HCAI (OSHPD) Compliance Observations

Inspection services for healthcare facilities regulated by HCAI (formerly OSHPD), including compliance with seismic anchorage, fire-resistive assemblies, infection control, and systems testing in accordance with approved plans and state codes.

Concrete Placement & Reinforcement (Rebar)

Verification of formwork, rebar layout, and placement prior to concrete pours. Monitoring of concrete delivery, consolidation, curing, and field testing to ensure structural integrity.

Post-Tensioned Concrete Systems

Inspection of post-tension cable installation, stressing, and anchorage. Verification against shop drawings and project specifications to ensure safety and performance.

Masonry Construction

Observation of CMU wall construction, grout placement, and reinforcing steel installation. Verification of compliance with approved plans, materials, and lift heights.

Wood Shear Walls

Inspection of wood-framed shear wall systems, including hold-downs, nailing patterns, blocking, and panel installation. Verification of shear transfer detailing and conformance with structural drawings and code requirements.

Structural Steel & Welding (Field & Shop)

Inspection of steel framing, bolted and welded connections, and material certification. Monitoring of field and shop welding activities per AWS and AISC standards.

Epoxy Anchors & Adhesive Systems

Verification of epoxy anchor installation procedures including drilling, cleaning, embedment depth, and curing. Ensuring compliance with ICC-ESR listings and structural drawings.

Fire & Life Safety Compliance

Inspection of fire-rated assemblies, penetration firestopping, spray applied fireproofing, fire dampers, and emergency egress components. Ensuring life safety features meet CBC and UL systems.

Mechanical Systems

Inspection of HVAC units, ductwork, seismic restraints, and mechanical piping. Verification of equipment mounting, insulation, access, and system performance.

Electrical Systems

Inspection of conduit, wire sizing, grounding, panelboards, and GFCI installations. Ensuring compliance with California Electrical Code and approved construction documents.

Plumbing Systems

Verification of rough and finish plumbing, drainage slope, venting, insulation, and hydrostatic testing. Ensuring installation aligns with the California Plumbing Code and project plans.

Harbor Day School Newport Beach

HB Inspection Services provided high-level inspections at Harbor Day School in Corona del Mar, California. This project demanded exceptional attention to detail and full compliance with building code requirements. Our inspections covered reinforced concrete, structural steel, seismic load resisting systems, and fireproofing. We ensured all work met or exceeded code and specification standards, contributing to a safe, high-quality educational facility built to serve generations of students.

Solar Shade Structure – Powering Schools with Clean Energy

This photovoltaic (PV) shade structure was installed at a school campus to provide energy-efficient shading while generating renewable power.

As the Inspector of Record, I verified structural anchorage, conduit support, proper clearances, and code-compliant installation per DSA requirements.

These systems do more than offer shade — they contribute to California’s clean energy goals while protecting students and staff from excessive heat.

Ladera Linda Community Center – Quality Control at Every Step

This project at Ladera Linda Community Center in Rancho Palos Verdes showcases full-scope construction inspection and oversight.

Continuous verification provided of seismic design elements, structural components, Accessibility ADA, and MEP's.

Public facilities like this demand long-term durability, safety, and functionality — and my role is to ensure every component meets code, standards, and the approved plans.

Orange County Health Care Campus – Inspection for Critical Infrastructure

This inspection took place at the Orange County Health Care Campus, a facility built to serve the community’s essential medical health needs.

As part of the inspection team, I verified compliance with building standards, structural safety, MEP installations, ADA accessibility, and overall life safety systems.

Healthcare construction requires precision and accountability — and every system inspected here contributes to a safe, functional environment for staff and patients alike.
