A team of seasoned building and construction professionals has unveiled Code Pro Resources, a new web-based platform designed to make building code compliance simpler for everyone — from DIY homeowners to seasoned contractors.
Available at TheCodePros.com, the platform currently offers resources and expert support for building codes in eight Southeastern states, with plans to expand nationwide.
Founded by Brian L. Blackwell, Brent Bullard and Ruthie Helms — who together bring over 90 years of industry experience — Code Pro Resources aims to remove the stress and confusion that often surrounds construction code compliance.
“Our mission is to eliminate the time consuming and stressful aspect of understanding building codes and the uncertainty around if the project is in compliance,” said Brian L. Blackwell, founder of Code Pros. “Whether you’re a first-time DIYer or a seasoned contractor, our new platform connects you to certified experts who simplify the complexities, saving you time and money while building your confidence.”
The site provides resources for homeowners tackling remodels, contractors managing commercial builds, and architects needing insight into structural design, accessibility or fire safety rules. Certified experts break down complex regulations like the International Building Code (IBC) into clear, practical guidance.
By giving on-demand advice, Code Pro Resources helps users avoid costly mistakes, lost time, re-inspection fees, and project delays.
The service is available via flexible packages for both residential and commercial projects, with options ranging from one-off consultations to multiple-question bundles. Memberships unlock extra perks like free question credits, exclusive resources, and roundtable discussions with certified code officials.
Packages are priced to suit every need, from a single $39 residential question to custom scopes for complex commercial projects.
Blackwell, Bullard and Helms each hold multiple elite building certifications and have dedicated their careers to keeping communities safe through clear, enforceable standards.
The founders say the new platform also supports local economic development by helping builders and homeowners stay compliant without costly missteps that can slow down projects.
Code Pro Resources also aims to bridge the knowledge gap for first-time homeowners and house flippers tackling renovations that must meet modern energy, safety and accessibility codes.
Over time, the team plans to grow its library of expert articles, host live Q&A sessions, and expand its roster of certified advisors to cover every U.S. region. By making expert code knowledge accessible and affordable, they hope to build safer, more efficient communities — one compliant project at a time.
