What is CodeCalls.org?
We are all about positive IMPACT for the fire protection community. This website is aimed at bringing together code officials, designers & contractors in a collaborative environment where local requirements can be met.
The site will compile some common local requirements, such as type of fire department connection or level of hydraulic safety factor, in an easily accessible database.
We know that better communication can help contractors in the bidding process and help code officials get their needs met to better serve the community and their own first responders.

What's the Goal?
Phase 1 is a test case for viability, and Indiana is the test case.
Our goal is to gather local requirements for 70% of Indiana's population, and do it in just 30 days.

Why Indiana?
Indiana is our test-case. Indiana has a healthy mixture of urban, suburban and rural jurisdictions, so it presents a great test case to validate the concept. If we get enough momentum for Indiana, we feel confident in pursuing the project for larger coverage.
Why 70%?
In order for the project to provide a practical positive experience for designers and contractors, we feel that a designer or installer needs to find the information they need at least 70% of the time. Otherwise, with too sparse or scattered information we won't get the positive feedback loop that we need to keep keep the user experience great.
Why Contribute?
If you're an engineer, designer or installer, why should you contribute? For one - this is a way to clarify local requirements that will help in more fair and consistent bidding. Second - we'll thank you by crediting your contribution with a link from the local listing directly to your company's website. If someone is looking for a local contractor or design outfit, they can search a ZIP code and immediately have contact information to you, the person who they know is already familiar with the local requirements.
If you're a jurisdiction, why should you contribute? Simple - get your needs met. Are you tired of providing the same plan-review comments? Tired of answering the same basic questions in phone calls and emails? This platform is an easy way to clarify the gray areas of code and simply make your requirements more clear to those who are seeking them.
