Our Story

InQuest was founded by Albert Salvador and Phuong Devries, two seasoned building officials who spent years serving the City of Cupertino. From inside city government, they experienced firsthand the outdated, fragmented systems that slowed down inspections and permits, frustrating both residents and staff.

Motivated to find a better way, they teamed up with engineers to reimagine the inspection process from the ground up — combining real-world insights with powerful, modern technology. Their vision: a streamlined platform that brings clarity, speed, and transparency to every stage of an inspection request.

Today, InQuest powers inspection management through three specialized applications: the Inspection Request App for residents and contractors, the Inspector Mobile App for certified professionals in the field, and the Admin Dashboard for cities to oversee operations, track progress, and deliver better service.

What started as a question inside a building department has grown into a platform purpose-built to modernize how cities serve their communities — one inspection at a time.
