Services Sovereign Nations
Full-time support services
For more than 20 years, we have partnered with Sovereign Nations and Indigenous communities to provide custom-tailored, full-time plan review and inspection support services.
We are committed to helping Tribal and Sovereign Nations build safe, sustainable infrastructure while respecting tribal sovereignty, and we prioritize cultivating relationships built on mutual trust and respect.
Committed to Sovereign Nation partnerships
Our team of certified inspectors and plan review experts understands the unique building requirements on sovereign lands and our third-party building department services. That’s why we work closely with leadership, community stakeholders, and project teams to deliver efficient, high-quality inspection and plan review services for your most important, ambitious, or pressing projects.
