Builder’s Home Inspection

The builder’s home inspection is sometimes referred to as an ICBO (International Council of Building Officials) or ICC (International Code Council) inspection.  This is actually a series of inspections we perform for builders or people that are having a home built in the Mat-Su Valley.  This area includes Wasilla, Palmer, Big Lake, Sutton, Houston, Willow, and Talkeetna, Alaska.  This inspection series includes a review of the builder’s plans, as well as an inspection of the following:

• Footings
• Foundation
• Water or damp-proofing of the foundation
• Rough-in inspections of the structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical components
• Insulation and vapor barrier
• Final inspection of the completed home.

The builder’s home inspection includes a minimum of six inspections, as well as a PUR 102 at the end of the project.

Remember, we also provide this service and consulting services for owner-builders.  Inspections follow the 2012 International Residential Code (IRC), the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and plumbing and electrical codes as adopted by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC).

Light-Commercial Inspection

This service includes a review of the builder’s plans, as well as on-site inspections of the construction process to ensure compliance with the engineered plans and/or the International Building Code (IBC).  At the conclusion of the project, we issue the builder a letter detailing our independent inspections of the construction process.
