GENERAL PROGRAM GUIDELINES
A. 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. [IBC Section 1704.1] The special inspector shall write a
separate report to be posted at the job site regarding noted discrepancies that should
contain,as a minimum,the following information about each nonconforming item:
a. Description and exact location
b. Reference to applicable detail of approve plans\specifications
c. Name and title of each individual notified and method of notification
d. Resolution or corrective action taken
4. Provide timely reports. The special inspector should complete written inspection
reports for each inspection visit and provide the reports on a timely basis determined by
the building official.The special inspector or inspection agency shall furnish these
reports directly to the building official,engineer,or architect of record,and others as
designated. [IBC Section 1704.1.2] These reports should be organized on a daily and
weekly format and may be submitted weekly at the option of the building official. In
these reports,special inspectors should include:
a. Describe inspections and tests made,with applicable locations
b. Indicate how nonconforming items were resolved
c. List unresolved items,parties notified,time and method of notification
d. Itemize changes authorized by the engineer or architect of record if not
included in the nonconforming items.
5. Submit final report. Special inspectors or inspection agencies shall submit a final
signed report to the building depaitnient stating that all items requiring special inspection
and testing were fulfilled and reported,and to the best of their knowledge,in
conformance with the approved plans,specifications,and the applicable provisions of the
IBC. [IBC Section 1704.1.2] Items not in conformance,unresolved items,or any

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.
