Can you create a Rescheck while traveling?

Many of construction crews and professionals travel on a regular basis. What we want to look at today on the Reschexpert blog is the creation of Rescheck reports while on the road or traveling. Sit back and enjoy this perspective on Rescheck reporting that has never been explored before.
Rescheck reports are used to ensure the compliance to energy codes in residential additions, alterations, and new construction. Many times the location that the plans are drawn is far away from the actual jobsite. This distance can create a need to travel and possibly create some of the remaining construction documents on the road. A Rescheck is a great report that can be created while traveling, in transit, or on a remote jobsite.
Here are 4 ways to create a Rescheck report while traveling?
Rescheck Web: Rescheck Web is the mobile first software solution. You can pull Rescheck Web up on any internet ready device with an internet browser. That does not mean that you should. Rescheck Web will work best on a Desktop or a laptop. For a traveling Rescheck the device of choice would be a battery enabled laptop. A consideration you need to make for using Rescheck Web while traveling is that you will need a internet connection. Rescheck Web only works while connected to the internet. Mobile hotspots, satellite internet, cell data, and even finding the closest location to the jobsite that has coverage before entering a dead zone are all viable options. Rescheck Web is a great solution to create a Rescheck out of the office, assuming you have semi-reliable internet.
Rescheck Desktop: Rescheck Desktop is the original Rescheck software of creating Reschecks on the road. Rescheck Desktop is fantastic because you download the software to the hard drive of you desktop or laptop and then it runs in perpetuity without an internet connection. You can take a laptop with Rescheck Desktop to a jobsite without internet connection and create a Rescheck report quickly and efficiently. What is the catch? Well it is a big one, Rescheck Desktop does not contain the latest codes needed to create a more modern Rescheck. Rescheck desktop was updated up to IECC 2015 which is almost a decade old code now. So if you are planning to create an IECC 2024 Rescheck, IECC 2021 Rescheck, or IECC 2018 Rescheck this traveliing Rescheck solution will not work.
Simple Instructions to Complete a Rescheck
Pen and Paper: In the modern day of man versus machine the old fashioned method of calculating home energy audits by hand is becoming discriminated against by building departments and software elitists. A calculation done by hand expresses the knowledge of the individual creating the work. The solution to using pen and paper to create a Rescheck is to generate as much of the Rescheck as possible on a scratch paper. Then when you are done traveling and back to a suitable location to create your Rescheck report using Rescheck Desktop or Rescheck Web you simply enter the handwritten data into your chosen software and print the report. This method is not truly creating a Rescheck on the road but if you follow this plan you can create Reschecks even quicker once you reach your jobsite hotel, restaurant with wifi, or mobile construction office.
Rescheck.info: Rescheck.info is a Rescheck Service. We are a great option to create Reschecks while traveling. We charge $79 and it takes 4-6 hours. I worked on a nationwide construction crew for many years and the stresses of traveling and building maybe should not even include Rescheck report creation. If you need the Rescheck quick and for a low cost this is the tag team method. You can email PDF plans, jobsite address, and square footage to service@rescheck.info and we will take care of your Rescheck. This is a great solution to take care of a Rescheck report while driving, flying, or on a jobsite with zero connectivity.
