About Us.
The Kansas Association of Residential & Commercial Inspectors (KARCI) is a non-profit, voluntary organization of professional building inspectors. KARCI was established informally in 2004 to help provide ongoing education and training to inspectors and influence un-needed restrictions or regulations promoted by 3rd party special interest groups.
Education, Training and Support
KARCI provides an unbiased voice to the public, legislators and the real estate community..
KARCI provides education, training and support services to its members and the real estate community. KARCI inspectors typically follow the Code of Ethics (CoE) and Standards of Practice (SoP) of either InterNACHI, ASHI, NAHI, IRC or ASTM, which have been the most well known national inspection SoP, and have been considered the standard of care by the legal profession, the real estate industry and others in the state.
Senior KARCI Inspector Members have successfully passed the comprehensive written Inspection Exams of either InterNACHI, ASHI, NAHI the NHIE or ICC. These exams cover the wide spectrum of systems and components in the construction and maintenance of Residential or Commercial Buildings.
Our goal.
KARCI’s educational goal is to expand the technical knowledge of its members through networking with other professional inspectors and continuing education. Professional KARCI Inspectors typically complete a minimum 16 hours of continuing education or more annually if membership in their national association requires this. Educational credits can be obtained through quarterly KARCI educational meetings, chapter meetings of InterNACHI, ASHI, college seminars, code classes, National or Regional Association seminars and other approved sources. KARCI membership programs encourage sharing experience and knowledge resulting in betterment of the home inspection profession and the consumer public, which it serves.
