Public Works Inspection Essentials

Inspection of public works projects during the construction phase is a key element to ensure that the new facility or installation complies with the approved plans and specifications. Therefore it is paramount that inspectors be well versed and fully understand the importance of their duties and the overall essentials of construction inspection. Projects whether large or small require similar basic tasks and parallel duties to be performed. However inspection of public works construction has additional requirements that are generally not required when constructing private and industrial projects. This in turn places a greater burden on inspectors involved in monitoring construction of governmental facilities.
