Film Location Pre/Post Condition Inspections for LA Productions.
Protect your production from damage claims and delays with documented, neutral third-party reports.
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Every production company knows the scenario: filming wraps at a private location, and three weeks later the property owner claims $50,000 in damage — scratched floors, broken fixtures, damaged landscaping. Without documented pre-existing conditions, you’re left negotiating from a position of weakness.
Our pre-filming and post-filming condition inspections provide the neutral, third-party documentation you need to protect your production from unfounded damage claims — and resolve legitimate ones quickly.
With California’s new SB-132 safety requirements now in effect for tax credit productions, having professional documentation of location conditions is more important than ever.

SB-132 COMPLIANCE SUPPORT
California’s Senate Bill 132 (effective July 1, 2025) establishes the Safety on Productions Pilot Program for motion picture productions receiving state tax credits. While the law focuses primarily on firearms safety and risk assessment, it increases the overall regulatory scrutiny on production safety practices.
Our location inspection services support your production’s compliance efforts by:
Identifying potential hazards at filming locations before production begins
Documenting location conditions for risk assessment purposes
Providing independent verification of safety conditions
Creating documentation trail for insurance and regulatory purposes
