Building inspections are important for safety, cost-effectiveness, and maintaining a building's value. Building inspections ensure that structures meet minimum safety standards. They help identify potential hazards like structural weaknesses, fire safety issues, and electrical problems. Regular inspections can help identify minor issues before they become major and expensive problems.
