Building Inspection

tri-dot

General Engineering Company’s Building Inspection Division has provided municipal building inspection services since 1998 and currently provides services for over 300 municipalities in the State of Wisconsin.

Our inspectors are versed in Uniform Dwelling Codes (UDC) and Commercial Construction Codes.

What makes us unique is that we offer specialized expertise in residential and commercial construction. Our Inspection Division has access to structural engineers, architects/designers, master electricians, master plumbers, and environmental inspectors that can provide back-up knowledge and experience on potential complexities that come up routinely in the construction industry.

Our philosophy is centered on a fair, but firm inspection principle. We are reasonable in our interpretations and work with our contractors and permitees towards code compliance. We take time to educate, rather than dictate.

FAQ

How much will my permit cost?

Each municipality will determine their own fee schedule so there is not one price or fee that fits all. You will have to contact your municipal clerk or building inspector to determine the correct fee for the type of permit you require.

How do I find out who the building inspector is for my area or municipality?

Often times your building inspector and contact information is listed on your municipality's website. Another great way is to contact your municipality directly. Lastly, you are always welcome to contact our office.

How do I know if I need a permit?

Every municipality has their own unique ordinances and codes, so where one municipality will require a permit, another municipality will not. It is always best to contact your local government office directly or contact the building inspector for your area.
