These inspections typically focus on compliance with local, state, federal,  fire safety, life safety, and sanitary codes, ensuring that facilities meet the necessary standards to protect occupants and reduce risks.

Building Code Inspections

Structural Safety: Inspecting the integrity of the building’s structure, including load-bearing components, to ensure they can handle occupancy and environmental stresses.

Mechanical: Inspects HVAC, ventilation, and refrigeration for safety and energy efficiency.

Electrical: Verifies wiring, panel load capacity, lighting, and outlet safety.

Plumbing: Checks water supply, drainage, and fixture installation for leaks, pressure, and code compliance.

Accessibility Compliance: Ensuring that the building meets ADA requirements, such as ramps, elevators, and other accommodations for individuals with disabilities.

Fire Safety Code Inspections

Fire Alarm and Detection Systems: Verifying that alarms and smoke detectors are in working order and meet local fire safety codes.

Fire Suppression Systems: Checking that sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers are properly installed, maintained, and accessible.

Egress Paths: Making sure that escape routes are clear and that doors are unobstructed, allowing for safe evacuation.

Fire-Resistant Materials: Assessing whether walls, doors, and other materials meet fire-resistance standards to contain fire spread.
