MMCD Inspector Course

This course does not cover technical inspection tasks like reading drawings or conducting field tests. Instead, it focuses on the administrative and contractual responsibilities of inspectors, especially in their interactions with contractors and Contract Administrators.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how authority is delegated, what responsibilities inspectors are legally bound to fulfil, and how to avoid common mistakes—such as acting beyond their role or missing key deadlines—that can create risk for themselves and their organization.
