At F&R, we don’t tend toward self-aggrandizement, but in this case, we believe we must… Alan Tuck is THE foremost expert on IBC concerning Special Inspections in the Mid-Atlantic. You understand this if you ever attended one of his presentations and benefited from Alan’s enthusiastic discourse on topics of code.

Alan practically wrote the code. Over 20 years ago, Alan published a 47-page Construction Specifications Institute monograph entitled “BOCA Special Inspection Services.” This document became the foundation of Chesterfield County’s original special inspection program and, subsequently, the programs developed by other Virginia jurisdictions during the early days of BOCA and IBC. With over five decades of hands-on field experience, Alan brings real-world knowledge when discussing the code.

In 2015, Alan was elected Director of the Blue Ridge Chapter of the CSI, and he has served in various roles over the years in the Virginia Ready Mixed Concrete Association, the Virginia Concrete Masonry Association, and too many other construction trade groups to include here. Throughout his accomplished career, he has assisted A/E professionals of all ages and stripes in understanding how the code relates to their daily activities. He currently writes F&R’s widely received and much anticipated “Speaking in Code” newsletter. F&R is proud of our library of Special Inspections literature and presentations; however, it is even more gratifying that they are brought to clients and competitors alike by the incomparable Mr. Alan Tuck.
