What Code unlimited does

Code Unlimited was a Pacific Northwest code consulting and fire protection engineering firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Bend, Oregon, with additional offices in Seattle, Portland, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Las Vegas. The firm specialized in building code compliance, performance-based design, hazardous materials consulting, egress modeling, engineering judgments, and accessibility compliance for architects, developers, building owners, government agencies, and property managers. Notable technical specializations included mass timber construction support (since 2015), healthcare life safety, and emerging-hazard consulting (combustible dust, lithium-ion battery safety, industrial process safety). The firm deployed a suite of proprietary digital platforms — ProtectAdvisr, RiskAdvisr, HazAdvisr, DataAdvisr, and SMARTPLAN — that supported property protection, risk assessment, hazard management, data analytics, and emergency planning workflows.

The business model was fee-for-service professional consulting, with revenue generated through project-based engagements priced on scope and complexity rather than disclosed rate cards. Distribution was direct consultant engagement with enterprise and mid-market clients, with named logos including Meta, Bora Architects, and Bernardo|Wills Architects. The firm's differentiation rested on an 'unlimited possibilities' approach to code interpretation, emphasizing creative performance-based design pathways rather than prescriptive compliance.

Code Unlimited has been fully acquired by Jensen Hughes, a global fire protection and safety engineering firm operating since 1939, and is now integrated as a strategic Pacific Northwest capability within Jensen Hughes's broader services platform spanning fire engineering, code consulting, emerging hazards, energy and utilities, security risk, and emergency management. The founders (Samir and Asawari Mokashi) remain with the organization, and the combined entity competes across verticals including government, healthcare, nuclear power, petrochemical, manufacturing, mission-critical, and transit.
