TCFP Plans Examiner Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT part of the plans review process?

1. Inspection of finished work

2. Review of submitted plans

3. Approval of changes

4. Assessment of safety

The correct answer is: Inspection of finished work

The plans review process primarily involves evaluating submitted designs to ensure they meet relevant codes and standards before any construction begins. This includes reviewing the submitted plans to verify that designs comply with regulations, assessing safety aspects to ensure the proposed work will be safe for future use, and approving any necessary changes to the plans during the review. Inspection of finished work occurs after the plans review process and relates to verifying that the constructed project adheres to the approved plans and applicable regulations. This step is a form of quality assurance, assessing whether the actual construction aligns with the intended design. Because of this timeline and order of processes, inspection of finished work is not part of the initial plans review stage, making it the correct answer in this context.
