As a community-focused professional partnership, our primary goal is to help develop modern housing options through innovative solutions. One such emerging option is modular housing, which offers efficient and cost-effective construction. Over the past two years, Lakeside Consultants have extensively studied this method and its alignment with current building codes.
Builders working with communities unfamiliar with modular construction may encounter numerous challenges and roadblocks, including inspector exposure and adherence to existing building or zoning codes that may lack provisions for this construction method. However, our inspectors are well-trained and fully equipped to handle any modular regulatory inspection requirements.
To ensure accessibility and convenience, our solutions are available both on-site and virtually across the country. With the help of our new virtual inspection application and website Simplespect ™, modular construction projects can be efficiently inspected today.
Our team is skilled at listening to our client communities and translating those conversations and desires into simply enforced and administered regulations and standards, so you get the desired outcome with administrative efficiency and sound resource stewardship.
