Inspections within the building industry are surrounded by a rigorous set of rules presented in AB 04 and ABT 94. There are several types of inspections but the final inspection has the biggest legal implications and is important in many aspects, since it’s the one that ends the contract time for the contract i.e. when the contract is passed on from contractor to the client. It is also a confirmation on how the contract has been carried out and that the potential guarantee times after the contract will start to apply. The objective of the following report is to find out what different types of inspections there are as well as a legal understanding about what happens before, during and above all after the final inspection. The report aims to pinpoint complementary inspections i.e. quality driven approvals and if it can possibly be a way to minimise the number of mistakes during the contract time as well as the final inspection. In order to analyse whether quality driven approval could replace inspections we choose to interview clients and contractors to create an authentic picture on how things work on a building project. Literature on the subject will also be discussed. An attempt will be done to describe why mistakes occur in a contract and how common they are. A final inspection will be studied in detail. It will be carried out in cooperation with an inspector in order to clarify how an inspector finishes a final inspection protocol. The report ends with a discussion on whether inspections should remain in the future or if quality driven approvals could come to work as a satisfying replacement in order to obtain a better contract. / <p>Uppsatsnivå: C</p>

Byggbranschen genomgår för närvarande en modernisering där drönarteknik är en del av denna. Bygg- och fastighetsföretag är nyfikna på att testa nya teknologier för att förbättra sitt arbetssätt och där är drönare försedd med värmekamera ett intressant område att utforska. Genom en djupgående undersökning belyser denna rapport genom relevanta litteraturstudier och intervjustudier marknadens läge idag, fördelar och hinder vid implementationen av drönare med monterad värmekamera för termiska inspektioner samt teknikens framtida utvecklingspotential. För att redogöra de begränsningar som kan uppstå kring en byggtermisk inspektion med drönare har ett fall framförts till intervjupersonerna för att tydligare kunna jämföra drönaren med den traditionellt handhållna värmekameran. Detta för att komma fram till om drönare är ett braverktyg för bygginspektören. I resultatdelen påvisas att drönare utrustade med värmekamera kan vara ett bra komplement till handhållna värmekameror och att bygginspektörer kommer använda sig mer av drönare i framtiden. / The construction industry is currently undergoing a modernizationwhere drone technology is a part of this. Construction and realestate companies are curious to test new technologies to improvetheir way of working, where drones equipped with a thermal camera isan area that is being fully explored. Through an in-depth analysis, this report highlights through relevantliterature studies and interview studies, benefits and barriers inthe implementation of drone technology for thermal inspections andthe future development potential of the technology through relevantliterature studies and interview studies. In order to describe the limitations that may arise regarding abuilding thermal inspection with drones, a case has been put forwardto the interviewees in order to more clearly compare the drone withthe traditionally hand-held thermal camera. This is to decide whetherdrones are a good tool for building inspectors. The results section shows that drones with a thermal camera equipped,in some cases are a good complement to the traditional handheldthermal camera and that drones are to be used more by buildinginspectors in the future.
