To improve the accuracy and scope of our building inspections, we use drone technology. Drones offer a unique perspective, especially useful for inspecting high-rise buildings, large rooftops, and other hard-to-reach areas. This technology allows for quick identification of potential compliance issues without the need for scaffolding or ladders, reducing risk and saving time.
Our team uses infrared imaging to detect hidden problems not visible to the naked eye. This technology is crucial in identifying issues like electrical faults, HVAC leaks, or insulation deficiencies, which, if left unchecked, could lead to non-compliance with energy efficiency and safety standards under San Antonio's building codes.
We provide digital and real-time reporting capabilities that streamline the inspection process. Our digital reports offer detailed analyses and can be accessed immediately, enabling quicker decision-making and compliance adjustments. This system also helps maintain a transparent audit trail, which can be critical during the permitting process or post-inspection reviews.
Recognizing the importance of staying updated with the ever-evolving San Antonio building codes, we host regular workshops and seminars. These sessions are designed for property owners, developers, and builders to enhance their understanding of building regulations and the latest inspection techniques. Our workshops also cover code changes and best practices for ensuring compliance throughout the construction process.
San Antonio's rich heritage includes numerous historical structures, and renovating these properties requires special attention to remain compliant with current building codes while preserving historical integrity. Our inspectors are trained in specialized techniques tailored to historical preservation and retrofitting projects, ensuring that renovations meet modern standards without compromising their historical value.
