Local governments use technology to improve overall efficiency and improve economic development efforts. Technology advances can also be used in remote building inspections. Construction in urban areas can create undue backlogs for contractors and property owners, which also creates strain and stress on local government officials who need more inspectors in a declining career field. This webinar is a great opportunity for building department officials and local government officials to explore the potential of introducing remote building inspections in your jurisdiction, focusing on both the benefits and the considerations.

Learning Objectives:

• What is a remote building inspection and how does it work?
• Alternatives to undue backlogs of inspections requests
• Supplementing staffing shortages
• Mitigating a resistance to change
