ILLUSTRATIVE PICTURE REPORTFramingExample report · Toggle details
A framing connection warrants closer field review.
- Location context
- Illustrative construction site
- Detailed observation
- The construction example shows a framing connector at a foundation anchorage. The image cannot establish embedment, fastener schedule, product approval, load path or whether the detail matches the approved plans.
- What the assessor should look for
- Identify the permitted project, inspection stage and local authority.
- Compare connector model, fasteners, spacing and anchorage to approved plans and adopted code edition.
- Measure concealed-prone details before covering and record any approved alternate.
- Recommendation
- Flag the specific detail for the authorized inspector and contractor. Obtain the approved plan detail and manufacturer instructions, then correct any verified discrepancy using a reviewed method before concealment. Do not assign an official code failure from the photograph alone; document the exact criterion and field measurement when established.
- Closeout
- Keep corrected close-ups, plan references, measurement notes and the authority’s disposition in the project record.

YOUR DOCUMENTS. YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
Bring your checklist.
Check the visible work.
Upload customer directions, guidelines, standards or contract requirements as PDF or Excel files. TruInspector Ai uses the relevant requirements alongside your photos and recorded videos to support a focused assessment.
2. Add the evidence
Identify the site, location and relevant area. Add photos or recorded video, select the assessment type, and attach your requirements for any specific priorities.
3. Review a traceable report
Relevant findings identify the customer document and available page, section or worksheet reference, explain the visible concern, and list corrective actions and missing field checks. Download the report as PDF or Excel.
Customer requirements are identified separately from official regulations. Confirm the applicable edition and scope; an upload does not establish legal applicability or certify compliance. Attachments stay within your signed-in workspace and are not included in public picture links.
Document-reading limits
Excel review uses up to the first 1,000 rows per worksheet and may summarize the content; embedded pictures and charts are not read. Export important diagrams and longer requirements sections as PDF. Use clear, unlocked documents and check source references in the report. Unreadable content, missing measurements, concealed conditions and requirements outside the evidence remain unverified. This is an assisted visual review, not a complete contract audit.

What the inspector should look for
- Identify the permitted project, inspection stage and local authority.
- Compare connector model, fasteners, spacing and anchorage to approved plans and adopted code edition.
- Measure concealed-prone details before covering and record any approved alternate.
Recommendation and work plan
Flag the specific detail for the authorized inspector and contractor. Obtain the approved plan detail and manufacturer instructions, then correct any verified discrepancy using a reviewed method before concealment. Do not assign an official code failure from the photograph alone; document the exact criterion and field measurement when established.
Closeout documentation
Keep corrected close-ups, plan references, measurement notes and the authority’s disposition in the project record.
Applicable requirement: Confirm state inspector rules, local adopted code and project documents as relevant. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Building envelopeWindow and weather-barrier details need inspection before concealment.Read picture report
Building envelopeIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The example shows a window perimeter and roof-to-wall weather barrier work in progress. Appearance alone cannot establish flashing continuity behind materials, product approval, installation sequence or water-tightness.
What the inspector should look for
- Confirm the approved plans, product approvals and applicable adopted edition.
- Check laps, terminations, penetrations and manufacturer installation details before concealment.
- Document the construction stage and any required field test.
Recommendation and work plan
Have the contractor expose or document the relevant detail while it remains accessible. Resolve any verified missing or reversed lap under the approved assembly and manufacturer requirements. Coordinate with the authority if an alternate detail is proposed. Keep the preliminary report focused on observable work and the additional checks needed.
Closeout documentation
Photograph the corrected sequence before cladding, retain product and plan references, and record the official inspection disposition.
Applicable requirement: Confirm state inspector rules, local adopted code and project documents as relevant. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Plumbing & mechanical rough-inOpen-wall pipework needs plan, support and test verification.Read picture report
Plumbing & mechanical rough-inIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The rough-in image shows supply and drainage lines in open framing. A still view does not prove pressure-test results, pipe sizing, concealed slope, supports behind framing or the approved system design.
What the inspector should look for
- Identify the permit scope and approved plumbing/mechanical plans.
- Verify accessible routing, support, penetrations and required clearances against the adopted provisions.
- Review required tests and records with the authorized inspector.
Recommendation and work plan
List the exact location and component for field review and request measurements or test documentation before walls are closed. Correct verified installation discrepancies using approved materials and plans; avoid specifying a code section unless the local adopted source is confirmed. Coordinate reinspection of affected rough-in work.
Closeout documentation
Attach test records, corrected photos, plan references and the authority’s reinspection result.
Applicable requirement: Confirm state inspector rules, local adopted code and project documents as relevant. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Electrical rough-inCable routing and boxes need authorized field review before covering.Read picture report
Electrical rough-inIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
Open-stud electrical boxes and cable runs are visible in the illustrative image. A photo cannot verify all cable protection, circuit design, conductor sizing, terminations, grounding continuity or test results.
What the inspector should look for
- Confirm permit, approved electrical plans and jurisdictional adopted edition.
- Inspect accessible box positions, fastening, protection and routing before concealment.
- Refer energized tests and hidden work to the authorized electrical inspector.
Recommendation and work plan
Mark each apparent issue by room and wall bay, then request qualified field verification against the controlling plans and code. Have the electrical contractor correct a confirmed defect and keep affected work accessible for reinspection. Do not claim the installation passes based on a sample image.
Closeout documentation
Record corrected close-ups, applicable plan or code reference, test evidence and the official inspection outcome.
Applicable requirement: Confirm state inspector rules, local adopted code and project documents as relevant. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Life safety & accessStairs, guards and openings require field measurements and plan checks.Read picture report
Life safety & accessIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The example shows a stair guard and an opening that may serve egress. Perspective does not establish riser or tread dimensions, guard height, opening clear area, operation or whether the space is subject to a specific provision.
What the inspector should look for
- Confirm room use, occupancy, plans and adopted local edition.
- Measure relevant stair, guard and opening dimensions on site.
- Check operation, continuity and any approved exception or alternative.
Recommendation and work plan
Have the authorized inspector compare measurements with the approved plans and adopted code. Correct only a verified nonconforming detail under a reviewed plan, and retain field measurements before finishing surfaces. Describe the visual concern as a preliminary observation until jurisdiction and applicability are established.
Closeout documentation
Retain measured as-built dimensions, corrected photographs and the authority’s final disposition.
Applicable requirement: Confirm state inspector rules, local adopted code and project documents as relevant. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Permit & field notesKeep uncertain observations traceable until the authority reviews them.Read picture report
Permit & field notesIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
A field note or construction photo may capture an item whose applicable trade or plan detail is unclear. It should remain a traceable observation rather than an unsupported code conclusion.
What the inspector should look for
- Identify the specific component, room or grid location.
- Confirm permit, plan sheet, inspection stage and responsible trade.
- Determine whether closer evidence or an authorized field visit is needed.
Recommendation and work plan
Preserve the original image and explain the uncertainty in the report. Route the question to the correct inspector or designer, then classify it under a supported construction category if verified. Avoid a pass/fail label until the authority identifies the governing requirement and facts.
Closeout documentation
Log the reviewer decision, cited plan or code reference and any subsequent evidence or reinspection.
Applicable requirement: Confirm state inspector rules, local adopted code and project documents as relevant. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
All images and findings are illustrative. They show report structure and inspection topics, not actual field evidence or a compliance decision.
