Arizona Construction Compliance: Document Review Considerations

Arizona construction projects must address extreme heat climate requirements in specifications and drawings. Phoenix and Maricopa County have local amendments affecting energy code and mechanical system design.

Requirements

Key compliance requirements

  • Arizona Energy Code compliance for extreme heat climate zones
  • Maricopa County local amendments for Phoenix metro projects
  • Arizona Department of Environmental Quality requirements
  • Soils report coordination with foundation specifications
Risk areas

Common contradiction areas

  • Energy code cooling load requirements conflicting with mechanical equipment specs
  • Soils report bearing capacity conflicting with foundation design in spec
  • Maricopa County amendments conflicting with IBC-based specification sections

Lintel catches the contradictions that create compliance risk, before your project breaks ground.
