Which practice is described as making inspector site visits more efficient and effective?

• A. Coordinating inspections with completion dates
• B. Relying on contractor reports
• C. Visiting only after project completion
• D. Random unplanned visits

Answer: (A)

Coordinating inspections with completion dates keeps visits tied to when work is ready for review, letting the inspector verify critical fire and life-safety features at the proper milestones and confirm that required corrections are handled promptly. This targeted timing prevents unnecessary trips, catches issues as they arise, and reduces rework and delays toward occupancy. Relying on contractor reports can miss deficiencies or inaccuracies, and inspecting only after completion misses safety issues, while random, unplanned visits disrupt workflow and waste time.
