Why is it important for the owner and contractor to understand the importance of the special inspector
Topic:The Relevance of \”Special Inspections\”
In the USA Construction project success is largely attained through the use of special inspectors. The special inspector provides oversight in areas of the construction process requiring special knowledge and experience.
The requirement to have a special inspector on-site is mandated by code for specifically name construction categories.
A jurisdiction may also mandate the use of special inspectors as may the project owner, contractor, or the design professional.
Why is it important for the owner and contractor to understand the importance of the special inspector?
Some examples of special inspector categories are the threshold building inspector, reinforced masonry, welding and connectors, pile, maritime and coastal, storage tank, steam line, and pressure vessels. Owners and contractors also hire overtime inspectors to provide service due to an accelerated construction schedule.
Please comment on the role and application of the special inspector to construction quality control and possible ramifications to the overall project schedule.
