At WSI, we have been providing Site Inspection Services since we were established in 1997.

Over the past 20+ years, we have provided flexible levels of input and demonstrated value to our clients by raising issues during the construction process that would otherwise have been overlooked. Such issues usually concern the use of sub-standard materials, shortcuts in acceptable building practices, or issues that would have created future maintenance problems and additional costs.
