Construction Inspection: Shear Wall Nailing Inspection
Verification of proper fastening patterns in lateral force-resisting systems.
Proper inspections are essential for ensuring quality and code compliance:
1. Scheduling: Coordinating inspection timing with construction progress and trade schedules 2. Notification: Providing required notice to code official before inspection 3. Preparation: Ensuring work is complete and accessible for inspection 4. Documentation: Providing plans, calculations, and test reports to inspector 5. Remediation: Correcting any deficiencies identified during inspection 6. Records: Maintaining inspection reports and approval documentation 7. Follow-up: Scheduling re-inspection if deficiencies were found 8. Final approval: Obtaining formal approval to proceed to next phase
Successful projects maintain regular communication with building inspectors and plan construction to accommodate inspection schedules. Anticipating potential issues reduces delays and rework.
