Today we are recognized as one of the building industry’s most prominent construction consulting inspection firms in the country. We work exclusively with builders performing in-process inspections at the foundation, pre-drywall and final stages of construction. Burgess offers monthly analysis reports on the progress and improvement of each home or project by measuring Trades’ and Superintendents’ attention to quality and consistency. We also perform Superintendent training, warranty inspections and construction consulting.
