NEWMAN – Precision Inspection was named the 2009 Industry Achievement Award recipient by California Building Officials (CALBO) during its annual conference last month.

“It’s an honor to be recognized among such great companies in the industry,” CEO/CFO Crickett Brinkman reflected recently. “With all the good talent out there, to stand out and be recognized is a great honor. This is huge for us!”

Precision Inspection Company was established in 1989 as a building inspection and plan check company. Over the years, they expanded the scope of their services by adding Public Works and Code Enforcement departments. “This is a great way to start off our 20th anniversary year!” Brinkman noted.

The main office for Precision Inspection is located in downtown Newman. The local company runs building departments in many different areas in Northern California including the cities of Newman and Gustine.

“Becoming part of the community, contributing and supporting the community, is our specialty,” Brinkman noted. “To know our customers have the faith in us to run their building departments is important to us.”

CALBO is a non-profit corporation dedicated to providing public health and safety in building construction through responsible legislation, education and building code development.

The prestigious Industry Achievement Award is presented each year to one company which stands out among the vast industry statewide for their exceptional work and what they bring to the communities they serve.

“We were genuinely shocked when they called our name at the awards luncheon,” Brinkman reflected.

She and staff members have attended the annual business conference for many years, an opportunity to educate themselves and market the business. They had no idea they were receiving the award this year.

The occasion was familiar to them. They were accustomed to hearing recipients of the awards being described as outstanding businesses in trade, educators in the fields, available for the needs of the communities they service...and then, Brinkman described, they announced that Precision Inspection was this year’s recipient. “Oh my gosh, did they just say Precision Inspection?” they all realized as it sunk in that they were this year’s honorees, and they soon found themselves standing in front of about 100 people accepting the award, giving a speech and taking photos.

Brinkman said the moment went by in a blur, from the time they realized their name had been called to a lot of people congratulating them for the huge accomplishment. “They called us a class act,” she proudly noted.

They were genuinely honored to receive the award on behalf of the entire company. “All of our employees make up the award; we are a team of professionals who pride ourselves on customer service,” Brinkman stated.
