracking list against Charleston's adopted building codes, including wind-borne debris region requirements, flood zone elevation standards, and historic district guidelines. You receive a written findings document within 24 hours.
How much does an Inspection Readiness Report cost in Charleston?
A single report costs $250 one-time with no subscription required. This covers one project review with written findings delivered within 24 hours, including Charleston-specific coastal construction and hurricane resistance checks.
Do you check for Charleston historic district compliance?
Yes. If your project falls within Charleston's historic overlay district, the report flags potential certificate-of-appropriateness conflicts such as window styles, siding materials, and roofline changes that commonly cause inspection delays.
Can the report catch flood zone elevation problems?
The report checks visible indicators of FEMA flood zone compliance including flood vent sizing, lowest floor elevation markers, and mechanical equipment placement relative to base flood elevation requirements in Charleston's low-country areas.
How quickly will I receive my findings?
Written findings are delivered within 24 hours of submitting your photos and tracking list. Most Charleston reports are completed same-day during business hours, giving you time to address issues before scheduling your official inspection.
