Accurate Building Inspection
Services, Inc. has performed thousands of building and mold related assessments
over the years. This field experience combined with the technical training I continue
to received in order to meet the Continuing Education requirements as a CIE (Certified
Indoor Environmentalist) with the ACAC (American Indoor Air Quality)
as well as the state of Florida requirements along with active participation in
the IAQA (Indoor Air Quality Association) annual seminars and the AIEH (Accredited
Indoor Environmental Hygienist) accreditation, is substantial.
Additional training also includes meeting the requirements of FABI (Florida Association
of Building Inspectors) as an RPI (Registered Professional Inspector)
as well as the NAHI (National Association of Home Inspectors) CRI (Certified
Real Estate Inspector) designations with over 30 additional educational
credit hours per year.
I have held the Chief Maintenance Building Engineers position at Apartment
Buildings and Condominiums in Florida and New York and have served as a consultant
to numerous Condominium Boards, Commercial Property and Facility owners regarding
Environmental and Mold issues, facility maintenance projects, and have performed
thousands of Commercial, Residential, ASTM E2018-01 PCA inspections and Environmental
Assessments for Insurance Companies, Mortgage Companies, Lending Institutions, Attorneys,
Individuals and Corporate property owners, as well as the United States Government
(US NAVY) at the Key West Naval Air Station facilities after Hurricane Katrina.
Additional industry related involvements include an Adjunct Instructors position
at Miami Dade College teaching Mold Remediation as well as peer review for the ANSI
IICRC S-520-2008 (Standard & Reference Guide for Professional Remediation)
which all contribute to my ability to provide reliable and thorough investigations,
assessment reports, remediation protocols and or quality control assistance for
both large or small environmental projects.
