SUMMARY
With the implementation of the 2003 International Building Code (IBC-03), the inspection requirements for construction projects in South Carolina have undergone several dramatic changes. CSI as a company is specifically designed to meet these requirements.
“DO ONE THING AND DO IT WELL”
It has long been an industry norm for the contractor or owner to employ an inspection firm to perform a variety of different inspections. This practice worked well over the years; however now the construction industry has evolved. It places more and more requirements and responsibilities on the special inspector. In order to meet these requirements; the qualification, certification and experience of special inspectors have been dramatically increased. CSI has drawn together a number of like-minded, highly qualified, highly certified steel inspectors to meet these needs. While we offer a wide array of inspection services, we also employ some of top people in the steel inspection field today.
BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH CSI

This enables them to not only correct problems as they occur, but in many cases to prevent them all together.
