Tool: Dual Construction Engineering Inspection Roles (26 D-B)
Session 7 of 8: November 17, 2022
What is it?
- The contractor hires one construction engineering inspector (CEI) to inspect, test, and verify quality and the agency hires an oversight CEI to conduct statistical sampling for quality acceptance
Why use it?
- Encourages quality construction
- With CEI-OCEI handling quality management, the agency can focus on other aspects of the project
How to use it?
- Decide to use CEI-OCEI before construction starts
- CEI should act independently of the contractor
- Conduct partnering sessions with CEI and OCEI to promote good communication
