Foundation Inspection Procedure

All inspections must be performed according to the procedures outlined in this Appendix Chapter L, of the 2000 Jefferson County Building Code Supplement to the International Building Code and must be signed and stamped by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer or Colorado Licensed Architect. (Drilled pier foundations must bear the seal of a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer.) This appendix to the code provides a procedural guideline and is as comprehensive as possible, but cannot account for every possible situation encountered in the field. The guidelines shall be deemed to be the minimum inspection required and do not relieve the engineer or architect from any responsibility to conduct such additional inspections as may be necessary to determine that the foundation conforms to the plans and specification accepted for construction for the above referenced project. The inspecting engineer/ architect is required to consult the design engineer/architect on any unusual condition which may arise on the site. A set of foundation drawings bearing the Jefferson County Stamp must be on the job site. Any modifications to accepted plans must be approved by the design engineer and revised plans showing those modification submitted to the Department of Building Safety.

Verification Of Inspection

Our representative has inspected the applicable portion of the foundation and subsurface drainage system (where applicable) in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this appendix chapter of the International Building Code. I do hereby verify that the portions inspected were in compliance with the plans and specifications on file with the Department of Building Safety. However, this verification is not a guarantee as to the overall performance of the foundation system.Drilling logs for drilled pier foundations MUST be attached to the Foundation Compliance Form.Fill out Section A if one engineer has completed and is responsible for all the required inspections.Fill out Section B only if more than one engineer has completed and is responsible for the required inspections.
