Chris Leonard, a third-party building inspector with ICC NTA, joined Good Morning LKN live from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to explain the inspection and certification process behind Purple Heart Homes’ weeklong modular home build. He shares how construction must meet Virginia’s building requirements, why inspections are conducted at critical stages, and what must be checked before electrical, plumbing, and insulation work can be covered.

Chris also discusses the unique challenges of inspecting a home built outside a traditional manufacturing facility and the importance of ensuring it is safe and ready for Statesville veteran Jim Taylor, who will receive the completed home in Glasgow, Virginia.
