My Levelset Rep said Inspections can be tricky, since it is typically not considered a "permanent improvement" to the property. However, since this is a bit of a unique scenario and it is a little more legal, this would be a great question for our Legal Expert Center, where you can post a question and get answers from construction legal and credit experts! You can ask here: https://www.levelset.com/payment-help/ask-question/ So, this is why I am emailing you. Thank you.
I think the folks here might need a little more information. Are you a licensed contractor asking whether you can include inspection services that might be included within your contract in your preliminary notice? Or are you speaking of home inspection services? Or something else?

We are a licensed contractor who supplies inspection services to our customers.
I was not sure if this was something we could prelim for.
What type of inspection services? Home inspection type services or inspection/construction management type of inspection services during the course of construction?
We are a Fire, Life & Safety company and we provide fire sprinkler Inspections
If your inspection services are provided in connection with the construction, installation and/or repair of such systems (i.e., as part of a work of improvement), then you may indeed have lien rights. If, however, you are simply inspecting an existing system with no work of improvement connected to the inspection, you do not likely have lien rights.
