It will also give you the ability to schedule your inspections, leave a message for the field inspector that is needed for that inspection, such as phone number that is to be used to notify you when the inspector will be arriving at the job, or anything else that you feel the inspector may need. You will also be able to view any comments that the inspector may note at the time of the inspection.

Establishing Inspection Times
We do try to accommodate both the contractor as well as the homeowner in scheduling inspection that are convenient and workable for both the customer and the inspector. However, due to the volume of inspection we cannot set a specific time that we will be at your home or job site. You do have a few options however to try to establish a base time for your inspection. All of the inspectors can supply you with a window of an hour or two depending on their daily workload. We also do what we refer to as a "Call Ahead". This is accomplished by calling our office and talking with the actual inspector or their supervisor and supplying a contact telephone number and how much time you will require to be notified prior to the inspector arriving. Once this is established the inspector will call you and let you know that he will be arriving at you site in the arranged time frame. We suggest that you call our office the day of the inspection between 8:15 and 8:30 am
Ability to Schedule Inspections in Advance
With the automated inspection system, you have the ability to schedule inspection as much a nine (9) business days in advance. When you login to the system, you will be given the option to select the day you would prefer the inspection. Once this is set you will be give a confirmation number as you receive on any inspection request. Our system will then hold that request until the proper day you requested it.
