BUILDING INSPECTION
Depending on staff availability the Consultant will provide a certified building inspector or equal to
perform the following services on an as -needed, on -call basis:
• Upon authorization by the Jurisdiction, the inspector will perform building inspection work for
the Jurisdiction.
Generally advance notice of inspection requests are recommended and desired to assure
confirmation of staffing needed to provide inspection services. This is generally possible for
scheduled vacations, training events, and other known scheduling needs such as heavy workflow.
In the case of heavy work flow a jurisdiction provides notice that a set schedule, is requested (IE
Tuesday Thursday for the next 4 months starting March 1, etc.) while this method is desirable to
assure adequate staffing, unscheduled inspection requests may be made. Consultant respectfully
requests as much advance notice as possible and will work diligently to provide inspection staff
meeting your needs.
