Hello JoAnne, Hello Steve, Recently Bob Caraher was on an inspection where he caught a very critical element of a project.The project is the very challenging JKC ice Rink at 201 63`d St.The important item that he caught,and furthermore maintained with the contractor,was the size of the anchor bolts that were to be used. This[foundation only] portion of the project is essentially the developers dropping another building into,and on top of,an existing building to create a wide open J clear span area for the inside hockey rink. The new steel structure lies upon the foundation and will in the end `support' the superstructure and the building.The approved plans indicated 1-'l2" anchor bolts to be used,whereas the contractor was going to use!" anchor bolts—a mere rection of what was proposed,and furthermore approved,The contractor argued that there was a 'revision'—there was not. Bob indicated "Not Approved"on the inspection record slip and moved on. Again,great job to Bob Caraher and TPI for locating this incredible deficiency and standing by it. I am glad to have TPI inspectors acting as our 'eyes&ears' on our Willowbrook job sites. I must also mention that over the past[nearly a year]the Full Time In-house assistance as well:With the hiring of a Full time Permit Tech.July 1St,we ended our need for your full time Permit Tech,Assistance. I must say thank you to all for a job well done in this position.

In addition, they have done all of our plumbing inspections since 2015. The service that TPI is able to provide is outstanding, especially for a company that has continued to grow as rapidly as theirs has due to the continued staff redactions of municipal building departments. The detail in their reviews is second to none in my experience, and the ability to get an inspector with little notice in the event we are short staffed is truly a testament to their desire to satisfy their clients and help make our jobs as code enforcement professionals easier. I would recommend TPI to any municipality in need of third party plan review and inspection services.

To the folks at TPI, I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for your outstanding service. Having John Davies work with the City of Naperville over the past couple of months has been an excellent experience.

Consultant Mr,Steve Tisinai 7N262 W.Whispering Trail st. Charles, Illinois 00175 Steve:. Well it been Seven years since the Del Webb project began,and now it's finally done. Back then everyone thought it was going to take less than three years to build out the community of 725 homes,but then the economy downturn hit. New housing sales were almost non-existent,mass Jay-offs took place and companies that were in business for many years closed up shop.Times were tough. When the project started,T.P.i provided the Village of Mundelein a per lot cost to do the inspections, This was based on that original 3-year schedule,and having someone from your company there virtually every day, all day. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.The construction slowed to a snail's pace and inspections were far a few between.Also during the course of the project, the Village updated their codes;the builder went through several different superintendents,the trades changed several times,the product line was added to and changed, and it's taken seven years to complete. During ail of this T.P.I.did exactly as they said they would,see the project to the end, They did, all without changing our original agreement. There were many"off-ramps" and bumps in the road that could have changed the things over the past seven years, but T.P.I.stayed the course and finished the project as they originally pledged. This is a true testament to the professionalism of your company. It has een y gcompanyg, ed personnel,who has great integrity and pride, who do what they say, and do it very 3well�wo!king with stzhle Village of!Mundelein. It has been a pleasure to work with you,your family and the rest of the T.P.I. organization. I hope TY.I.has a loaf; and prosperous road ahead.

We would not want to forget to also thank Joe and John,inspectors from TPI. They were courteous and so helpful and explaining the inspection process. None of your staff made us feel like we were a nuisance to them or feel unwelcomed. This process was long and stressful,and Tammy kept reassuring us that everthing would be fine and that it would all be worth it. She was right,everything came out beautiful and worthwhile.
