Why Indianapolis property owners choose HECS for NGBS Green Certification

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Indiana trust HECS for third-party NGBS Green Certification because we deliver:

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current NGBS Green Certified Verifier (Home Innovation Research Labs) credentials. The person who takes the readings is the person who signs your report.
  • Fixed-fee proposals in 24 hours — not estimates, not time-and-materials. We quote travel cost up front, so the invoice matches the proposal.
  • Reports that pass program review — Home Innovation Research Labs NGBS, FHA / VA / USDA recognized, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — Indianapolis projects typically reference the 2014 Indiana Building Code with 2019 IECC for energy. IHCDA (Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority) requires NGBS Green certification for LIHTC-funded multifamily developments; ENERGY STAR is broadly adopted.
  • One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.
