Welcome to the ACIA!

Our Association was incorporated in 1959 to promote educational opportunities, share information about construction and inspection, and to promote standards of knowledge and conduct for all construction inspectors regardless of their area of expertise or employment. To promote these goals, the Association has established various committees and programs.

The ACIA's Board of Registered Construction Inspectors was created as a semiautonomous entity of the Association in 1984 to establish a program to set minimum standards for general engineering inspectors, general building inspectors, public works inspectors, and for different categories of specialty inspectors. The RCI Board receives and processes applications for registration, conducts examinations and registers construction inspectors who successfully meet all the requirements provided for in the Rules and Regulations of the RCI Board. Registrations may be renewed by payment of a $75.00 renewal fee and verification of the registrants having completed a minimum of thirty-six units of continuing education.

The ACIA's Education Committee develops and conducts educational seminars throughout the year on a wide variety of topics of interest. Recent seminars produced ranged from Concrete, Reinforcing Steel, Seismic Bracing, Plumbing, Grading and Paving, Wood Framing; to Toxic Waste and Fire Protection along with others. This committee provides continuing education programs to help our Registered Construction Inspectors meet the RCI Board's requirements for renewal of their registrations.
