ICC Permit Technician Practice Exam

A correction notice informs a contractor of:

1. Additional fees for inspections

2. What must be done to bring inspected work into compliance with the code

3. Changes in project deadlines

4. Materials needed for compliance

The correct answer is: What must be done to bring inspected work into compliance with the code

A correction notice is a formal communication to a contractor that details the specific actions needed to remedy a situation where the inspected work does not meet the required code standards. This notice serves as a guide, informing the contractor of the exact deficiencies in the work and outlining what modifications or repairs must be undertaken to ensure compliance with applicable building codes and regulations. This component is crucial as it helps maintain safety standards and quality in construction, guiding contractors to rectify issues before further inspections or approvals can proceed. By focusing on compliance with the code, the correction notice plays a key role in ensuring that all construction adheres to legal and safety standards, ultimately protecting the interests of the public and maintaining the integrity of the construction process. The other options address subjects outside the primary purpose of a correction notice. For instance, additional fees might be related to various other factors and not the compliance issues outlined in a correction notice. Changes in project deadlines would typically be communicated through other means, often related to contractual changes or scheduling discussions. Similarly, while materials could be mentioned in the context of achieving compliance, a correction notice itself specifically targets the actions required for compliance rather than listing materials per se.
