Message from the President
Baker Street Home Inspection Services has been providing accurate and insightful information to our valued clients since 1985. Over the last twenty years we have reviewed over 30,000 homes and buildings to the satisfaction of our clients.

Whether you are buying an older house, buying new from a builder or request us to solve a problem with the house you own, our inspection and consulting services are focused on your individual requirements. For that reason, no two inspections or consultations are ever alike. That is why we encourage you to attend the inspection so that you may effectively communicate your ideas to us.

Once our initial service is complete we remain available to you for additional telephone advice indefinitely. Think of Baker Street as your home care consultant for as long as you own your home.

We look forward to working with you. You will find our staff very knowledgeable and always willing to serve.

Sincerely,

Jeff Clarke, CET, RHI
President
Baker Street Home Inspection Services Inc.

Proudly serving the GTA since 1985.

Services We Provide

NEW HOME BUILDING - PROJECT PLANNING - CONSULTING MANAGEMENT SERVICES -

Planning is the most important part of any project. Building your dream home is no exception. At Baker Street we assume the role of the owner's broker. We can provide whatever assistance you require. Our involvement at the outset will ensure that the project gets off on the right track.

The program can begin with a preliminary review of the proposed plans and contract. A report could then be produced which documents:

• accurate budget figures on what construction costs will be as well as what other associated costs will be incurred.
  
• what decisions the owner must actively be involved with when undertaking the proposed work.
  
• what type of contractor is best suited to perform the work and how to find competent builders.
  
• permit and plan requirements
  
• cost effective building alternatives and comparative cost analysis (i.e.) value engineering

Additional meetings can be scheduled prior to construction.

• final review of the architectural plans and building specifications (remember that the specifications form the main body of the contract)
  
• a review of the terms pertaining to the construction contract
  
• a review of competitive bids

Once construction starts we are often asked to perform progress inspections as the project reaches the end of each phase. We can approve each payment phase if you desire.

The most important inspection to be performed is the final inspection. When the project is substantially complete a review of all work is done. The final report will document any outstanding work to be addressed prior to the release of your final payment.
