Monitor Your Construction Project
With you every step of the way.
Progress inspections may take the form of scheduled weekly progress reports, or milestone inspections. Inspections follow generally accepted practices for monitoring and reporting completed work, and verifying conformance to the National Building Code of Canada, National Plumbing Code of Canada, and Canadian Electrical Code: latest editions. Larger municipalities may have an established building department that will oversee some or all of the milestones listed below. Ask what your building department, or provincial authority, is responsible for approving.
Regular inspections of a new home under construction are important for several reasons. First and foremost, these inspections may help to ensure that the home is being built to the appropriate building codes and standards, protecting the safety of the occupants, structural integrity, durability, and performance of the home.
Additionally, regular inspections can help to identify any potential problems or issues with the construction process, allowing for corrections to be made before the problems become more serious and costly to fix. This can help to prevent delays in the construction process and can also help to ensure that the finished home is of the highest quality.
Overall, regular inspections by inspectors are an important part of the construction process, as they help to ensure that the finished home is safe, of good quality, and built to the appropriate standards.
