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.
