Why should banks & lenders insist on ARBSC inspections?
Insures independent and proper inspections of a structure, in which the contractor and inspector's work is reviewed perodically through an independent thrid party. Using ARBSC inspections is an easy way to ensure inspections are made and properly documented.

How does the process work if I use ARBSC?
In general, once a job or home is signed up with ARBSC to be part of the program the contractor chooses an ARBSC certified inspector to perform the required inspections on the project. Upon completion of each inspection the inspector submits the inspection type and date completed to ARBSC to be posted for public view. If at any time the contractor and/or inspector have a code-related dispute the ARBSC review panel will be able to arbitrate and make rulings on the code for the project. For more information about how the program works, please view the page 'How It Works'.

What are the costs if I use ARBSC?
The fees to enroll a job into the program is not set, however, it is slated to not exceed $150. ARBSC is a non-profit company that will use the fees collected from enrolled jobs to cover costs of web maintenance and posting of inspections preformed for individual jobs.
