Building Inspection
CAA's staff of highly qualified and certified inspectors is among the finest in Southern California. They are thoroughly trained in the codes in use throughout California and they make a point to master the local amendments of each code. Our inspectors assure the highest degree of compliance with safety codes but they do more than that. They are sensitized to local zoning regulations and they maintain a close working relationship with planning personnel to assure compliance with zoning codes. They work equally well with Code Enforcement personnel and with Public Works staff. Building Inspectors should do more than provide prompt, courteous and thorough enforcement of building codes and CAA inspectors do.

Plan Review
Many cities share the problem that they do not have enough construction to justify a full-time plan review staff. Others have a tough time adjusting to peak demand periods without unnecessary and inefficient staffing up. CAA plan review service is the answer. Our plan review engineering staff will review building plans for compliance with building codes, energy laws, and state access requirements. They provide prompt and professional service to the citizens of your community.

Administration
Many cities desire the enhanced control provided by having an "in-house" Building Safety operation yet they cannot justify full-time supervision of just one or two inspectors. The answer is CAA Building Official Services. CAA can provide you with a qualified building official who responds to your needs for expert code interpretations and other staff support. A CAA building official can provide your inspectors with the technical supervision they need without the expense of a full-time staff position.

Management Studies
Is Council demanding that you justify that additional position in the budget? Are you overstaffed, understaffed or just right? Do you want to go "in-house" with your building department and need to define an appropriate staffing level and budget? Do you have questions about the quality of the building code enforcement in your city, about the qualifications of the inspection staff? A CAA Management Study can provide the answers you need to effectively manage your Building Safety program. CAA management experts have extensive experience in a wide variety of government settings. We can focus many decades of combined experience on your problem and provide you with workable solutions.

Transition Services
Are you frustrated with your present Building Safety service? Do they fail to respond to your needs? The answer may be CAA's unique Transition service. CAA staff will organize your Building Safety office, write your adoption ordinances, develop your procedures, establish training programs, provide trained inspection, clerical and counter staff. At the end of a CAA Transition program you will have an established Building Safety program without having to suffer the disruptions usually associated with starting up such a complex activity.

Codes Adoption Service
You are required by the State of California to adopt certain building codes and you are allowed only a limited time in which to adopt them. CAA will write your codes adoption ordinance for you.

Electronic Data Processing of Building Safety Records
Systematic records administration is the key to cost-effective management. CAA professionals provide effective data management systems with customized reports to meet your management needs.
