What might a government property investigator / inspector do through out a month?

Hi Samantha,

Government property inspectors examine sewer and water systems, buildings, dams and highways to ensure that they are in compliance with governmental codes and standards and will be safe for the public to use. Inspections may take place during construction or remodeling, as well as periodically over the life of the property. A government property inspector also ensures that products and structures meet contractual agreements and stipulations.

Individual employers may show a preference for candidates who have completed a certificate program, coursework or an associate degree in building or construction technology, architecture or engineering.

Government property inspectors must be able to read complicated codes and statutes and use them to evaluate products and structures. Both oral and written communication skills are highly desirable. Investigative skills and good judgment are necessary to provide fair and accurate reports.

Here there is a list of activities that this professional performs:

• Examine structures to determine if they are up to governmental codes, standards, and requirements.


• Ensure structures do not pose a hazard to the general public.


• Ensure that products and structures meets contractual agreements and stipulations.


• Make an initial inspection during the first phase of construction and follow up with further inspections throughout the construction project.


• Inspect government-owned equipment and materials in the possession of private contractors.


• Report violations to government agencies.
  Interview plaintiffs, witnesses, or representatives of business or government to compile facts regarding alleged violations.


• Prepare reports about investigations and procedures undertaken to correct violations.


• Recommend legal or administrative action to protect government property.


• Convene with legal authorities on violations.


• Ensure companies and individuals hold licenses and permits required.


• Collect and evaluate case evidence.


• Testify in court or in administrative proceedings.


• Submit samples of products to government laboratories for testing.


• Ensure construction, alteration, or repair complies with building codes and ordinances, zoning regulations, and contract specifications.
