Special Inspection Services
Special inspection is the monitoring of materials, installation, fabrication, erection and placement of components and connections that require special expertise that are critical to the integrity of the structure. Special inspection is required to ensure compliance with the approved construction documents (plans) and standards referenced in the applicable codes.
