THIRD-PARTY RISK MANAGEMENT INSPECTIONS Century is partnered with multiple Third-Party building Inspection Firms to help increase our quality while decreasing our risk. Said differently, these firms help us become better builders. Due to their expertise in building science, we look to our Third-Party Inspectors to help us identify construction issues and develop our Construction Standards. These inspections are also required by our insurance company for specific building types. Our Third-Party Inspection Companies are required to inspect 30% of all single-family detached homes under construction, and in most cases, 100% of all single-family attached and multi-family homes. The Inspector reviews several systems and subsystems, compiles their findings and provides an open item report for the division based on their compliance with Century’s Construction Standards. These open items are required to be repaired or corrected within 3 business days of receiving any open item reports. Best Practice When an Inspector is in your community, walk every home with them. They possess a wealth of knowledge and can provide insight into different ways to increase your quality and decrease your risk. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about construction and how to build a better home. It will also give you an opportunity to understand what your Inspector is looking for and will allow you to provide background on any issue that arises. IMPORTANT! It is Century’s requirement to abate items from Third-Party inspections within 3 days so identified items are not potentially covered up by subsequent work. The same or next day is ideal, with 3 days being the maximum allowable time. Upon completion, we must notify our Third-Party inspectors (via email, or if applicable, on the Third-Party’s app) that the open item was successfully abated.
