Draw Inspectors primarily focus on reviewing and verifying technical drawings and CAD files to ensure accuracy before construction begins. Structural Inspectors, on the other hand, evaluate the safety and compliance of structural elements during and after construction. While both roles require knowledge of construction standards, Draw Inspectors are more involved in the design phase, whereas Structural Inspectors focus on structural integrity during the building process.
