Shear Wall Inspection
Shear wall inspection confirms that the lateral force-resisting system is built as designed, with attention to the details that matter most under seismic load.
Typical scope

- Nail size, spacing and edge distance
- Hold-downs, straps and anchor connections
- Blocking and framing members
When it's typically required
Wood-framed residential and commercial structures with engineered shear walls.
Inspection requirements are set by the approved plans, the statement of special inspections and the building official. Share your plan sheets when requesting so we can confirm scope.
