The instant invention is a network system and a method for managing building inspections. The network system for managing building inspections, according to instant invention, includes a central site, a user site, a data manager site, and an administrator site. The central site includes a first database, a second database, and the means for communicating electronically with a remote computer. The first database receives information related to building inspection requirements from at least one data manager, and it includes means for controlling the unidirectional transmission of the building inspection requirements into the first database. The second database is operatively connected to the first database, and it controls the access of the data managers to the first database. The user site includes at least one user access point, which provides access to users to only view, read, print, search or save the information stored in the first database. The data manager site includes at least one data manager access point, which provides access to data managers to only view, read, print, search, or save the information stored in the first database and to add new information in the first database. The administrator site includes at least one administrator access point, which provides access to view, read, print, search, save, or modify the information stored in second database or to add new information into second database. Furthermore, the method for managing building inspections, according to instant invention, includes providing a network system for managing building inspections, as described above, and managing building inspections via said network system.
