Benefits for Building Departments
The IAS SIA Program provides these benefits for building departments:
Ensures Code Compliance – IAS provides a stringent process to determine if SIAs comply with Chapter 17 of the International Building Code®.
Saves Time – IAS takes the burden off the building department to make sure that SIA’s are regularly assessed for quality and competence.
Standardizes Assessments – All SIAs are evaluated using the same criteria and assessment process, creating a level playing field for everyone.
Limits Liability – Requiring SIAs to be accredited by IAS provides evidence of due diligence to ensure the competence of such agencies.
Easy to Use – Building departments can access a list of IAS accredited SIAs on the IAS web site.
Saves Money – There is no cost for building departments that participate in the IAS SIA Approval Program.
