Project and Plan Verification

Verify the current approved structural plans, framing details, and revisions are available for reference during inspection.
Record the building area, floor/level, gridline, room, or wall segment inspected.
Confirm framing is sufficiently exposed to verify members, fasteners, blocking, shear elements, and connections before concealment.
Document the governing code or project standard used for the inspection, such as IBC 2304 and approved structural notes.
Record any areas not accessible, concealed conditions, or scope limitations that affect verification.

Members, Layout, and Framing Alignment

Check member sizes, spacing, and layout against the approved framing plans and structural notes.
Verify framing members are installed without excessive bowing, twisting, or misalignment that would affect load transfer or finish installation.
Inspect field modifications, notches, bored holes, and end cuts for consistency with the approved structural details and no visible overcutting or damage.
Document any cracked, split, crushed, decayed, or otherwise damaged framing members requiring repair or replacement.
Record specific locations of any observed non-conformance, including member type and extent of damage or deviation.

Fasteners and Nailing Schedule

Confirm fastener type, size, spacing, and edge distances match the approved nailing schedule for the inspected assembly.
Verify visible fasteners are installed at the specified spacing, including perimeter and field nailing where applicable.
Check joist hangers, straps, clips, and similar connectors for correct fastener count, type, and placement.
Inspect for overdriven nails, split members, missing fasteners, or other fastening defects that reduce connection capacity.
List any locations where fastening does not match the approved schedule or manufacturer requirements.

Blocking, Bridging, and Fire/Structural Continuity

Confirm blocking is present where required by plans or code, including at panel edges, bearing locations, and framing transitions.
Verify bridging or blocking is properly fitted, secured, and aligned to provide intended lateral support.
Inspect corners, wall intersections, and rough openings for proper framing support and continuity.
Document any missing, loose, undersized, or improperly installed blocking or bridging.

Shear Panels and Lateral Resistance

Confirm shear panels or shear walls are installed in the locations shown on the approved plans.
Verify the installed panel material, thickness, and orientation match the structural design and manufacturer requirements.
Inspect panel edge fastening, boundary member attachment, and hold-down or chord conditions for visible compliance with the approved schedule.
Record any discontinuities, field modifications, or openings that may affect the lateral load path.

Uplift, Hold-Downs, and Final Sign-Off

Confirm straps, anchors, hold-downs, and tie-down hardware are installed at required locations and oriented correctly.
Verify anchor bolts, embedment, washers, and visible hardware match the approved structural details.
Indicate whether any critical structural deficiencies were found that require correction and reinspection before concealment.
Inspector signs to confirm the findings and documented deficiencies are accurate to the best of their knowledge.
