Frequently Asked Questions

Does InspectMind check Seattle Building Code requirements?

Yes. Our AI incorporates Seattle's local amendments to the Washington State Building Code, including specific requirements for seismic design, energy code, and stormwater management.

How do you handle seismic design coordination?

Seattle's Seismic Design Category D requirements demand careful coordination between structural, MEP, and architectural disciplines. Our AI checks for bracing conflicts, equipment anchorage, and connection details.

Do you review for Seattle Energy Code compliance?

We flag potential conflicts between Seattle's aggressive energy code requirements and the construction documents, helping ensure envelope, HVAC, and lighting designs are coordinated.

Can you help with SDCI permit processes?

By catching common SDCI correction items before submission: seismic details, accessibility, energy code, InspectMind helps teams reduce revision cycles and accelerate permits.
