Missed inspection evaluations
- Review of what stage was missed
- Evaluation of accessible existing conditions
- Notes on work that is now covered
- Documentation to support the inspection record
Services
Missed and failed inspection support.
A missed inspection may leave work undocumented; a failed inspection identifies items that need attention. We review the permit record and existing conditions, then prepare engineering details or letters to help address the outstanding items.
Failed inspection responses
- Review of the inspection report item by item
- Correction details for the items that need engineering
- Notes for the items the contractor can handle directly
- Documentation of the work once it is corrected
Field evaluations
- Site visits in Orlando and Orange County
- Photos and measurements for the file
- Assessment of what can be verified in place
- Clear notes about what still needs to be opened up
Correction details
- Repair details for framing, foundations, and connections
- Structural items the inspector called out
- Details the contractor can build from without guesswork
- Revisions when the fix changes in the field
Letters and documentation
- Sealed letters describing observed conditions
- Documentation of corrections completed
- Responses to questions from the inspector
- Support for permit closeout
Working with your team
- Direct conversations with the contractor on site
- Coordination with the inspector when questions come up
- Sequencing so the fix does not create a second problem
- Straight answers about what is urgent and what is not
Two different situations
The next step depends on the inspection history.
We first establish whether the work was inspected and what the inspection record says. That determines what needs to be evaluated or corrected.
A missed inspection
Work moved ahead before the inspection took place, and some of it may now be covered. We identify what can be verified and what needs additional access or documentation.
A failed inspection
The inspector issued a list of items to correct. Your contractor may be able to address some directly; others need an engineered repair detail or supporting documentation.
Work that got covered too early
Drywall closed over framing, a slab poured before the under-slab inspection, siding installed before the sheathing was seen. This is the most common version of a missed inspection, and it is where photos and records matter most.
Common questions
What people want to know first.
Can you inspect work that is already covered?
We can evaluate what is accessible and document it accurately. If something needs to be opened up to verify, we will say so and describe how much of it needs to come apart.
Does every failed inspection need an engineer?
No. Many items can be corrected by the contractor and scheduled for re-inspection. We get involved when the item is engineering related or when the contractor wants documentation behind the fix.
Who schedules the re-inspection?
That stays with the permit holder or the contractor. Our part is making sure the documentation and details are ready before the inspector comes back.
Start a project
Send the inspection report or the permit history.
Even a screenshot of the inspection portal helps. We will tell you what can be documented, whether a visit is needed, and what engineering support may be needed.
