What do building inspectors do?

Building inspectors do important work to keep people safe. Building inspectors regularly check structural quality, architectural requirements, safety and enforce local, state, and national codes. Additionally, they inspect mechanical and electrical systems.

Building inspectors do thorough walk-around checks. They are employed by the city, county or state, and enforce a set of standards. When someone applies for a building permit at a personal or commercial level, inspections are done to ensure that work is done legally and properly.
