What is the difference between Building Inspector vs Construction Inspector?
| Aspect | Building Inspector | Construction Inspector |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | State or local licensing, certifications in building codes | Similar licensing, often with additional construction-specific certifications |
| Work Environment | Inspecting residential, commercial, and public buildings | Monitoring construction sites, ensuring compliance during building phases |

Inspect, observe, document, and verify work in progress by the construction contractor to ensure compliance with project schedule, contract documents, and plans.
