What is one of the key responsibilities of a building department employee during inspections?

Communicating with contractors
Reporting on structural issues
Staying impartial and professional
Documenting construction methods

The correct answer is: Staying impartial and professional

Staying impartial and professional is a critical responsibility of a building department employee during inspections because it ensures that the inspection process is conducted fairly, without bias, and based solely on adherence to codes and regulations. This impartiality helps maintain the integrity of the inspection process, allowing for objective evaluations of the construction work being assessed. When inspectors approach their duties from an impartial standpoint, it builds trust among contractors and stakeholders, as they can be confident that decisions are based on established standards rather than personal opinions or external influences. Maintaining professionalism also enhances communication and collaboration among all parties involved in the construction project.
