Construction and Building Inspectors

Significant Points

• About 45 percent of inspectors worked for local governments, primarily municipal or county building departments.
• Many home inspectors are self-employed.
• Opportunities should be best for experienced construction supervisors and craftworkers who have some college education, engineering or architectural training, or certification as construction inspectors or plan examiners.
• Home inspection has become a standard practice in the home-purchasing process, creating more opportunities for home inspectors.
