Frequently Asked Questions
An inspection request (IR) is a formal notification submitted by the contractor to the owner, architect, or authority having jurisdiction requesting that specific work be inspected before it is concealed or the next phase begins. It ensures quality verification happens at the right time in the construction sequence.
Advance notice requirements vary by contract and inspection type — typically 24-48 hours for quality inspections and 48-72 hours for municipal/code inspections. The template tracks required lead time per inspection type and flags requests that don't meet the minimum notice.
Failed inspection items are documented with specific deficiencies, corrective actions required, and a re-inspection request is generated. The template links the original inspection to all subsequent re-inspections until the work passes.
