Key Benefits
DiscussionThe Uniform Building Code (used almost exclusively in Colorado) allows for certain inspections to be performed by "Special Inspectors". Normally building departments will use this provision to require outside inspection for things that the building department does not have either the expertise or the time to inspect. But why not use this system to your advantage? If you have a medium to large project in a medium to small city (or a large city/county that is backlogged on inspections) there could be significant project delays by the time the building department performs the inspections you need in order to move on. Once our managers work with your architect to approve an inspection program with the building official, our certified inspectors will be available 24/7, if necessary, to keep your inspections - and your project - moving along. We provide all the required reports and inspection cards to the building official, and return a certificate of occupancy to you at the end of the project. Your contractor's work is still overseen by a professional inspection process (frankly, we think our inspectors are the cream of the crop), but with faster and more efficient service than any building department could provide. OK, we admit there is a downside: you have to pay us, plus all the standard fees to the building department. Consider this, however: if we get the C.O. to you three months faster than you would otherwise get it, how much is that worth to the project?
