BOATWRIGHT BUILDING CONSULTANTS
Boatwright Certified Building Inspection, Inc., dba Boatwright Building Consultants, provides comprehensive home & building inspections. We evaluate homes, multifamily dwellings, commercial buildings and industrial properties. Founded in 1979, we have inspected more than 35,000 properties. These properties include modest single-family dwellings, large estates, apartments, hotels, shopping malls, banks, high-rises, office & commercial complexes, hospitals, industrial buildings, country clubs and golf courses. We also provide structural engineering and evaluation, forensic investigation for expert witness testimony, and construction oversight.
A wise buyer also buys a thorough inspection.
The purchase of real property is one of the largest investments you will make in your lifetime. That is why it is imperative to choose the right inspection company. Otherwise, the entire inspection can be useless, and could result in tens of thousands of dollars in unplanned repair bills. Because inspector qualifications are unregulated in most states, the prudent buyer should do the research and check the credentials of the inspector they choose. The adage "You get what you pay for.", unfortunately is too often true, and low inspection fees may not be the bargain they seem.
Did you know that California does not license building inspectors?
In fact, anybody can represent themselves as a building inspector, regardless of their inexperience or lack of qualifications. Even a licensed contractor or someone who has been doing inspections for years may not be competent to inspect the myriad of systems and components included in the construction and maintenance of buildings.
How do you know if an inspector is qualified?
A competent inspector will have passed written comprehensive certification exams in the codes, such as those given by the International Code Council, and also be a member of the California Real Estate Inspection Association and/or the American Society of Home Inspectors. This is your assurance that they are professionals, and that they have demonstrated through testing and experience their knowledge and understanding of the different building systems and their various components.
All Boatwright inspectors have taken and passed such exams.
We are well-qualified. We encourage you to check our credentials.
