Publish building inspectors corrections requests.
Save cities and builders money by avoiding common mistakes.
Inefficiency in construction is a burden that affects timelines, costs, and the overall quality of projects. One key to unlocking improved efficiency lies with building inspectors. By publicly posting the corrections requested on previous projects, inspectors can offer valuable insights and preemptive guidance.
Often, builders make the same mistakes due to a lack of awareness of regulatory nuances and interpretations. This results in repetitive correction requests, leading to delays and increased costs. However, if inspectors shared feedback openly, builders could learn from past errors and incorporate this knowledge into their work, reducing errors and streamlining the building process.
A more transparent process would also foster a collaborative environment where builders and inspectors work together rather than in opposition. Thus, it’s high time cities have inspectors to share their corrective feedback publicly - a step towards efficient, cost-effective, and higher-quality construction.
