ca   roles  and  responsibilities - 3 - SITE   INSPECTIONS​​
​​

Site Inspection frequency is determined by the nature and progress of the works and should include:
(1) The CA recording basic information, which can usefully be done on a standard sheet noting such matters as:

•  date and time of inspection
• weather conditions
• number and type of operatives on site
• basic details of any instructions given on site
• progress of the works, including any specific activities being undertaken during the visit or not yet undertaken

(2) A review of the quality of workmanship related to the contract documents. The CA will need to be familiar with the preliminaries or preambles in the specification and relevant codes of practice, etc.
(3) A review of progress in relation to the contract programme. The CA may need to discuss with the contractor action to be taken to ensure the programme is followed.
(4) A check on materials being used. Instructions may be required for substitute materials.
(5) A check that the works conform to the specification and drawings. The CA may need the assistance of specialist designers of the works (e.g. structural or services engineers) and their inspections should ideally be coordinated with those of the CA.
(6) Noting general information to enable the CA to   eport to the employer on the progress and quality of the works.
(7) Records of any measurement of work that might be needed for certification purposes, particularly where they may be covered up before the valuation date.
(8) A general awareness of health and safety  arrangements on site, with any concerns being brought to the attention of the contractor.
