After retiring as a firefighter I
now inspection buildings full time. I was with the the Mount Royal
Fire Department for 28 years and the Montréal Fire Department for 4 years. One of my
duties as a firefighter was fire prevention
inspections after having graduated from the Fire Science Program at
Vanier College and being certified as a Fire Prevention Technician by the Quebec Minister Of Municipal Affaires.
Since 1998 I have been involved in
the home inspection field doing pre-purchase
inspections under the name Professional Building Inspections.
I maintain
memberships in the Quebec
Association Of Building Inspectors, Canadian Association of Home and
Property Inspectors
and the Quebec Association Of Fire Prevention Technicians. I am
certified by the AIBQ and hold a Canadian
National Certification,
Certificate Number
ANC00084.
Every year I continue to
update my skills, knowledge of building
science and the inspection industry to serve my clients better as well
as meeting
the AIBQ's and Canadian National Certification requirements for continuing
education.
I have had a lifetime
interest in building technology and construction. For 12 years I
was licensed as a contractor by the Regie des entreprises de
construction du Quebec, working under the name of Aluminium
Samson, installing doors, windows and siding. I have built two
homes with my own hands and continue to enjoy home renovation.
