No, it's not necessarily the same.
A certified building inspector is typically a professional who is certified by a governmental or recognized regulatory body to inspect buildings for compliance with local building codes, safety standards, and regulations. They ensure that the construction meets legal requirements for occupancy and safety.
In contrast, an in-process building inspector for a bank loan might be a representative from the bank, a third-party hired by the bank, or even a certified building inspector, but their primary role is to verify that the construction is progressing according to the loan agreement, project milestones, and plans. Their focus is on ensuring the project is on track for loan disbursement rather than strictly on code compliance, although code compliance is often part of the inspection.
