Professional Masonry Special Inspections
Masonry is an important structural component in many buildings, which makes proper materials, placement, reinforcement, and workmanship essential. Our masonry special inspections provide independent verification while work is underway so potential deficiencies can be identified before they become more difficult or costly to correct.
Sabio Engineering Services works with building owners, developers, contractors, architects, and construction teams to provide dependable 3rd party masonry inspections for new construction, renovations, additions, structural modifications, and other projects requiring inspection oversight.
We can also assist projects that involve related structural design services when engineering support is needed beyond the inspection itself.

3rd Party Masonry Inspections for Code Compliance
A third-party inspection provides an independent review of construction work rather than relying solely on the contractor performing the installation. The purpose is to verify that applicable portions of the work are being completed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, and code requirements.
During a masonry inspection, our inspectors review applicable aspects of the work based on the project and required scope. This may include observing masonry units, reinforcement, grout, mortar, placement, connections, and construction methods.
When issues or nonconforming conditions are observed, identifying them during construction gives the project team an opportunity to address them before work progresses further.
