What is a Field Review Consultant (FRC)?
A Field Review Consultant (FRC) is a firm that is authorized by Tarion to provide quality reviews during the construction of higher risk condominium projects. The FRC is responsible for mitigating warranty claim risk for the builder and Tarion by being involved in the document review, site inspection, testing, and deficiency reporting related to key risk areas during the construction of the project.
