Scale Your Building Department | SAFEbuilt Webinar

Fill Staffing Gaps Quickly

Get certified inspectors the day after someone retires or calls in sick, not six months into recruiting.

Pre-Position for Disasters

Set up on-call contracts now so teams deploy immediately after hurricanes, tornadoes, or hailstorms.

Eliminate Hidden Operating Costs

Cut salary, benefits, vehicles, insurance, and HR expenses. You pay only on days you need help.

Handle Permit Surges Remotely

Process thousands of roof permits after a hailstorm through electronic review while your counter staff stays focused on walk-ins.

Support Major Projects Separately

Assign dedicated teams to large subdivisions or complexes while your core staff handles routine inspections and permits.

Build Your Succession Plan

Bring in experienced building officials to mentor junior staff for 18-24 months, then transition to on-call support.
