The kind of things we help catch.
Examples based on past reports. Each finding includes the photo, location, and the reference it was checked against.
Panel in classified petrochemical area missing proper hazardous location rating per NEC Article 500
Anchor bolts at grade beam not embedded to depth required for Houston's expansive soil conditions
HVAC ductwork in unconditioned attic space lacks required R-8 insulation for Houston's climate zone
Backflow preventer on potable water line not listed model per Houston Public Works approved list
Fire-rated corridor penetration sealed with non-listed firestop material at pipe sleeve
Post-tension slab tendon profile at midspan appears low relative to approved shop drawings
And only if we identify something that wasn't already on your list.
If everything identified was already on your list, you pay nothing. You keep the report either way.
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 Houston's lack of traditional zoning affect what you review?
Our report focuses on building code compliance, not zoning. Houston's unique regulatory structure means code inspections carry even more weight. We cover all applicable adopted codes for $250.
Can you catch Houston wind-load issues from photos alone?
We check visible fastener patterns, strap connections, and sheathing attachment against wind speed requirements. For engineered connections, we compare photos to your submitted drawings. Results within 24 hours.
Do you cover projects in the Houston energy corridor?
Yes. We regularly review industrial, refinery-adjacent, and commercial projects along the energy corridor. Our specialists understand classified electrical areas and heavy mechanical installations.
What Houston-specific code amendments do you check?
Houston adopts the IBC and IRC with local amendments covering flood elevation, wind design, and energy efficiency. Our $250 report flags items specific to these Houston amendments.
How quickly after submitting can I expect my report?
Most Houston reports are delivered within 24 hours of submission, depending on availability. Complex projects with large photo sets may take slightly longer. We notify you as soon as it is ready.
