Chapter Description

MAC-ASHI, one of the founding chapters of ASHI, has been serving inspectors in the Mid-Atlantic region since 1987. MAC ASHI members come from a wide variety of engineering, construction, business and environmental disciplines. Each has shown a high level of proficiency in the broad spectrum of knowledge necessary to become a member of ASHI. Each member must pass a professionally monitored national test exhibiting the ability to recognize, interpret and explain a wide variety of building, electrical, plumbing and construction concerns and failures. Through chapters across the United States and Canada, ASHI members meet regularly to exchange information and to receive continued education on every aspect of modem construction practices. This organizational requirement for, and source of, continued education to the Home Inspection profession helps its members to maintain a high level of continuing education, making it unique within the Home Inspection profession.
