As part of BPI accreditation, these firms will deliver quality assurance services that ensure adherence to BPI standards and accreditation requirements.

“BPI is proud to announce our partnership with these three organizations that have each been widely recognized for their outstanding delivery of quality assurance services in home performance,” said Larry Zarker, BPI CEO. “With the growth of BPI’s accredited contractor network across the nation comes our obligation to provide rigorous third-party quality assurance services the market demands. BPI staff can’t be everywhere at once. Thus we are confident that these three firms will provide the quality assurance in their respective regions the industry needs to maintain BPI’s standards.”

Each firm will conduct quality assurance home visits for a minimum of 5 percent of annual work volume of jobs completed by accredited contractors, as well as a quality management introduction office visit, and an annual quality assurance office visit. In addition, they will provide detailed recommendations to enhance contractors’ quality assurance infrastructure.
