This event allows you as an inspector, new to the business or a seasoned veteran, to see how other inspectors process their information and approach their work. Also, learn how we can miss things or have differing opinions on the same subject matter. Seasoned Inspectors – accept the challenge in attaining “Master Inspector” or “Inspector by Peer Review” designations to your list of credentials.

The most recent Tri State ASHI PEER REVIEW was held on November 4th 2016.  As in years past, this proved to be a great day of interactive, entertaining and mind blowing education!  The Ultimate Inspection Experience!

Two ways to participate in a Tri-State ASHi Peer Review Session:
1. As a Group Inspection Member developing the “Must Find List”
2. As a Candidate going through the Peer Review Process
