The Construction Inspector serves as the Owner's eyes and ears in the field. The inspector observes construction, verifies conformance with the contract documents and approved requirements, maintains accurate daily records, coordinates testing and survey needs, measures installed quantities, and communicates developing issues early enough for the project team to respond.
