Preview Questions Building Inspector | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the role of seismic design considerations in site inspections for compliance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ensuring that seismic design features are optional in regions with low seismic activity

Ensuring that the structure meets earthquake resistance and seismic load requirements to protect occupants during seismic events

Verifying that decorative elements of the building are safe during seismic events

Checking that only high-rise buildings comply with seismic standards

Question 2: How should the "condition of waterproofing materials" be checked during a site inspection?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Waterproofing materials are only checked if leaks are reported

Inspectors check that waterproofing materials are installed correctly and are free from damage to prevent water infiltration

Inspectors only check waterproofing after construction is complete

Waterproofing material checks are unnecessary unless there is visible damage

Question 3: How should building inspectors verify the "compressive strength" of concrete during a site inspection?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Compressive strength testing is not part of the inspection process

Compressive strength of concrete is irrelevant unless there is visible cracking

Inspectors check that concrete samples meet the required compressive strength as per the project specifications

Inspectors only verify compressive strength if the project involves high-rise buildings

Question 4: How should an inspector assess "lighting systems" during a site inspection to ensure compliance with safety and code requirements?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Inspectors do not need to check lighting systems unless visible damage is reported

Lighting compliance only applies to exterior areas

Lighting systems are only checked if a complaint is made about visibility

Inspectors verify that lighting systems are installed with proper wiring, adequate illumination, and comply with energy efficiency codes

Question 5: What is the primary purpose of conducting a soil test on a construction site?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To analyze the water retention capacity of the soil

To determine the soil's ability to support foundation loads

To test the soil's aesthetic quality

To check for possible contamination

Question 6: How do "hazardous materials" regulations impact building inspections for code compliance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Inspectors only check hazardous materials if a complaint is filed

Inspectors ensure that hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, lead paint) are handled and disposed of according to safety codes

Hazardous material regulations only apply during demolition and not during construction

Inspectors are not responsible for checking hazardous materials during construction
