The construction process generates a complex web of documents that serve as the backbone of compliance, coordination, and accountability. From the building permit application to the final occupancy inspection, each record tells part of the story. This presentation will break down these critical documents and highlight the key information that can be extracted from these records. We will explore how owners, architects, engineers, contractors and municipalities interact through them to understand their respective roles. We will conclude with a case study to illustrate how understanding these records allow us to identify the issues that occurred and the responsible parties.
