Massachusetts just rewrote the rulebook — and most builders haven't caught up.

The 2026 updates to 780 CMR (10th Edition) are the biggest revision in a decade:
• New 3-tier energy code — base, stretch, and net-zero municipal opt-in
• 300+ towns now on stretch code — the rules change at the town line
• New ADU fire separation and egress standards
• EV-ready electrical now mandatory in new 3+ unit buildings

Here's what that means on the ground: the town you pulled a permit in last year may have different energy requirements than the town you're working in today. Miss the tier, fail the inspection, lose weeks.

This is exactly why we exist. Licensed supervision, permit support, and code review under a real MA Construction Supervisor License (CS-118216) — so the paperwork never stops the work.

After the LA fires, California waived CEQA and Coastal Act reviews for fire-rebuild permits, got average local review under 30 days, and is rolling out free AI plan review. Meanwhile in Massachusetts, a simple permit can still take months of hearings, continuances, and paper.

That contrast is the whole point. In this state, getting to the job site is the hard part — and it's the part we handle: permits, code compliance, inspection support, under a real MA Construction Supervisor License (CS-118216).
