What is Reinforcing Steel Inspection?
Reinforcing steel inspection — also known as rebar inspection — is a required special inspection under the California Building Code (CBC) and Local standards. It verifies that steel reinforcement is properly sized, placed, and tied before concrete is poured. This critical inspection ensures structural integrity and safety for all types of construction projects including residential, commercial, and public works.
