Fire Stopping Inspection Signoff Missing Before Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is being held because the buyer says the fire-stopping inspection signoff, penetration-seal approval, or passive fire protection closeout record is still missing. This is different from a fire door or escape-route page because the blocker here is the inspection of sealed penetrations, compartmentation details, and the formal record that fire stopping has been reviewed and accepted. The commercial problem is that most of the work can be complete, but the payer will still hold back the last balance until the passive fire package is signed off in writing. Your email should ask whether fire-stopping approval is the only remaining blocker, whether inspections have already happened, what area or penetration detail is still open, and whether payment will be released once that signoff is issued. The outcome you want is to reduce a vague safety-related delay to one named fire-stopping approval with a clear owner and next step.
