Compliance-Driven Inspections and Consulting Services

Compliance forms the foundation of safe façade maintenance and effective building management. As façade access consultants, we deliver inspection and advisory services that help building owners and facility managers operate safely and stay fully compliant with regulatory standards.

OSHA Standards and Worker Safety

Our inspection programs comply with OSHA for BMUs. Each inspection verifies that our units operate safely and effectively. By partnering with certified inspection providers, building owners reduce liability, maintain compliance, and ensure a safe working environment. Proactive inspections mitigate risks and support reliable building maintenance over the long term.

ANSI and CSA Guidelines for North America

In addition to OSHA, inspections are carried out in accordance with ANSI and CSA guidelines. This ensures façade access systems are not only functional but also fully compliant with U.S. and Canadian codes. Our inspection services provide confidence that every system aligns with regional standards for safety and performance.

Local Regulations and Retrofit Compliance

Local building codes often vary across North America, particularly in retrofit and new construction projects. We provide consulting services to help clients meet these requirements, reducing the risk of delays and costly rework. By aligning inspections with regional regulations, we help keep projects on schedule and buildings compliant.

Regular Inspections That Safeguard Buildings and People

Annual inspections, periodic inspections, and visual inspections are a critical part of responsible building maintenance. Regular inspection services confirm that façade access systems continue to operate safely.

For building owners, the benefits extend beyond safety. Regular inspections reduce the likelihood of unexpected repairs, protect investments in equipment, and provide a clear record of code compliance. With reliable inspection data, building engineers and facility management can plan maintenance with confidence and maintain secure operations. The result is safer façade maintenance, fewer disruptions, and long-term reliability across all access systems.

Load Testing and Performance Verification

Load testing is a key requirement of OSHA and regional building codes, confirming that façade access systems and fall protection equipment can perform safely under real working conditions. Our inspection services include load testing and performance verification for building maintenance units, davits, suspended platforms, and related equipment.

For building owners and contractors, documented load testing provides confidence that equipment remains compliant and dependable. Regular performance verification not only reduces risk but also extends the service life of critical assets, supporting safe and uninterrupted building maintenance.

Building owners often face the challenge of balancing compliance, budget constraints, and uninterrupted operations. A failed inspection or overlooked regulation can halt façade maintenance, increase liability, and lead to costly rework — that’s where our expertise makes the difference.

As façade access consultants, we deliver inspection programs that go beyond OSHA and ANSI compliance to proactively identify potential risks before they impact daily building use. Our team understands how access systems integrate with roofs, mechanical equipment, and façade structures, enabling us to detect issues early and recommend practical, cost-effective solutions.
