ATLANTA, Aug. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bureau Veritas North America, Inc., an industry leader in providing comprehensive building department support services, announced today that Tim Inglis has joined the company as business development manager serving the code compliance division located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Inglis brings more than 15 years of significant experience developing and managing municipal building inspection departments with operating procedures, recruiting and hiring technical talent, conducting training, and setting and achieving performance goals. He has also received numerous accolades from clients for his approach and success in helping municipalities achieve excellence in customer service and has a passion for helping them and their respective community residents develop environmentally friendly ordinances, improve property values and prepare for future growth.

Though Bureau Veritas has been a part of Georgia's business community providing testing, inspection, health and safety, and environmental services, this is the company's first major expansion into the state's construction verification market. Inglis' knowledge of local building practices and codes, combined with the experience that Bureau Veritas has collected as the nation's largest construction code compliance firm, provides an exceptional option for municipalities seeking building inspection assistance. Furthermore, as more global businesses move into the Southeast, Bureau Veritas' construction experience garnered from around the world will be vital to facilitating communications between municipal building departments and the international corporations investing in the region.

"The rapid growth of the construction industry in the Southeast U.S. made Georgia a priority location for expansion of our construction verification services. Tim not only brings a strong understanding of the local construction industry, but also an awareness of the impact that construction delays or unsafe building practices have on the overall local economy," said Isam Hasenin, Chief Operating Officer of Bureau Veritas' Facilities Division. "His experience working with a multitude of stakeholders is essential to helping municipalities meet the challenge of serving commercial and residential code compliance needs and provide exceptional building safety."
