The use of private inspections in lieu of municipal building inspections is growing throughout the country, particularly in areas with construction projects where size, complexity, and pace of construction are overwhelming. In many urban areas, building officials outsource inspection services to known professionals who have the necessary expertise.

Developers require third party inspectors to save time and construction costs because some completed work must be approved before additional work can begin.
