FAQ
Common questions
Does the self-check tell me if I am compliant?+
No. It is a general checklist to help you spot common gaps. Requirements depend on your building, adopted code edition, and AHJ. Final approvals and reinspection outcomes rest with your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). We do not guarantee AHJ approval.
Is my self-check saved?+
