179 Issues Caught Before Construction on a California K-12 Renovation
Cross-discipline code violations, accessibility gaps, and life-safety conflicts—surfaced before permitting to prevent costly RFIs and rework.
The Project
A California public elementary school renovation involving classroom modernization, MEP system upgrades, and full accessibility compliance. The project required coordination across architectural, structural, civil, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection scopes—all under DSA oversight.
Sample Findings
Fire Protection
Sprinkler hydraulic calculation inconsistencies and hazard classification conflicts between drawings and specs.
Accessibility (CBC 11B)
Missing wheelchair-accessible toilet compartments, protruding objects in circulation paths, and reach range violations.
Structural/Seismic
Missing seismic design parameters and unverified reuse of existing ceiling grid systems without bracing verification.
MEP Coordination
Pipe sizing contradictions between riser diagrams and floor plans, fire damper installation errors at rated assemblies.
Value Delivered
"InspectMind caught the kind of cross-discipline conflicts that slip through every manual review—life-safety issues that would have been flagged by inspectors, not by us."
