What should the RDP submit to the building department when structural observation is required?

When structural observation is required, the Registered Design Professional (RDP) is tasked with submitting a statement that clearly identifies the frequency and extent of the observations to the building department. This requirement is crucial as it provides the building department with clear expectations of the structural observation process that will be followed throughout the construction.

This statement is integral to ensuring that all parties are aware of how often and to what extent observations will occur, enabling effective oversight of the structural work to ensure compliance with design specifications and standards. By establishing a clear framework, the RDP helps to preemptively address any potential concerns regarding structural integrity and adherence to safety standards, which is essential for public safety.

Other options do not align with this specific requirement. A final inspection report would be submitted at the end of construction rather than during the process. A guarantee of compliance does not provide the necessary details about the observation process itself. Proof of training for inspectors, while important, does not directly relate to the requirements of structural observation documentation being submitted to the building department.
