Our takeoffs account for California-specific building codes (Title 24, seismic bracing, etc.), ensuring your material lists comply with state regulations. We cross-check plans against local amendments to prevent costly oversights.

We use PlanSwift with CA add-ons to auto-flag code-driven extras (e.g., extra hold-downs for seismic Zone 4, fire-blocking details for Type V builds), then manually verify each measurement—critical for California’s strict plan reviewers.
For Zone 2 (0-30' from structures), we now include non-combustible material callouts and ember-resistant vent calculations as required by 2023's updated Chapter 7A amendments.
