Using eAuditor Audits & Inspection for this Checklist

1. Create a Template: Open eAuditor Audits & Inspection and create a new template. Use the above checklist structure to add relevant sections, questions, and response options.
2. Assign Actions: You can assign corrective actions directly within the checklist for any issues identified.
3. Add Photos and Notes: eAuditor Audits & Inspection allows you to attach photos and notes to each item, which is useful for documenting specific conditions.
4. Set Up Notifications: Set up notifications to alert relevant team members when an inspection is completed or if any issues are noted.
5. Generate Reports: After completing the inspection, you can generate a report directly from eAuditor Audits & Inspection to share with the project team.

This checklist will ensure that all critical aspects of the pre-pour inspection are covered, helping to prevent issues during the concrete pour.
