ICC Special Inspection

The International Code Council (ICC) was established in 1994 as a non-profit organization dedicated to developing a single set of comprehensive and coordinated construction codes aimed at protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public at large by creating safe buildings and communities. ICC Special Inspection involves the inspection of select construction practices by certified ICC Special Inspectors to help ensure adherence to local, national, and/or international building codes and standards.  ICC Special Inspectors are required to demonstrate the ability to apply technical specification and code compliance through the completion of the ICC examination and certification process. ICC certification examinations are maintained to the highest standards and include continuous review by committees of experienced professionals. Most building departments, state agencies, and third-party entities recognize ICC certification as the single most significant codes and standards credentials that building professionals can attain.

Our ICC Special Inspectors maintain current certifications in all of their respective inspection disciplines, and maintain the highest level of integrity, honesty, and fairness required by the ICC Code of Ethics (see below).  Our ICC Special Inspectors are recognized by both local contractors and code enforcement officials as being consummate professionals and are setting the bar for ICC Special Inspection in Alaska.
