General Contractors Inspection Service

GCIS is a building inspection firm specializing in building condition, construction and preservation. Alec Lambie founded GCIS in 1977, after fifteen years' involvement in general construction. Our clients include homeowners, prospective homebuyers, individuals involved in investment property, non-profit agencies, condominium associations, attorneys and public agencies. GCIS assists clients in understanding their building requirements.

Purchasing property is a large investment. It requires information and planning. GCIS develops detailed, understandable reports that clients are able to use to their benefit. The added insight that we provide is an invaluable asset to your valuable investment.

Our goal is to provide the most thorough and accurate building inspections possible. GCIS frequently involves other professional information groups in order to meet this goal. These include architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, environmental contractors and specialty testing experts. It is not unusual on larger projects to involve several of the aforementioned licensed individuals or firms in compiling the necessary information for our clients.

Residential and commercial pre-sale inspections constitute only a portion of our services. In addition, we offer condominium association reserve studies, cost engineering, site-specific test reports, Americans with Disabilities Act building compliance and expert witness support.
