Our story
Caliber was founded to bring the rigor of industrial engineering to property inspection: documented methods, consistent reporting and findings that hold up to scrutiny.

Academic & Technical Foundation: Backed by college degrees in Engineering and Safety, along with over 24 years of engineering, operations, industrial equipment, and high-pressure boiler inspection experience—including systems operating at some of the highest pressures in the world—we view systems with a level of technical precision standard checklists can't match. Combined with Principal Inspector Robert Pawlak's Illinois state licensure (#450.013522 | Entity #451.001527), ICA certification, and InterNACHI membership, this background provides a level of vetted technical expertise that eclipses standard competition.
Why It Matters for Your Inspection: Unlike cursory walk-throughs performed by generalist inspectors, every Caliber Property Inspection applies formal engineering mechanics, industrial safety principles, and non-invasive thermal/mechanical diagnostics to evaluate accessible structural framing, electrical distribution, HVAC/boiler systems, and observable life-safety hazards across both commercial facilities and residential properties.
