Special Inspections and Progress Inspections are required at the different stages during a building construction. AmeriTesting inspectors coordinate on site with the project General Contractor and project superintendent and work shoulder to shoulder to accelerate the process of inspections ensuring all building conditions substantially comply with the project specifications, approved construction documents, and applicable NYC Building Code requirements. In addition, we coordinate directly with the project expeditor to confirm all requirements have been achieved for a successful final sign-off.
