Our building inspectors are experts in soils, reinforced concrete, structural steel, structural masonry, wood framing, fireproofing, firestopping, and energy efficiency. We have the knowledge and training that certifies that expertise.

The Building Department will let you know what Special Inspections are required by them or the Architect/Engineer. Special inspections do not need to be initiated by the Building Department. You can contact us to perform a special inspection on your project, in order to protect your investment from problems that occur months or years after it is completed. |
| As the Inspection Agent, our qualified inspectors visit the project site and prepare inspection reports, including deficiency reports, for review bt the Special Inspector. Deficiency reports are followed by immediate correction or a second inspection to assure project requirement compliance. |

At the end of construciotn, we will prepare a Final Report of Construciton Inspection, required for issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
