Threshold Inspection Services Why Do I Need Threshold Inspection? In order to ensure structural component conformance of larger structure, the state of Florida Building Construction Standards enacted Chapter 553, which defines a "threshold" building as: "Any building which is greater than three stories or 50 feet in height, or which has an assembly occupancy classification that exceeds 5,000 square feet in area, and an occupant capacity of greater than 500 persons." This standard also specifies that a building of this size must have threshold inspector services including a final conformance certification by a qualified Special Inspector. On a typical threshold project, an "agent" of the licensed Special Inspector conducts a majority of the inspections. This agent is specially trained and qualified to perform structural element inspections as per Florid Building Code. They perform their duties under the supervision and authority of the Special Inspector. Because our threshold inspector representative are engineers , they are trained in engineering aspect of construction design and inspections and are not regular laboratory testing technicians, who have either limited engineering education or experience as an engineer in daily construction activities. This can reduce manpower requirements for staffing the project, thereby saving our clients money. When construction schedules dictate that the agent of the Special Inspector is needed for threshold inspection services, we are capable of supplying additional engineering staff. We only provide Engineers representatives who are engineers and not just construction technicians. Threshold Inspections Why Do I Need Threshold Inspection?

On a typical threshold project, a "representative" of the licensed Special Inspector conducts a majority of the inspections. This representative must comply with the guidelines of Florida Building Code and Threshold Inspectors laws and qualified to perform structural element inspections. They perform their duties under the supervision and authority of the Special Inspector. Because our threshold representatives are engineers and not technicians so they have sound knowledge of engineering which is LACKING in many so called threshold agents by various testing laboratories, who are not engineers with engineering education and experience, not have the means to interpret the code, design drawings and contract documents. When construction schedules dictate that more representatives of the Special Inspector is needed for threshold inspection services, we are capable of supplying additional engineering technicians to perform the materials testing in accordance with the agent of the Special Inspector. We have a large staff ready and available.
