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 seismic requirements apply to residential construction in Provo?
Provo is classified as Seismic Design Category D due to its location along the Wasatch Fault. Residential projects require engineered shear walls, hold-down hardware, and reinforced concrete foundations per Utah-amended IRC Chapter 6.
Does Provo have local building code amendments beyond Utah state codes?
Provo generally follows the state-adopted IBC and IRC with Utah amendments. The city may impose additional requirements for hillside development, wildland-urban interface areas, and stormwater management on new construction.
What is the ground snow load for Provo building design?
Provo ground snow loads typically range from 30 psf in the valley floor to 45 psf or more in the east bench foothills. Higher elevations near Rock Canyon and Squaw Peak require site-specific snow load analysis.
How much does a CodeBuddy plan review cost for a Provo project?
A CodeBuddy plan review costs $250 with results delivered within 24 hours. The review checks structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and energy code compliance against current Provo and Utah requirements.
Are there special energy code requirements in Provo?
Provo falls in IECC Climate Zone 5B, requiring R-49 ceiling insulation, R-20 continuous wall insulation, and U-0.30 windows. Blower door testing to 3 ACH50 is also required for new residential construction.
