Join The Providence Group VP of Marketing, Social Media and Digital Sales Kelly Fink as she explores just one of the ways the home builder remains a cut above others building new quality homes with third-party inspections from Burgess Construction Consultants. In the latest video blog (vlog), Kelly is joined by The Providence Group VP of Construction Bernie Knoll and Burgess Construction Consultants Chief Service Officer Roger Casey to break down the homebuilding and inspection process.
Burgess Construction Consultants conducts pre-drywall, final and energy inspections that go well beyond the standard, on each home from The Providence Group to keep warranty claims low and buyers’ expectations high!
