What Certified Reinforced Concrete Special Inspectors Do

Reinforced concrete special inspectors are responsible for enforcing the approved plans and specifications for the concrete structural elements of buildings. A reinforced concrete special inspector reviews the statement of special inspections along with the approved plans and specifications to verify that concrete construction is installed as shown and specified. They look at formwork, concrete quality, reinforcement, and placement. They also collect samples of materials and perform required tests. Additionally, a reinforced concrete special inspector writes and submits reports (including reporting items that do not comply with the plans) to the building official, contractor, and/or registered design professional.

Reinforced concrete inspector is one of the highest paid inspector positions and people with this ICC certification are highly sought after by private inspection companies and labs.

What Special Inspectors Do

No matter their specialty, special inspectors review the approved plans for compliance against the requirements of the enforcing jurisdiction since building officials approve all special inspectors to work in their jurisdictions. The special inspector knows the plan details. If the work being done deviates from the plan, the special inspector notifies the contractor. If the contractor does not correct the deviation, the special inspector notifies the architect or engineer of record and the building official. Special inspectors also submit progress reports describing tests performed and compliance of the work with the plans.
