What Is a Special Inspection and Why Is It Required?
Special Inspections go far beyond a routine building department visit — here’s what they actually verify, and why skipping them costs more than the inspection itself.
Read Article →Special Inspections play a critical role in ensuring that structural components are installed in accordance with approved plans and building code requirements. Unlike routine building department inspections, Special Inspections involve continuous or periodic verification of specific construction activities by qualified professionals.
These inspections help identify issues before they become costly failures, improve construction quality, and provide documentation demonstrating compliance with project requirements.
For owners and contractors, Special Inspections are not simply a regulatory requirement — they are an important quality assurance tool that helps protect investments and reduce risk.
Proper inspection today can prevent expensive repairs tomorrow.

5 Costly Problems Special Inspections Can Prevent
Construction defects are cheapest to fix the moment they happen — and most expensive once the work is buried behind finishes. Here’s what inspections catch in time.
Read Article →Construction defects are often discovered after the work is complete, when corrections are most expensive.
Special Inspections help identify issues before they become major problems.
Examples include:
- Missing reinforcement
- Improper concrete placement
- Welding deficiencies
- Incorrect bolt installation
- Deviations from approved plans
Identifying these issues during construction allows corrections to be made before they impact project schedules, budgets, or long-term building performance.
Quality control during construction is significantly less expensive than repairs after construction.
