Services / Third-Party QA/QC

An independent set of eyes, before it becomes a change order.

We inspect electrical and MEP work against plans, specs and code, at the milestones where problems are cheapest to fix. You get findings in writing, with photos.

Inspection lifecycle

Six checkpoints from plans to turnover

  1. 01

    Pre-construction

    Drawing and spec review, constructability and coordination concerns.

  2. 02

    Submittals

    Verify equipment and materials match what was specified.

  3. 03

    Rough-in

    Conduit, boxes, supports, separation and firestopping before walls close.

  4. 04

    Pre-energization

    Terminations, torque, labeling, grounding and bonding.

  5. 05

    Testing

    Witness tests and review results for completeness and validity.

  6. 06

    Closeout

    Punch list, as-built review and turnover documents.

What you receive

Findings you can act on

Every inspection produces a written log. Each finding has a location, a photo, the reference it violates, a severity and a corrective action, so the responsible trade knows exactly what to fix.

  • Deficiency log with photos and locations
  • Severity ranking so you fix what matters first
  • Tracking until each item is closed and verified
  • Closeout summary for owners and lenders

Also available

MEP coordination and field oversight

Systems fail at the boundaries between trades. Pair QA/QC with coordination and design review so conflicts are resolved before they are built.

See MEP services
  • Design review for constructability and code issues
  • Coordination of clashes between MEP trades
  • Commissioning support and punch-list management

Independence

How we keep it honest

When we provide third-party QA/QC, we inspect work we did not install. On projects where we are also the installing contractor, we will say so up front and agree the reporting arrangement with you in writing.

FAQ

QA/QC questions

When should we bring you in?

Earlier is cheaper. Pre-construction review and rough-in inspections catch issues before they are buried in walls. We also step in late, for failed inspections or turnover disputes.

Do you replace the code inspector?

No. We do not replace the authority having jurisdiction. We help the work be ready for their inspection and hold the contractor to the contract documents.

Can you inspect other trades?

Our core is electrical. For other MEP disciplines, tell us the scope and we will confirm what we can cover.

Need an independent inspection?

Send us the project scope and schedule.
