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 Austin require green building compliance on commercial projects?
Yes. Austin Energy Green Building requirements apply to many commercial project types. Our $250 report checks visible green building items like ERV installation, cool roofing, and water-efficient fixtures.
Can you review a data center or tech campus project in Austin?
Yes. Austin's tech corridor generates complex electrical and mechanical inspections. We check load calculations, cooling redundancy, and fire suppression systems. Results within 24 hours.
How does Austin's permitting backlog affect when I should submit?
Submit before your inspection is scheduled. Austin's busy permitting environment means failed inspections cause costly re-scheduling delays. Our $250 report helps you pass the first time.
What Austin-specific energy code items do you check?
Austin adopts the IECC with local amendments covering cool roofs, energy recovery ventilation, EV readiness, and solar-ready provisions. We flag non-compliant items visible in your photos.
Do you review battery storage installations in Austin?
Yes. Battery energy storage systems require specific ventilation, gas detection, and fire suppression per Austin amendments. These are new requirements that many contractors are still learning.
