Class 1 Special
Inspections
Since 2012, Outsource Consultants has provided comprehensive Special Inspection services across New York City's construction landscape.
The NYC Building Code requires special inspections for critical construction elements that directly impact structural integrity and life safety. These Class 1 inspections must be performed by a DOB-recognized Special Inspection Agency, and the results directly determine whether a project can receive its Certificate of Occupancy.
Since 2012, Outsource Consultants has provided comprehensive special inspection services for projects ranging from single-family renovations to major commercial developments. Our team of licensed inspectors is trained in every Class 1 inspection category, including concrete, structural steel, welding, fireproofing, mechanical systems, spray-applied fire-resistive materials, and post-installed anchors.
We maintain rigorous quality control procedures and same-day reporting standards that keep your project documentation current. Our inspectors coordinate directly with general contractors and project managers to minimize scheduling conflicts and ensure inspections occur at the correct construction milestones. When it comes time for sign-off, our documentation is already complete and DOB-compliant.
