Inspections

Back Home Next

Large projects require a lot of inspections, which can overwhelm even relatively large building departments. Delays in inspections cost you time and money. Wouldn't you like to have an inspector on the job site at all times? You can... 

Key Benefits

Inspections made on the day you request them
Multi-discipline inspectors work with you to resolve problems
We work for the architect, not the contractor
We help your architect setup the program with the building department
Faster, more efficient inspections mean on-time schedules for your project
Minimal costs, when you consider the time savings

Discussion

The 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?
