Inspection / Checking / Monitoring verifies that the work actually being manufactured and installed conforms with the required quality of workmanship, and is in accordance with the approved submittals and the contract documents.

These services cost money in the short term, but the amounts are miniscule in any life-cycle or long term cost analysis because they extend building life; thereby increasing earnings, protecting building value, and reducing insurance premiums.
