Homes can be expensive to maintain, so it is important to understand the whole cost of owning one.  Nothing lasts forever, but when do you replace or repair?  How much expense will come up in the next 5-10 years?  These are important questions but not always so easy to answer.  4G offers assessments of a house's finish material condition and lifecycle stage so you can make informed decisions and financially plan further ahead more accurately.

We offer inspections for new construction projects to help ensure that everything is up to code and built to last. Our team will work with you throughout the construction process to identify  potential issues before they become major problems.  Most construction inspections are done over multiple visits at a few key phases..  The earlier you start with us the more prepared you will be for engaging with your contractor.  We can look for compliance with written or drawn specifications or advise on specifications and options early in the design and planning stage.

Not all municipalities provide or mandate inspections, so who is watching out for your best interests?  Trust people with experience in the process to get your project to the finish line in good form and with few headaches, and then rest easy knowing that it was all done properly and that nothing of concern is hiding behind your walls.
