Vertical Access LLC is a qualified small business that performs specialized inspection services on
buildings, monuments, sculptures and civil structures. We are contracted by architects and engineers
nationwide for our expertise in construction technologies, materials science, structural engineering,
historic preservation, and architectural conservation.
We use direct-to-digital software, TPAS (Tablet PC Annotation System) for inspections. This system
was developed specifically for the building industry and allows our technicians to input graphical and
numerical conditions data and photos directly into AutoCAD drawings.
Deliverables include:
Assessment report with images and narratives Annotated AutoCAD drawings (print and digital) Spreadsheets of extracted data with quantities
