What are Special Inspections?

As per the 2008 NYC Building Code, the New York City Department of Buildings requires all construction projects to be specially inspected. This is to ensure construction work is done in compliance with all applicable building codes and the Department of Building’s approved plans and specifications. However, not just anyone can conduct these special inspections. In order to be in compliance, a registered NYC DOB special inspections agency must do the job. You cannot have your TR-1 processed or approved without a special inspections agency’s write-off.

What is the IAS?

In short, the IAS stands for the International Accreditation Service. As a subsidiary of the International Code Council, the IAS has worked since 1975 to provide objective evidence that an organization or agency functions at the highest level of ethical, legal, and technical standards. In a world that demands reliable products and services, accreditation is a necessity to determine what organizations will provide clients with the best experience.
