The Built-Smart ProgramSM , a division of Bergeron Technical Services, is a code-based plan review and building inspection program for new construction and alterations to 1- and 2- Family Dwellings and Townhouses constructed in New Hampshire and Maine. The Built-Smart ProgramSM is designed to help building contractors improve the quality of their structures and to offer a better building to homeowners. A building that receives the Built-Smart CertificationSM is assured to be a code compliant, quality building that will provide peace of mind for the building contractor and homeowner alike.

Depending on the extent of the work and on whether we are hired by the homeowner or the builder, the following services may be included in the program:
