Construction Inspection

GM2 Associates, Inc. provides reliable, expert construction inspection for municipalities, state agencies, and private developers. The inspection staff has the strength of 14 NICET inspectors and is supported by dedicated office engineers who themselves are expert inspectors in their own right. GM2 takes inspection very seriously, recognizing that its staff and the firm have the awesome responsibility of acting as the agent for the Commissioner of Transportation for the CT DOT on many of its assignments. Likewise, on municipal projects GM2 is counted on to ensure that bridges and roads are built in accordance with contract plans and specifications. GM2 has developed a hard-earned reputation in inspection as both a sub-consultant and as a prime.
