The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers professional residential structural steel inspection services for the Denver, Colorado market. Our team of American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) conducts comprehensive evaluations of structural steel and miscellaneous metalwork at critical stages of residential construction. These inspections occur in the early stages of planning, allowing us to inspect the home’s structural steel and miscellaneous metals to ensure they comply with project drawings, contract specifications, and relevant codes before these components become inaccessible later in the construction process.
About Our Residential Structural Steel Inspection Services
Our Denver practice delivers comprehensive inspection services for single‑family homes, multifamily developments, and custom residential projects throughout the Denver metro area, Front Range and Western Slope. Certified Welding Inspectors conduct visual examinations, weld verification, and review welding procedures and welder qualifications.We emphasize early involvement because early review enables us to identify and help resolve errors before issues are buried in subsequent steps of the home’s construction. Our services ensure compliance with industry codes and project specificationsand prevent costly rework later in the construction schedule.

Risk Mitigation and Value for Residential Projects
Engaging ATS FoC early in the Denver project lifecycle reduces the risk of field failures, schedule delays, and costly corrective work. Inspections identify common deficiencies, including welding by unqualified personnel, or improper splice execution. For builders, developers, and homeowners in Colorado, documented inspection results facilitate permit compliance, enhance contractor accountability, and protect long-term asset value.
