Purpose of Special Inspection Special Inspection is the monitoring of the materials and workmanship that are critical to the integrity of the building structure. It is a review of the work that the contractors and their employees to assure that the approved plans and specifications are being followed and that relevant codes and ordinances are being observed. The special inspection process is in addition to those inspections conducted by the municipal building inspector and by the engineer or architect of record as part of periodic structural observation. The special inspectors furnish continuous or periodic inspection as prescribed in IBC Table 1704.3 for that construction which requires their presence. [IBC Section 109.3.9 and 1704] Good communication between the special inspector and the designers,contractor,and building department is essential to project quality assurance. B. Duties and Responsibilities of the Special Inspector Though not required by code,special inspectors and\or inspection agencies can document acceptance of their responsibilities and scope of work for a project by signing an agreement that includes a detailed schedule of services,commonly known as the Special-Inspection and Testing Agreement and the Special-Inspection and Testing Schedule. Duties of special inspectors and\or inspection agencies include the following 1. Signify presence at job site. Special inspectors should notify contractor personnel of their presence and responsibilities at the job site. If required by the building official,they shall sign in on the appropriate form posted with the building permit. 2. Observe assigned work. [IBC Section 1704] Special inspectors shall inspect all work for which they are responsible for conformance with the building department approved (stamped)plans and specifications and applicable provisions of the IBC. 3. Report nonconforming items. Special inspectors shall bring all nonconforming items to the immediate attention of the contractor. If any such item is not resolved in a timely manner or is about to be incorporated into the work,the engineer or architect of record and the building official should be notified immediately and then the item noted in the inspector's written report.

The design professional in responsible charge shall list the items for which special inspection is required;and shall indicate any items for which the IBC or the building official approves periodic inspection and the frequency of such inspection. [IBC Section 106.3.4] The design professional in responsible charge should coordinate with the project owner in the selection of special inspectors[IBC Section 1704.1] and is required to list special inspectors and their duties on the special inspection program[IBC Section 106.3.4.1]. The standard of the industry for employing a qualified inspection agency is its compliance with the requirements of ASTM E-329. The choice of special inspector should include the following considerations: a. Project size and complexity: experience with similar projects b. Inspection staffing: sufficient qualified inspectors c. Site location:proximity of inspection and testing facilities d. Off-site inspection: capabilities for inspecting at remote locations 2. Respond to field discrepancies. The engineer or architect of record shall respond to special inspector reports of uncorrected noncomplying items and shall approve remedial measures. 3. Review shop drawings and submit revisions to approved plans. The design professional in responsible charge shall acknowledge and review for conformance with the construction documents those shop drawings that may detail structural information, shall submit to the building official and to the special inspection agency written documentation of any verbally approved deviations from the approved construction documents,and shall submit revised documents for the building official approval as needed. [IBC Section 106.3.4.2] E. Duties and Responsibilities of the Contractor The contractor's duties include the following: 1. Notify the special inspector. The holder of the building permit or their duly authorized agent is responsible for notifying the special inspector or agency regarding individual inspections as required by the building department. [IBC Section 109.5] Adequate notice shall be provided so that the special inspector has time to become familiar with the project. 2. Provide access to approved plans. The contractor is responsible for providing the special inspector access to approved plans. [IBC Section 106.3.1] 3. Retain special inspection records. When required by the building official,the contractor is responsible for retaining,at the job site,all special inspection records submitted by the special inspector,and providing them for review to the building department's inspector upon request. F. Duties and responsibilities of the Building Official Of all the team members involved in the construction process,the building official is the only one with the legal authority to enforce the special inspection provisions of the code. [IBC Section 104.4] The employment of a special inspector or agency shall not relieve the building department of responsibility for progress or called inspections as required by the code. Building department inspections of items also requiring special inspection should not be signed off without the concurrence of the special inspector. RECEIVED 7 10/09/18 ASPEN BUILDING DEPARTMENT The specific duties and responsibilities of the building official relating to special inspection include the following: 1. Review submittal documents for compliance with special inspection requirements. The building official is charged with the legal authority to review the plans,specifications,special inspection program,and other submittal documents for compliance with code requirements. [IBC Section 104.2, 106.3, 106.5 through 106.5] 2. Approve special inspection program. The building official is responsible for approving the special inspection program submitted by the design professional in responsible charge [IBC Section 1704.1] and may require a preconstruction conference to review the program with all appropriate members of the construction team. 3. Approve special inspectors\inspection agencies. The building official is responsible for determining the competence of special inspectors for the types of work they will be inspecting. [IBC Section 1704] 4. Monitor special inspection activities. The building official should monitor the special inspection activities at the job site to assure that qualified special inspectors are performing their duties when work requiring special inspection is in progress. 5. Review inspection reports. The building official receives and reviews special inspection progress reports and final reports for conformance with the approved plans,specifications,and workmanship provisions of the code. [IBC Section 1704.1.2] 6. Perform special inspection. The building official should not perform the final inspection and approval of a project[IBC Section 109.3.10]until the final special inspection report has been reviewed and approved. The use of special inspectors is not discretionary. IBC Section 1704 clearly states the conditions under which they must be utilized,but there is a provision for the building official to waive the special inspection for work of a minor nature. It is the responsibility of the building official to determine the competency of special inspectors. The IBC does not make specific requirements for the determination of an inspector's qualifications,but that in no way lessens the importance of being selective in this crucial process. A qualified special inspector usually has skills that are significantly more specialized than those of regular municipal inspectors. A municipal inspector is required to have a general knowledge of a great number of code requirements,whereas special inspectors focus on limited areas of structural inspection and materials testing. G. Duties and Responsibilities of the approved fabricator Special inspections required by this code are not required where work is done on the premises of a fabricator registered and approved to perform such work without special inspection. Approved shall be based upon review of the fabricator's written procedural and quality control manuals and periodic auditing of fabrication practices by an approved special inspection agency. At completion of fabrication,the approved fabricator shall submit a certificate of compliance to the building official stating that the work was performed in accordance with the approved construction documents.
