Does Inspec perform the repair work shown in these projects?
No. Inspec is a consulting engineering and architecture firm. We inspect, test, investigate, prepare construction documents and observe the work as it is built. The physical repair or replacement is performed by contractors, who are typically selected through a bidding process using the documents we prepare for the owner.
Where can I find projects that are open for bidding?
Completed project profiles live on this page. Current opportunities are listed separately on our bidding page, which is where contractors should look for open Inspec projects and the associated bidding information. The two are kept apart so that owners researching past work and contractors seeking bid documents each find the right material.
My building has symptoms like one of these profiles. Does that mean the cause is the same?
Not necessarily. Water staining, efflorescence and recurring leaks all have several possible sources, and the visible symptom rarely sits directly below the actual defect. A profile can suggest what to look for, but confirming a cause takes a site visit and, in most cases, testing or exploratory openings on your specific assembly.
