The Difference Savings

Real Past Builders, Trades + Construction Geniuses/Enthusiasts With Real-World Experience: Spearheaded By Brian Cornwell + REAL experienced past builders, tradespeople and construction genius/enthusiast inspectors. Backed by Colorado’s highest training, hiring and education standards.

Training, certifications, memberships, and licenses:

More time spent per inspection, less hidden health hazards and expensive future repairs: All hustle, no hassles. We cap our multi-hour inspections to 1-2 per day per inspector MAX because you entrust us to identify your property’s weaknesses and potential issues. This is the first time anyone has ever openly promised to give your property this kind of remarkable attention and focus.

Seriously data driven: The most advanced technology and comprehensive testing ever: FREE thermal imaging survey included with every inspection. Most inspectors today carry a few ~20 basic tools. Building Supporters brings over 200+ advanced, calibrated, and highly specialized tools to your property.

Over 200+ specialized tools as needed including: Sewer + ductwork scopes, thermal cameras, continuous radon monitors, sound level meters, voltage, continuity, and current testers, pinless moisture meters, AFCI/GFCI testers anemometers, combustible gas detectors, carbon monoxide analyzers, microwave leak detectors, and more.

Did you know that NONE of these things are required by inspection industry standards? Most inspectors don’t do them. As Colorado’s only High Performance inspection, we do all these extra things at no extra cost.

Infrared Thermographic Surveys included with every High Performance inspection for FREE.
Advanced infrared technology allows us to potentially detect a broad spectrum of issues lurking unseen within your property’s walls.

Most Popular High Performance Commercial Inspection Add On:

Zip Level Survey: For roofing inspections, the zip level is a valuable tool for measuring the elevations of different sections of the roof, such as flat roofs like Built-up Roof (BUR), Modified Bitumen (Mod-Bit), Concrete, TPO, EPDM, PVC, and more. Analyzing the roof’s slopes and angles helps assess the overall condition and integrity of the roofing system. The zip level system can identify issues such as ponding, sagging roof decks, installation errors like crushed insulation, and more, providing valuable insights into the roof’s health and potential defects.

We Look Where Others Don’t:

Building Supporters owns and maintains readily available JCB scissor lifts certified for indoor and outdoor inspections. S1930E is our model of choice as the extension outreach platform and compact dimensions make it perfect for operating in tight, restrictive spaces, including most narrow and low-height doorways. Max working height is 24′ 9″. When beneficial to the inspection process, we will transport our lifts to your property at zero cost to you.

No waiting, ever. Get your high performance report delivered digitally on the same day (*for most commercial properties). We welcome walk-throughs at the end of every high performance inspection: Get to know your property inside and out.

Multi-hour, high performance inspections tell the full story of your property. Each is meticulously crafted to give you more negotiation power for repairs or cash back at closing. For properties sold as-is, you may find that the cost of repairs is more than you initially expected.
