Check readiness before requesting the visit
- Correct permit, address, inspection type, and project contact.
- Work completed to the stage being inspected.
- Approved drawings and relevant supporting documents available.
- Safe access to the work and access permissions arranged.
- Required testing, trade coordination, or prior approvals confirmed.
Have the right person available
Identify who can locate the work, explain the current phase, provide records, and receive comments. For occupied sites, coordinate entry with the property team and tell affected occupants about the access arrangement.
Record the result and next action
Keep the inspection result in the project record. Assign each correction to a responsible party, confirm whether reinspection is required, and check the status before covering or proceeding with work that depends on approval.
