A single inspector enforces structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical provisions across every project, and a determination only holds up when it points to the exact section. Codebooqs lets inspectors and code officials ask in plain language and get the exact code section and page from the documents they uploaded — defensible with contractors and on appeal.

The Problem

The Answer Is in the Manual — Somewhere

Many trades, one inspector

You enforce structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical provisions across every project.

Defensible determinations

A cited section behind a correction holds up with contractors and on appeal.

Amendments by jurisdiction

Your locally adopted edition and amendments change the requirement.

What You Can Upload

Codes and Standards for Every Inspection

IBC & IRC

Commercial and residential building codes by section.

Referenced Standards

The standards the code points to, in one place.

Local Amendments

Your adopted edition and jurisdiction changes.

SOPs & Checklists

What's the egress width requirement for this occupancy?

Codebooqs locates the egress requirement in the IBC edition you uploaded, quotes the exact section, and links to the page — so the correction notice cites the code, not a judgment call.
