Summary

Construction site inspections play a crucial role in ensuring safety and compliance throughout the lifecycle of a building project by identifying and addressing potential hazards such as loose scaffolding or unstable excavations. These inspections occur at various phases, from planning to ongoing site management, to confirm that work progresses safely and according to regulations, while also ensuring alignment with approved plans. Inspectors document working conditions, flag compliance issues, and provide detailed reports to stakeholders, which are essential for maintaining communication and legal documentation. Tools like Felt's Field App enhance the efficiency and accuracy of these inspections by allowing for standardized data collection, real-time progress tracking, and the inclusion of geotagged photos to provide context. This technology supports transparent workflows and helps transform field data into actionable insights, ensuring that construction projects remain safe, functional, and compliant.
