Construction Inspections

When building a new home or modifying an existing home, it is important to ensure the quality of the construction and to adhere to a strict attention to detail. This service includes regular inspections during the course of the construction. Inspections set at predetermined stages of construction are the best way to ensure quality throughout the construction process. Before you make one of the largest investment of your life take some time to research these important points:

• You will need plans designed by an architect and have purchased sufficient copies to work from.
• Don't you use a generic contract supplied by the contractor without customizing it to protect you.
• What qualification are you looking for in a contractor and do you intend to solicit bids?
• Does your city or county require minimum building codes? If not, will you require code compliance?
• Will you require a detailed itemized estimate to verify draw request?
• Will detailed construction specifications be incorporated into your contract? If not, who will determine the quality of materials used?
• Will you perform the quality control and contract compliance or will you hire and independent inspector?
• Will progress payments be verified and lien wavers secured?
• Will a performance and payment bond be required?
• Will 10% be retained pending the completion and acceptance of the project?
