ERI/HERS rating, IECC/ICC codes ENERGY STAR, DOE, ENH, WaterSense, Indoor airPLUS, EFL, Green certifications, Indoor airPLUS, WaterSense, and EFL compliance to meet energy efficiency HVAC Grading compliance, utility program requirements, and environmental goals.

Forensic Building Science/ Comfort Inspection:

This is an inspection that covers a job that is already complete and has a potential comfort problem experiencing building science problems. We send a forensic expert or a team of forensic experts out to the asses the problem and complete an ARCXIS Forensic report informing the builder of the exact items that need to be corrected to fix the building.

Drone-Powered Roof Inspections:

The National Roofing Contractors Association notes that roof failures often trace back to installation errors, including water intrusion, wood rot, and other costly performance issues. Let ARCXIS conduct a drone-powered roof inspection as part of your construction quality inspections process.

As a safer, faster form of third-party construction inspections, drone roof inspections help builders improve construction quality, reduce construction risk, and document roof conditions with greater speed and accuracy.

Key benefits include:

· Enhanced safety — No need for ladders, scaffolding, or walking steep slopes, reducing exposure while supporting safer inspection services for home builders

· Faster turnaround — Cover large or complex roofs in minutes, not hours, helping support faster construction timelines and overall construction performance improvement

· Comprehensive data — High-resolution aerial imagery captures every angle, helping identify installation issues, improve construction quality, and reduce rework in construction

· Cost savings — Lower labor and equipment costs while increasing accuracy and helping builders lower construction costs

· Better documentation — Maintain a visual record over time to support builder warranty inspection, risk assessment for residential builds, and long-term quality control

ARCXIS drone inspections give builders a smarter way to verify roof installation, strengthen documentation, and support more consistent construction quality inspections across every community.

Drainage Plane Inspections:

Before brick, stucco, or siding goes up, inspecting the drainage plane is a critical part of construction quality inspections and often saves builders significant time and money in the long run.

Getting it right during construction is simple. Fixing it later is difficult, costly, and often requires deconstruction. That is why third-party construction inspections and building science inspection services are so valuable during this phase, as they help builders improve construction risk, and avoid costly failures behind the wall.

A quick inspection may:

· Find construction errors that could lead to mold, rot, insulation failure, and future construction defect analysis

· Support code compliance inspections and help verify building code compliance before exterior cladding is installed

· Save time and money by helping builders reduce rework in construction, lower construction costs, and avoid costly callbacks and builder warranty inspection claims

· Protect your reputation by improving construction quality and catching hidden issues before they become visible failures

ARCXIS helps builders identify drainage plane issues early, improve construction performance, and protect long-term wall system durability before exterior finishes go on.

Sewer Scope Inspections:

Before you sign off on a new home, a sewer scope inspection is a smart part of construction quality inspections that can help builders reduce construction risk and avoid costly post-close issues.

A quick camera inspection of the sewer line is one of the most effective third-party construction inspections for identifying hidden issues before turnover, helping builders improve construction quality, reduce rework in construction, and prevent expensive builder warranty inspection claims.

A sewer scope inspection can help prevent:

· Surprise clogs, cracks, or hidden line defects that can lead to future construction defect analysis

· Expensive warranty claims and avoidable repairs that increase costs after closing

· Delays in closing or turnover caused by missed underground issues

A quick sewer camera check helps verify the line is clear, connected, and built to last—supporting better inspection services for home builders, stronger construction performance improvement, and greater peace of mind for both your team and your homeowners.

Targeted QA Inspections:

Let ARCXIS be a second set of eyes for your warranty department. Our Targeted QA Inspections combine builder warranty inspection data, construction quality inspections, and third-party construction inspections to pinpoint recurring issues and help builders improve construction quality before those issues become costly repeat claims.

Using your own warranty trends and field data, ARCXIS helps identify root causes, reduce construction risk, and train your team on the correct building practices to reduce rework in construction, improve long-term performance, and lower construction costs.

We focus on the real challenges builders face, including:

· Water intrusion and building science inspection concerns that can lead to long-term damage

· Overall construction quality issues that affect homeowner satisfaction and repeat warranty claims

· Electrical and safety issues that increase risk and require immediate corrective action

· Frequent and high-cost issues that benefit from targeted construction defect analysis and field training

ARCXIS helps builders turn warranty data into actionable insights, strengthen construction performance improvement, and prevent recurring issues before they impact cost, quality, and customer experience.

Standard 310 Inspections:

Standard 310 provides a comprehensive framework for assessing and grading HVAC system installations through advanced energy inspection services, helping builders verify system quality, improve construction quality, and promote long-term energy efficiency.

As part of a broader energy efficiency services strategy, Standard 310 supports energy code inspections/testing, IECC compliance, and construction performance improvement by confirming that HVAC systems are installed and operating as designed. For builders and homeowners, this provides greater confidence in system performance, comfort, and long-term efficiency.

The standard outlines a five-task methodology used by energy inspectors to evaluate HVAC installation quality and support energy compliance services:

· Task 1: Verify the HVAC system design aligns with the home’s attributes, insulation levels, and envelope specifications, supporting accurate energy modeling and overall energy assessment

· Task 2: Confirm the duct system is properly sealed to prevent conditioned air leakage into unconditioned spaces, improving energy efficiency and helping ensure proper airflow delivery per Manual J

· Task 3: Ensure the correct amount of air is flowing across the coil to optimize sensible cooling, latent moisture removal, and total HVAC system performance

· Task 4: Evaluate blower fan energy consumption relative to airflow delivered to improve operational efficiency and lower construction costs through better system performance

· Task 5: Conduct a non-invasive refrigerant charge assessment to verify optimal operation, improve energy efficiency, and reduce construction risk associated with underperforming HVAC systems

Standard 310 helps builders strengthen HVAC quality assurance, support building science inspection efforts, and deliver better-performing homes through more consistent energy inspection services.
