What should be included in the report issued by the special inspector after notifying individuals on-site?

1. The weather conditions

2. Changes authorized by the design professional in charge

3. Daily worker attendance

4. Site security measures

The correct answer is: Changes authorized by the design professional in charge

The report issued by the special inspector after notifying individuals on-site should include changes authorized by the design professional in charge. This is crucial because the special inspector is responsible for ensuring that the construction work aligns with the approved plans and specifications. When changes are made, it's essential to document these alterations as they can significantly impact the project's compliance with codes and standards. Involving the design professional is vital because they hold the authority to approve modifications to the design, and their authorization ensures that any changes meet the necessary criteria for safety and quality. Failing to record these changes could lead to inconsistencies in construction practices and may result in non-compliance with the permit or design intent. The other options, while they may be relevant in certain contexts, are not essential components of the report that the special inspector is required to issue. Weather conditions, daily worker attendance, and site security measures are important aspects of project management and site safety, but they do not have the same level of impact on compliance and design integrity as the authorized changes do. Therefore, the focus of the special inspector's report is accurately centered on document changes that have been officially approved.
