Construction and Building Inspectors - Main Construction and Building Inspectors Construction and building inspectors examine buildings, streets, and other structures. They examine buildings during construction or repairs. Inspectors make sure that structures meet building codes and zoning regulations.
Building codes require that structures be built in certain ways.
The blueprint is examined before construction begins. Inspections start during the first phase of construction. Follow-up inspections are made during construction. The purpose of the frequent visits is to make sure that buildings continue to meet regulations. Inspectors suggest changes and check later that they were made.
