New Construction Inspections

Phase Inspections

This can be a series of inspections over the course of the construction of the structure or home.  We can come out and inspect as many times as you want, no less than four onsite phase inspections and one final inspection are recommended.  The cost for each phase inspection is around will run between $175 and $250 depending on the size of the home.  The final inspection will follow our normal inspection pricing.  Most homes will have 3 phase inspections and the final inspection.

Residential & Commercial Construction Draw Inspections

It is a proven fact that 3rd party inspections will save you time and money.  We offer several different levels of pricing that are based on the volume of inspections.   For residential lenders draw inspections start at $65 per visit; this is for homes under $700,000, add $10 per additional $100,000 or increment of.  We have provided services for Regions (AmSouth), Trustmark, Bancorp South, Reliant, and Wells Fargo (Wachovia) banks in Mississippi and Tennessee.  Many individuals who are not working with a bank still use our service, we become their eyes and ears at their site and keep them informed of the progress so the proper funds can be dispersed.  Draw inspections for individuals who are dispersing their own funds will start at $100 per draw/visit, many times this can be used in place of our phase inspection service.  Some of our clients like weekly or bi-weekly visits, it all depends on the scope of the project and the budget.

During the construction process we will inspect the residential job site and furnish a report on the status of the project. Our report includes percentage complete of all phases of construction and the total percent complete. We also provide comments concerning any problems noted and pictures.

Most of our residential inspections are made on our own pre-designed form using percentages of construction based on industry averages. We can use your forms or ones designed by our company. The percentages on our forms are based on actual local averages for your market area and national industry averages.

On larger residential or remodeling projects we can also work from the contractor's original cost projections and create an inspection form based on their numbers.

Commercial Draw Inspections are quoted by the project and are based on several factors.  Most fees average between $275 and $375 per draw on properties in our normal service area. This fee covers most projects under $7,000,000.  Please call 615-302-1113 for an exact quote or for additional information. Service area is 125 mile radius of Nashville, TN. Includes sections of Southern KY, Northern AL, and parts of North MS.

Invoice Verification

Quite often you or your customers would like an extra level of assurance on "Cost Plus" construction projects. We can assist you with this by providing detailed invoice verification. In this process we check each line item to determine if the material and labor you have been billed is justified. The fee for this type of service is based on our current hourly rate.

Construction Reviews and Cost Analysis
Prior to construction we will review all construction documents including plans, specifications, cost projections, contracts, engineering, environmental, time schedules, zoning, permits, and licenses. In the cost portion of our analysis we compare the projections to other similar projects to try and determine if all phases of construction have been addressed and if those costs are adequate to complete the project. The comparisons used are taken from our extensive database of local projects as well as national averages. We provide this service for residential, commercial, and development construction projects. The fee for this type of service is based on our current hourly rate. Note: This service is also available for "Problem" projects that are in trouble or appear to be heading for trouble.  We can offer this service in Tennessee and in Mississippi through a partner company.
