Standard practice is to inspect all major construction milestones from foundation through completion; however, individual milestone groups or inspection sections may also be selected where limited review of specific construction stages or components is requested.
Construction progress inspections are private consulting inspections intended to review selected construction milestones or inspection sections. Components, systems, or construction stages not specifically selected are excluded from scope and will not be evaluated, reported on, or assessed.
Inspections should occur before related work is concealed or construction progresses beyond applicable stage, as later inspections may limit observations of concealed components.
These inspections do not replace municipal, provincial, engineering, architectural, or other authority inspections, approvals, or certifications required by permit, regulation, contract, or financing conditions, and no responsibility is assumed for deficiencies or issues outside requested inspection scope.
