Benefits of Membership
Among the benefits and services that NABIE offers its members are:
- We are a network of colleagues, professional engineers and architects with common purposes, and a willingness to share and support one another in building inspection engineering.
- One of the ways we do this is at our popular annual meeting, which also includes 11 technical seminars of 90 minutes each. [ more info ].
- The EXAMINER is our quarterly newsletter. [examples: June '07 | September '07 ]
- We are the "sponsoring organization" for a new certification program that will launch in 2008. [ more info ]
- Informally, we call it "the NSPE Connection". NABIE is a chartered member of the National Society of Professional Engineers. We are one of two engineering organizations that rely on NSPE for legal and support services.
- NABIE published the "Standards of Practice", standards that are the highest in the industry. [ more info ]
- Our website is highly visible to the public. It explains why an engineer should be consulted over others who do inspections.
- We take positions and advocate for building inspection engineers in state legislatures, engineering boards and home inspector licensure boards.
- NABIE is often consulted by journalists, writers and publicists who focus on information dissemination about building inspection: (See Consumer Reports, January, 2004).
