Building Code & Permit Intelligence

The jurisdiction, the adopted code, the local amendments, and the permit requirements — researched and compared against the carrier’s scope.

Building code intelligence

ClaimProof researches the code that actually governs this roof.

  • Municipality
  • County
  • Authority Having Jurisdiction
  • Building department
  • Adopted building/residential code
  • Code edition
  • Local amendments

Restraint is the point.

ClaimProof does not automatically call a particular product or upgrade code-required unless supporting authority exists. A finding that cannot be backed by a source is presented as an item requiring professional verification, not as a requirement.

Permit intelligence

Permits and inspections, compared against the carrier’s scope.

ClaimProof researches potential permit and inspection requirements associated with the roof replacement. Those requirements can then be compared with the carrier’s scope.

Potential permit or compliance-related scope omission

When appropriate, ClaimProof can identify a potential permit or compliance-related scope omission for professional review — a category of finding that is easy to miss when documents are reviewed one at a time.

FAQ

Questions about this.

Does ClaimProof decide something is code-required?

Not automatically. ClaimProof does not call a particular product or upgrade code-required unless supporting authority exists. It clearly separates verified, source-backed requirements from items needing additional professional verification.

What jurisdiction details does it try to establish?

Municipality, county, Authority Having Jurisdiction, building department, adopted building or residential code, code edition, local amendments and roofing-specific requirements.

How are permits handled?

ClaimProof researches potential permit and inspection requirements for the roof replacement and compares them against the carrier’s scope, identifying a potential permit or compliance-related scope omission for professional review when appropriate.
