The inspection of construction sites is one of the greatest challenges for civil engineers. 

If you are facing this, know that it is very normal to feel a certain weight on your shoulders to ensure that everything is in accordance with technical and safety standards.

And often, if you do not have the help of a construction monitoring tool, this work can become even more difficult. 

And it is no wonder. The fear of facing problems such as rework or penalties is real! 

But know that relying on tools like Construct IN can make all the difference. You will understand this in this blog post.

How to conduct construction inspections? 

One thing you cannot forget is that the inspection of construction sites is part of the activities of site monitoring

Here are some tips to help you prepare for an inspection. Paying attention to the details below will help you get through this phase without major problems. 

1. Get informed about all regulations and standards

Knowing the various standards and regulations well will help ensure quality, safety, and compliance with the law. 

But it is important for you to know that they can vary depending on the location of the construction and the type of building, which is why engineers always need to stay updated.

Here are some standards you should know:

2. Prioritize safety on the construction site

It is the engineer's responsibility to inspect whether all safety procedures are being strictly followed. 

It is necessary to pay attention to the correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the compliance with the standards of Collective Protective Equipment (CPE). 

To help with this task, our software features a functionality called INsight Safety. The system identifies people without helmets in 360° images and generates immediate notifications, maintaining compliance with safety regulations.

However, it is important to mention that safety on the construction site is not limited to protecting workers. It aims to ensure that the work does not jeopardize the neighborhood, the environment, and even the equipment and materials used. 

Establishing a safe environment means conducting regular training with the team, maintaining adequate signage throughout the site, and being alert to inappropriate practices that could compromise safety, such as poorly installed scaffolding, etc.

3. Conduct regular inspections

To ensure that everything is in accordance with the plan, it is necessary to carry out periodic inspections at all phases of the project. 

This activity should not be ignored, as it serves to identify possible problems that may impact compliance with the standards. 

When performed correctly, they minimize the chances of unforeseen events and ensure greater predictability for the project's completion.

Construct IN is a tool that can help you with this task. With it, you can:

4. Maintain clear communication with the team

Construction inspection is a collaborative task. Therefore, it is essential to establish open and clear communication among all parties involved in the project. 

The engineer responsible for the inspection must ensure that there is an efficient exchange of information between all sectors.

Regular meetings with the team and the creation of follow-up reports ensure that everyone is aligned and that necessary adjustments are made promptly.

Communication gaps can lead to rework, failures in compliance with standards, and even accidents. 

An effective way to avoid this is to use our software, which consolidates all information from the site in one place, reducing the possibility of errors.

5. Record and document everything

During the inspection, it is essential to document all activities, decisions, and changes that occur. 

This includes keeping a daily report of construction, photos that prove the progress of the work, meeting minutes, and other documentation that may be requested by regulatory bodies. 

Well-maintained documentation is your best defense in case of future problems, such as inquiries about project compliance or audits. 

With Construct IN, you can easily and quickly generate multiple reports with just a few clicks. 

6. Create an immediate corrective action

When a problem is identified during the inspection of construction sites, it is very important that corrective actions are taken immediately. 

The key is to act quickly to prevent minor issues from turning into major failures that could compromise the project.

7. Take advantage of technology

Technology in construction is a great ally in construction inspections. 

Modern tools, such as drones for aerial inspections and construction management software, like Construct IN, enable the engineer to inspect large areas with greater precision in data collection.

The use of BIM, when integrated with our platform, for example, allows for a 3D visualization of the project in comparison with what is being executed on-site.
