Construction documentation and Communication (tahi)

What was meant to happen?

Obtain a checklist for the foundation inspection.

What did happen?

Searched up on the Auckland city council website for a checklist and the requirements for the foundations inspection. Hardly found information for both of the topics. Was suppose to get a checklist to help us out with requirements of the inspection.

Why did it happen?

This happened so that we could kill time in prepping up for the inspection. This would've helped out a lot of time and saves us from walking around with the inspector to fix up any problems.

What did we do to fix it?

We gathered some information from a few colleagues about the foundations inspection made a checklist. Then went around the house ticking off the boxes on our checklist.

The Construction industry communicates with documents in several ways of communication. Documents such as plans, maps, drawings or even the council papers like a building consent form. You could use a checklist that you have made up as a document to communicate in the industry because this can help with the building of the house. A checklist is very helpful for when it comes to inspection time. This would help to see if you reach the requirements on the checklist you have made or be up to date with the building process of the house. This can turn out to a success and save you time and money. =)
