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.
