Inspection request log

Job register

Inspections you asked for, when you asked, who you asked, and what you were told afterwards.

Asked, attended, and what was said

An inspection request has a small number of facts worth keeping and they all go missing: when you asked, who you asked, what reference they gave you, when somebody came, and what they told you. Five fields, on one row, per request.

It approves nothing and implies nothing

No stage in this register means granted, passed, approved or certified. It is not connected to any authority. Whatever an inspecting body decides, they issue on their own paper, and that document is the record — this is your note that you asked and what you heard.

Around it

Something found that does not match the drawings is the nonconformance log. Permits and certificates with expiry dates go on the certificate tracker, and the checks you do yourself before a pour are the pre-pour checklist.

Your own record of requests you made and what you were told. It is connected to no authority, sends nothing, books nothing, states no required inspection, and no entry here is a pass, an approval, a permit or a certification. Everything runs on your device.

Questions people ask

Does this request an inspection for me?
No. No request is sent to anybody. This product is not connected to any building department, engineer or certifying body, transmits nothing and books nothing. You make the request the way you always do; this is where you write down that you made it.
Is a row marked closed the same as a pass?
It is not, and the wording is chosen so nobody can read it that way. Closed means you are finished with the row. What the inspector said goes in the outcome field in their words, and the official record is whatever document they issue — not this.
What inspections does my job need?
This tool does not say. Required inspections depend on the jurisdiction, the permit and the work, and a list published here would be a requirement invented by a website. Ask the authority that issued your permit.
Why record who you asked?
Because six weeks later the question is never “did we ask” — it is “who did we ask, and when”. The body, the person, the date and the reference they gave you are four fields that settle it, and none of them survives in anybody's memory.
