When should an electrical contractor plan inspection hold points for a project?

To avoid schedule delays, an electrical contractor can bypass pre-job inspection hold point planning and instead rely entirely on remote video inspections whenever an installation stage is ready for review.

You are managing a commercial remodel where your team is installing conduit inside walls that will soon be closed up by drywallers. Arrange the steps in the correct order to properly apply schedule controls for required inspections.

Analyze the following project scenarios. Match each scenario to the specific principle of inspection hold point planning that was either violated or ignored.

You are evaluating a troubled project where an electrical contractor was forced to tear down newly installed drywall at their own expense because the AHJ had not yet approved the rough-in wiring. Critiquing the project's original timeline to determine the root cause of this costly error, you find that the contractor failed to coordinate with the drywall crew to pause work before the installation stage was covered. To prevent this financial and compliance failure on future jobs, you require the contractor to implement a proactive schedule control known as inspection ____ point planning.
