Common use of Code Inspections Clause in Contracts

Code Inspections. All projects require detailed code compliance inspections during construction in disciplines determined by the Owner’s Permitting Authority. These disciplines normally include, but are not necessarily limited to, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and general building. Inspection personnel will be provided by the Owner’s Permitting Authority at Owner’s cost. Names, addresses, and phone numbers of the inspector(s) will be provided to the Construction Manager by the Owner’s Permitting Authority. The Construction Manager shall notify the appropriate inspector(s), no less than 24 hours in advance, that the work is ready for inspection and before the work is covered up. Work not inspected and approved prior to cover-up shall be uncovered for inspection when directed by the Owner’s Permitting Authority. All costs for uncovering and reconstruction shall be borne by the Construction Manager. All inspections shall be made for conformance with the applicable building codes, compliance with drawings and specifications, and quality. Cost for all re-inspections of work found defective and subsequently repaired shall be borne by the Construction Manager, provided, however, that because Construction Manager does not hereby assume the professional liability of any design professionals, Construction Manager has no liability arising from reinspections and repairs to the extent required to correct code violations that are the result of design errors or omissions, or design defects or omissions.
