pre construction checklist

Our Construction Inspection Process

Onsite inspections of new, residential construction are made by Pacific InterWest's experienced and trained construction inspectors at specific stages during the construction process. Inspections include foundations, frame pre-wrap, building envelope, and building final. specializing in water proofing issues. Fire and sound inspections are now important components of the entire inspection process. For buildings that have below-grade handy hammer's pre construction quality control components, we prefer to perform a water proofing inspection on the substructure. A written report is furnished to the project superintendent along with digital photographs that indicate items that require corrective work. To enhance quality control the superintendent “closes the loop” by performing the corrective work, initialing the checklist form and faxing the corrective work form to our office. A more formal report of the construction inspection is then prepared and all reports are archived for the length of the builder liability period.

All our inspectors are ICC (International Code Council) certified.

"We have used Pacific InterWest for course of construction inspections on our projects for the past five years. They are very thorough and detailed with their inspection reporting. We have also used them on preconstruction design review and post construction. Their expertise has helped us shorten construction schedules and gave us value engineered designs, which improved quality and reduced costs. On a number of occasions Pacific InterWest has gone the extra mile to protect our interests."
