Construction Inspection Report Template
What this document is
A construction inspection report documents the findings of a formal site inspection — whether performed by the builder's superintendent, a third-party inspector, or a lender's inspector for draw purposes. It records what was inspected, what passed, what requires correction, and any follow-up required before work proceeds.
Who it's for
- Builders and superintendents performing self-inspections before calling for official inspections
- General contractors documenting third-party inspection results
- Lenders and title companies requiring inspection reports for construction loan draws
- Insurance adjusters and restoration contractors documenting scope completion
