Bruce's depth of knowledge is bolstered by degreed engineering (a UM School of Mines honors graduate), complemented by business know-how, and backed by MBA education (Arizona State). So your BHIS home inspector will communicate clearly to you concerning your needs, at any depth.
As a former home-builder, Bruce understands property conditions beyond generic inspection standards.With background in home refurbishment, he has awareness of the detrimental effects that seemingly minor issues lead to. This knowledge of a home's condition yields a much more comprehensive and insightful inspection. You gain in awareness & you're better informed for any key negotiations and decisions just ahead.
Your BHIShome inspector has a spectrum of experience from sophisticated luxury homes, custom-built log homes, to well-worn & turn-of-the-century classics, and across the disparate environments common to Rapid City, Spearfish and the S. Dakota Black Hills area. You can trust that your home inspection will be relevant to your general inspection needs, with accuracy and thoroughness commensurate with our standards of practice.
State, National and International Affiliations:
Based just north of Rapid City, BHISis home inspector certified with leading professional affiliations that provide continuing education, sharpening of skills, and currency with trends & evolving building developments. We are certified by the American Society of Non-destructive Testing (ASNT), International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), Building Performance Institute, International Association of Certified Indoor Air Quality Consultants (IAC-2), and the National Society of Home Inspectors (NSHI).
State Trained, and State Registered:
Bruce has been trained & certified by S. Dakota’s preeminent in-state inspection center; the Professional Home Inspector Institute (PHII), located in Madison, SD. PHII training is less sales & marketing-oriented, less generic, & more Rapid City & Black Hills home inspection relevant; compared to franchise, on-line, or out-of-state training.
S. Dakota Home Inspector Registered:
S. Dakota has some of the toughest licensing criteria of any state for Home Inspection Services. In fact, home inspection licensing criteria is higher than for most building contractors in and around the Black Hills which often require no licensing. Hence, some home inspection firms are operating without state registration/licensing, others have personnel on-staff who operate under another's license. Neither is the case with our firm, so you can be assured of what kind of inspector you are hiring.
Choosing the right property inspector can be difficult. You may not meet me until after you hire me. If you permit me to inspect your property or new home, I will give you my very best effort.
