What Strategic Building Services does

Strategic Building Services is a California-based, privately held construction inspection firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Burbank. The company specializes in OSHPD (Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development) healthcare construction inspection, with a particular focus on serving as the certified Inspector of Record on general acute care, psychiatric care, licensed clinic, skilled nursing, and intermediate care facility projects. Per California Code of Regulations Title 24, the IOR is engaged directly by the hospital governing board or authority, making SBS's role a statutorily defined function on healthcare construction in the state.

The company's core service is OSHPD Inspector of Record, complemented by an extended portfolio that includes Medical Gas Inspection, DSA Inspection, University Inspection, CASp Access Compliance, Quality Assurance/Quality Control, Fire & Life Safety Code Consulting, Security Consulting, Design Review, Constructibility Consulting, Pre-construction/Design services, and Project/Construction Management. Underlying delivery rests on a team of 19+ Inspectors of Record plus document control, operations, and administrative staff averaging 12 years of construction experience, supported by a project-specific inspection outline methodology and a collaborative 9-phase OSHPD segmented plan review process.

Commercially, SBS is a sales-led, project-based professional services firm that generates revenue through inspection and consulting fees on individual construction projects, with project values ranging from $3,000 to $800 million. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by professional reputation, relationships with general contractors, architects, and healthcare facility owners, supplemented by a corporate website and newsletter. The company is founder/management-owned (Tyler Bashlor, Owner; Janet Grabowski, VP of Operations), with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding, and no M&A activity, and operates exclusively within the California OSHPD jurisdiction.
