Since 1989, the National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers has worked to establish the highest standards for the building and home inspection industry and to verify the qualifications of individuals offering these services.

As an organization, NABIE strives to protect the integrity of the home and building inspection industry, and thus, the general public. We review legislation, examine court cases, and monitor relevant government activities in all states. We interface with affiliated real estate associations and commissions, state engineering boards and other standard setting organizations.

We accept as members only state-licensed professional engineers and registered architects specializing in the practice of building inspection engineering. Apart from the requirement that our members also be members of the National Society of Professional Engineers or the American Institute of Architects, many of our members are active in other technical organizations including the American Society of Civil Engineers and PEPP (Professional Engineers in Private Practice division of NSPE).

We serve the buyers and sellers of real estate, condominium associations, investors, brokers, attorneys, and others.
