The bid captain reviews the final hour checklist: wall cavities are ready for drywall before the required inspection occurs. What should the superintendent do?
Correct Answer
D) Hold cover work until the inspection is completed
Hold cover work until the inspection is completed is the contract-appropriate response: the distractors either bypass required review, conceal a defect, or create a payment or quality dispute in scenario item 309.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Hold cover work until the inspection is completed is the contract-appropriate response
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Cover and photograph; under a different safety or administration requirement
Choice A gives Cover and photograph; under a different safety or administration requirement. Its specific error: it answers the Inspection hold prompt with the wrong practical move.
Option B: Ask for signoff later
Choice B (Ask for signoff later) is rejected because it leaves out the controlling Inspection hold result.
Option C: Skip the inspection
In general project requirements, Skip the inspection is the wrong selection for Inspection hold: the option delays or omits the controlling step.
Memory Technique
Pair inspection hold with the real field trigger, then choose the response that produces Hold cover work until the inspection is completed.
Reference Hint
Open Construction Jobsite Management, 5th Ed.; use the index entry or section for "Inspection hold points" to confirm that Hold cover work until the inspection is completed is the contract-appropriate response
