As certified OSHPD Inspectors of Record  we understand the importance of performing services in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and in accordance with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, Project Management, Design, and Construction of Buildings, Under OSHPD Jurisdiction by the codes and regulations.

In providing the needed technical support required to accomplish the scope of work set before us, OSHPD Inspectors will apply creative solutions to complex problems; encourage team building among project participants; maintain constant communication both up and down the ladder; set and ensure achievement of total quality management objectives; and closely monitor resource allocations and expenditures, goal attainments, and project team performance.

OSHPD Inspectors play a key role in the management, planning, and successful execution of projects which require working with decision-makers, project managers, architects, and owners, on institutional/facility development. We will provide personal supervision of sub-consultants, special inspectors and/or material field testing technicians.
