A proposito di questo titolo
 Your building is nearly finished.The consultants have signed off. Integrated systems testing is complete. Everyone is talking about move-in day.Now the building inspector is coming.In Episode 50 of What the RFI?, we’re talking about one of the biggest milestones in Construction Administration: the occupancy inspection.What happens when the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) arrives on site? What is the building inspector actually looking for? Who should attend the inspection? And what happens when the inspector finds something standing between your project and an occupancy permit?This is Part 3 of our four-part Occupancy & Project Closeout Series.🏗️ IN THIS EPISODEWhat AHJ — Authority Having Jurisdiction — actually meansWho may be involved in an occupancy inspectionWhy the occupancy process varies between municipalitiesWhen to start communicating with the building inspectorWhy occupancy day should NOT be the first time you meet your inspectorHow to perform your own pre-occupancy walkthroughExiting, egress and life-safety requirementsAccessibility items inspectors may reviewFire department requirements and inspectionsWho should attend the occupancy inspectionWhat to do when the inspector identifies something unexpectedWhy arguing with the AHJ on site usually isn’t the answerHow to document and close inspection deficienciesRe-inspections and follow-up reviewsPartial and conditional occupancyGetting to the final occupancy approvalOne of the biggest lessons from this episode?Walk the building BEFORE the inspector does!Forget about the paint touch-ups for a moment and put on your building-inspector hat.Follow the path of egress. Open the doors. Check the hardware. Look at accessibility. Look at guards and handrails. Look at fire separations and fire department access. Make sure the building’s life-safety systems are actually ready.And when the inspector finds something — because they probably will — don’t panic.Understand the concern. Document it. Assign it. Resolve it.And keep the project moving toward occupancy.CHAPTERS00:00 — The Building Inspector Is Here00:20 — Welcome to What the RFI?02:00 — What Is an AHJ?03:30 — Know Your AHJ04:46 — Don’t Meet the Inspector on Occupancy Day07:24 — Walk the Building Before They Do08:49 — What Will the AHJ Look For?10:29 — Fire Department Review13:05 — Occupancy Inspection Day16:03 — Before the AHJ Leaves18:03 — Unexpected AHJ Deficiencies20:05 — Closing the Deficiencies23:00 — Partial & Conditional Occupancy25:02 — Final AHJ Review Tips27:01 — Don’t Celebrate Yet!🎧 OCCUPANCY & PROJECT CLOSEOUT SERIESThis is Part 3 of a four-part What the RFI? series following a construction project through occupancy preparation, integrated systems testing, the AHJ inspection and ultimately project closeout.PART 1 — OCCUPANCY PREPARATIONWhat needs to happen before you can even think about calling for an occupancy inspection?https://youtu.be/HDiwBEi4oHYPART 2 — CAN/ULC-S1001 INTEGRATED SYSTEMS TESTINGWhat happens when all of the building’s life-safety systems are finally tested together?https://youtu.be/NflfD6lh0GsPART 3 — OCCUPANCY INSPECTIONS: WHAT BUILDING INSPECTORS LOOK FORYou’re listening to it!PART 4 — PROJECT CLOSEOUTComing next: moving from occupancy into takeover, deficiencies, closeout documentation and the final stages of the construction contract.▶️ WATCH THE COMPLETE OCCUPANCY & PROJECT CLOSEOUT SERIEShttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDgn59YOfGm8🎙️ ABOUT WHAT THE RFI?What the RFI? is a podcast about Construction Administration and what actually happens during construction.We talk about RFIs, shop drawings and submittals, Supplemental Instructions, Change Orders, site meetings, field reviews, deficiencies, occupancy, project closeout and everything that happens between the construction drawings and the finished building.Whether you’re an architect, construction administrator, consultant, contractor, project manager or just starting your career in construction, the goal is simple:Make Construction Administration easier to understand.🌐 Learn more about What the RFI? and Construction Administration:https://www.whattherfi.comGot an RFI for Matt?
