Who is responsible for verifying that construction activities conform to the plans approved by the plans examiner and issued as part of the permit documents?

• A. City planner
• B. Building inspector
• C. Fire marshal
• D. Plans examiner

Answer: (D)

Verifying that construction activities conform to the plans approved by the plans examiner and issued with the permit documents is the plans examiner’s responsibility. They review and approve the design, attach the permit package, and ensure that what is built matches those approved plans and any permit conditions. If changes are needed, they review and approve amendments before work proceeds. The building inspector enforces code compliance on site, but the specific conformity to the approved plans and permit package traces back to the plans examiner. The fire marshal and city planner handle different aspects (fire/life safety and zoning/land use, respectively) and are not the ones tasked with verifying that construction follows the approved plans.
