Construction Inspection Manual
9th Edition
PROVIDES UNIVERSAL STANDARDS
FOR DESIGN, SPECIFICATIONS, CONSTRUCTION AND INSPECTION
For over 35 years, the Construction Inspection Manual
has been the nationally accepted guide used by the construction
industry for specification writing and inspection procedures. It
features an extensive series of checklists for field inspection
covering basic elements in a construction project and is formatted
to correspond to the Construction Specification Institute's
MASTERFORMAT.
This extensively revised and
updated ninth edition is updated with detailed testing procedures,
and inspection checklists covering everything from sitework and
earthwork to finishes and electrical installations.
This book represents the standard in inspection procedures on all
types of construction work. It was written to achieve a consensus
among owners, architects, engineers, contractors, and construction
inspectors as to the best methods and practices.
The need for good field inspection is essential, due to the number
of overlapping building codes, specification standards, and
individual interpretations among architects, engineers and other
agencies. This book supplies standards from the duties and
responsibilities of the inspector, to achieving code compliance, to
checklists to be used in the inspection process, to handling
specific concerns dealing with the project location.
Expanded appendix, with graphs, charts and tables. This new edition
represents an extremely valuable reference for the inspector,
architect, engineer, contractor, specification writer, construction
manager, owner and facilities manager
