Builders and contractors
When an owner questions an installation, your word and theirs are two opinions. A documented inspection by an accredited NRCIA member, to a published standard, is a finding both of you can work from.
What keeps you up
An allegation about work you did, and nobody neutral to look at it.
What the standard gives you
An independent, documented verification of the installation, before final payment or after a dispute.
What fits
Whether an installation or repair was performed as specified, commissioned before final payment or after a dispute.
One attribute examined in depth: code, the manufacturer’s installation requirements or workmanship.
When a defect allegation needs cause, origin and proximate cause established.
Why independence matters to you
A finding both sides can work from.
Builders and general contractors defending an allegation commission forensic work for the same reason owners do: a neutral finding moves a dispute faster than two opinions. The inspector’s report keeps what they saw apart from what they conclude, so either side can test it.
The moments
The installation verified against the specification while everyone is still talking.
A neutral finding on whether the work was performed as specified.
Workmanship, materials, design or maintenance, separated and weighed.
Whether the installation met what the manufacturer requires.
In their words
We called NRCIA in the middle of our re-roofing project because things were not going well… That evening, before we even got the report, our roofer called to apologize and tell us the job was done below standard, so they wanted to redo the roof from scratch.
“I have made it a priority to hold myself to a higher professional standard in a largely unregulated market… NRCIA has provided a practical framework for putting that knowledge to use, in reporting that property owners can understand and rely upon.”

Questions
Something else? Ask us directly.
Neither side. The inspector documents what the evidence shows, and the report keeps observation apart from conclusion so both of you can test it.
Yes. Builders and general contractors commission verification and defect work, as owners and associations do. The report is prepared for whoever commissions it.
