NexCore Group, a national healthcare real estate developer , announced today that Kyle Robbins, the firm’s Senior Vice President Design & Construction, has successfully completed his Class A Certified Inspector recertification with the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD).
The recertification authorizes Mr. Robbins to act as Hospital Inspector in all phases of construction including architectural, mechanical, electrical, fire and life safety, and structural elements.
This marks the fifth recertification for Mr. Robbins, who received his original certification in 2004. Candidates must take a full-day seminar reviewing the updated California Building Codes (CBCs) and then pass a 50-question exam.
NexCore Group President and Managing Partner Jarrod Daddis says Mr. Robbins’ continuous accomplishment is a great advantage for NexCore.

Healthcare systems outside of California also recognize the qualifications of OSHPD Class A inspector certification.

His broad scope of project experience includes healthcare, high-tech, critical facilities, laboratory, hangar and flood control projects. His renovation and construction projects for healthcare clients such as Kaiser Permanente, Adventist Health and John Muir Health include surgery, radiology, emergency, trauma, patient rooms, pediatrics, wound care, cancer treatment, acute care, pharmacy, dietary and dialysis facilities ranging in value from $100,000 to $260 million. Mr. Robbins has provided exemplary senior leadership for his project teams, and his executive management has ensured projects are completed within budget and on schedule.
