Many of you know that I make my living as a home inspector. Many also know that I do engineering and environmental(mold) inspections as well. Did you know that Houston is one of the largest markets for commercial property inspections? Now you do. Commercial building inspections are more important than you think. They’re not just for new construction projects, either. A commercial building inspection is a key part of making sure that your business continues to operate safely and efficiently day in and day out. Inspections can establish the baseline functionality of the building’s structure, check for any health and safety violations or uncover potential hazards that could put tenants and building occupants at risk. But perhaps most importantly, an inspection can validate stakeholder decisions about upgrading or repairing specific aspects of the property while helping you to coordinate with contractors to resolve matters efficiently. So, who conducts commercial building inspections and what will they check for? Call me, and I'll cover all of it. 281-220-9450. One call, does it all.

One of the things that really bothers me and it’s bothered me for a while, is that much of the public does not understand the various roles in the code official industry. If there’s a role that people are most familiar with it is building inspector, but there are other roles; plans examiner, for example, and of course building official. Here’s some really important nuances to be aware of when it comes to these roles. First, when you think about building inspectors and plans examiners, their entire day is not spent in their primary function. In fact, about five years ago, I broke down what our staff hours looked like in this regard and I determined that an inspector spends about 5 1/2 hours, on average, doing inspections each day. The rest of the day is spent answering questions, handling paperwork, getting certificates of occupancy ready and various other things that are behind the scenes. Second, Plans examiners spend just over 4 hours on a plan review each day, on average. The time they spend away from looking in various codes and actually conducting technical review, is to answer questions from the public, conduct research on something code related and they get assigned processed improvement tasks. This to say, the roles of building inspector and plans examiner are much more diverse and complicated than you really think they are. #codeofficial #buildingofficial #planreview #buildinginspector #permit #construction #publicservice

It looks like 2024 will be a big year for pipeline construction projects. It could be an opportune time for you to transition into the inspection side of the business if you have the necessary skills and background. I have written about this before but I feel it is worth revisiting based on recent inquiries here on LinkedIn. If you are looking to get into pipeline inspection, this is what I look for in hiring people that are new to inspection. Others may see it differently but this how I look at it. Just having an 1169, CIP, CWI or CPWI certification, isn’t enough. It’s important but it’s not everything. I look for people that have mid stream experience with contractors, sub contractors, survey, x ray, etc. I want people that know how to go to a new location (some are pretty remote), make living arrangements and live. Whether you care to admit it or not, this can be pretty overwhelming to some and it can take a sizable investment in transportation, room and board before you get a check. I look for new inspectors that come to me recommended by people I know. It’s important, if you’re thinking about inspection in your future, that you get to know people in inspection. Make it a point to meet the chief and assistant chief during a project. Get to know your crew’s inspector. Good inspectors on your project will be glad to show you their paperwork, methods, and talk about their responsibilities. Use your circle of connections to find people that can help you with introductions. I want inspectors that have had some supervisory experience. Typically, people that have led a crew have a better understanding of how a pipeline works on the office and paperwork side. You will need good computer skills and the ability to learn new things very quickly. There are various digital reporting programs in use these days by clients and you’ll need to get up to speed while performing your inspection duties. Lastly, you need equipment or access to equipment to perform your daily duties if hired. Such as a laptop, smartphone, reliable right of way worthy transportation, and the certified, specialized measurement tools for welding or coating, if that is your area. I hope this gives you some of the necessary background of getting into midstream inspection. I’m sure this doesn’t cover all the bases but it’s a start.

FWH Associates, P.A.'s own Lorenzo Cullari was asked to be a presenter for the #CAInj #WendesdayWebinar in October of this year. Lorenzo created a presentation on ‘The Importance of Construction Inspection’, he guided his audience through the levels of “what are construction inspections”, “what is a contractor vs. an engineer”, and most importantly “why do I need an inspector”. The importance of #collaboration between the contractor and the #inspector is imperative to help to ensure the quality and safety of both the #construction process and the finished asset. Inspections are related to monitoring and reporting in construction because both keep projects on track and rely on open #communication. The construction industry is an ever-changing networked industry, and collaboration is the key to learning, problem solving and effectiveness. Please see Lorenzo’s presentation below. #FWHassociates #TeamFWH #TomsRiverNJ #NewJersey #CivilEngineers #Engineers #StructuralEgineers #LandSurveyors #Planners #ConstructionInspection #Inspectors #ContractorsAndEngineers #ReserveSpecialists #CommunityAssociations #Collaboration #TeamWork
