Diverse Range of Special Inspections Our certified technicians are skilled in conducting various inspections throughout the construction process.

Report Distribution & Non-Conformance reporting Solutions

At Big Apple Group, client satisfaction is paramount, and we have developed innovative solutions to streamline the reporting and inspection process. Our approach includes:

  • Expedited Report Distribution: Utilizing a central data system, we connect field inspectors, engineers, project managers, and office personnel, enabling instant report uploads and reviews. This system allows for immediate availability of reports to our engineering department and swift release to clients.

  • Optimal Non-Conformance Resolution: Unlike other agencies, Big Apple doesn’t just issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs); we actively assist in resolving them. Our dedicated department for Non-conformance Resolution reviews NCR logs daily and aids in facilitating corrective actions until compliance is achieved, streamlining the NYC DOB inspection report process.

Recognizing the unique challenges of each project, Big Apple offers guidance and support in adhering to code requirements while considering the specific needs of your project. Our innovative systems and expert team contribute to a faster construction inspection close-out process.
